This hotel is brand new, built from the ground up to replace a previous property, and it truly shows. Everything was incredibly clean, fresh, and thoughtfully designed. The rooms were modern, very comfortable, and well appointed, especially impressive given the very affordable price.
The staff was wonderful as well; friendly, accommodating, and welcoming throughout our stay.
One important note: the current rating appears to be based on the former hotel that used to occupy this location, which doesn’t reflect the experience at all. This new property deserves a much higher rating based on its quality and condition.
Overall, we had a great stay and would absolutely choose to stay here again.

I most appreciated the friendliness of the staff. Upon my arrival to Washington D.C., I contacted the hotel staff to coordinate pick up via the Airport shuttle. I found the staff to be particularly lovely! I would recommend this for short stays!

Our evening flught was delayed and then cancelled. We needed a place for the night. This hotel is closed to Dulles, clean and front desk staff was friendly. Beds were comfy. Only negative is no shuttle service to airport for an early flight, we had to Uber. An extra expense.

Rooms are good, staff is very friendly. I like the shuttle service to and from the airport and hotel. They can still improve breakfast options, currently the food options are very less.
