I loved the central location, the super friendly staff, and the comfortable rooms, which were immaculately clean. I especially appreciated that there were working tables in the lobby (I know, they are there for breakfast, but they allow guests to get out of their rooms and sit in a larger room!). The free coffee was an added plus. The hotel is about .6 miles from I-66 and while places like Arlington and Washington DC are about a 30 minute drive away, the reasonable cost of the hotel more than makes up for the distance. There are also many food places within a mile of the hotel and one can even walk to some of them. We had a cat with us and the hotel accommodated us requesting only a $50 pet fee. Finally, the cost of parking in a safe garage was very low. That was a pleasant surprise. Overall, I will stay at the Springhill Suites in Fairfax every time I visit. We had a very positive experience.
