I got a good price by calling the hotel directly, but the overall stay was very average. The hotel is very close to Tysons Corner, but the exact location isn't nice. There's a Fuddruckers practically on the hotel grounds, which doesn't exactly increase the classiness of the CI. When we checked in, they said we had reserved 2 doubles instead of the 1 queen I was told when I mad ehte reservation. The person checking us in argued with me and said we were out of luck because all the rooms were booked, but since we weren't willing to give in that quickly, she miraculously found a room with a queen after looking for 2 seconds. So, that wasn't a very pleasant experience. Then the room itself was average. There was a hair on our bed but the rest of the place appeared to be clean. Basically, just expect a motel rather than a hotel. The few upsides are free parking, free shuttle within a few miles (although I can't attest to this since I never used this service), and the breakfast was better than expected. They had yogurts, coffee cake, bagels, english muffins, and even waffle makers!

I've stayed in this hotel twice now. First time I was there w/ my boyfriend who was staying there for business (they paid). It was a nice basic room with a fridge and microwave. Shuttle service to the metro station and the airport (Dulles). Second time I stayed was almost a year later and I was paying for it myself. Room was not as nice. Had to change rooms once as the toilet wasn't functioning (it wasn't as simple as a chain being off. The water was off somehow). No fridge, nothing. For less than I paid I could have stayed at a Marriott or Hilton. Doubt I'll go back, unless with my boyfriend on a business trip.

This hotel is a great value. When we reached there in the night the location seemed bit scary, but turned out to be a very convenient location.

The rooms are OK, nothing spectacular. They have in room microwave and mini-fridge. The breakfast buffet was fabulous. It had bolied eggs, muffins, make-your-own wafl, juice, milk, coffee, breads, coffee cake, cereals and more.

The shuttle service to IAD and nearest metro station runs every 20 minutes. The staff was professional and helpful. When we had some issue with our first room, they immediately switched us into another room.

There is a nice shopping mall nearby which you can reach via shuttle, an indian restaurant is in walking distance.

The price I paid was way less than the value it offered.
I will recommend this hotel to friends.

1 day conference at the Sheraton Premier which is nearby and did not want the company to pay the $279 per night freight. Therefore, looked
hard at nearby hotels and this one was walkable. read the reviews on this site and they were not exemplary so I went in w/ a great price and low expectations.

The good:
- 12 miles from Dulles and easy to find off the Dulles Access Road.
- Near many businesses in Tysons Corner at a great rate.
- Free breakfast and the waffles and orange juice were good.
- Free parking and plenty of it in a very crowded area.
- Small but clean pool.
- Easy check in and nice man at the desk answered my questions.
- Nice maids who listened to a couple of things I needed done and responded prior to me getting back from my business day.
- Hot water for showers.

The bad:
1. Small rooms. Need major update. It is a motel rather than a hotel.
2. Small bathroom and paint and walls were very bad.
3. TV service fairly bad. Black square kept appearing on my TV and remote rarely worked.
4. Noisy air conditioner and it never really got the room cool.
5. Sub-grade sheets and blankets.
6. Tour bus stop. Breakfast one day looked like a piranha feeding frenzy.
7. safe but unfriendly area. While they have a shuttle bus that runs to the metro, you really need a car to get around. Fuddruckers is the
only walkable restaurant in the hot weather and everyone I asked said
it was so so at best so I didn't eat there.

Summary: low expectations going in w/ a good price and it lived up to these low expectations w/ a bit of shining light.
