This older design is due for some serious updating! To get to my room, I had to drag my luggage and self up the stairs then down again. By myself. Best Western does not help single women traveling alone with their luggage. An elevator would have helped. Their is no E-key access into the building at night, either. You have to walk around the side and through the parking lot alone in the dark.

I would recommend this hotel for business travel or for families that may need to be in this area. The hotel rooms were exceptionally clean and nice. Everything in the room worked and the hot water was actually hot. Enough room to maneuver around and not necessarily is in the other person&rsquo;s way. It was a very good decision to make reservations with this hotel.

Positives: Good location for the place we were going and easy to access/find.

Negatives: NA.

I stayed at 2 hotels within 3 days, this review is for the Best Western I stayed at on the night of the 21st of May. Got in late (12:30am), was very tired, there was a roach scurrying around towards my 5 yr old.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Room smelled bad, roaches in the room.

Negatives: Walls too thin.

You can't beat the economy at the Best Western Fairfax, and the friendly staff are always happy to accommodate your needs. The beds are comfortable and large, the pool is lovely, and there is a mini-fridge in each room. The biggest complaint I have about the hotel is that driving to it is quite a challenge. It's located near a main route, but the entrance is one street over, and exiting back to the main route involves cutting through traffic, going through one light, and quickly deciding where to turn at the second light which is only 50 feet (16 meters) away. So assuming you don't get into an accident pulling into or out of the hotel, the room is adequate, though a little shabby. Parking is convenient and spaces plentiful. The distance to the university is not far at all, but one definitely would need to drive or ride a bike to anywhere of interest.

Positives: Very polite staff available even at 1:00 am.

Negatives: Stain on sheets, torn window dressings, dingy (yet clean) looking bathroom.

I found it very nice stay at this one, would like to stay at one this nice all the time.

Positives: It was clean and had everything I needed.

Negatives: Had to walk a long way to my room.

Clean, upscale accommodations with large room geared to the business traveler. Extra charges for some items that should be included at this price level (Wi-Fi). Convenient to stores, restaurants and I66. Safe location. Walls between rooms could use more soundproofing (for those that are light sleepers). Overall a nice place to stay.

Positives: Large room with desk and sofa.

Negatives: Extra charge for internet; front desk staff not too helpful, noise through the walls of room; covered parking would be nice.

This is a good quality hotel for business travelers looking for a reasonable price in an expensive location.

Positives: Convenient to my work location, comfortable and reasonably priced.

Negatives: Restaurant leaves something to be desired.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 26 Dec 2007 rated 7 out of 10.

Good hotel management shaky.

Positives: Quality.

Negatives: I gave my credit card for additional expenses and they would not give me written confirmation that I had a zero balance.

Positives: The location to commercial traffic was excellent.

Negatives: The room seemed a little dingy.

Older property, impeccably maintained, pleasantly decorated, safe, and family friendly. Good for business travelers (assuming a car), with wireless internet access and a small but sufficient exercise room. Outdoor corridors are a nuisance. Large outdoor pool opens in summer months. On site restaurant offers an adequate hot breakfast buffet at a surprisingly low price, but better options are available nearby for lunch and dinner. Located two miles from the Vienna Fairfax metro station.

Positives: Relative proximity to metro.

Negatives: Outdoor corridors.

Close to the cue line for easy access to the metro. Pleasant grounds, helpful staff, good sized room.

Positives: Helpful staff.

Negatives: Not very attractive.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 01 Jul 2007 rated 10 out of 10.

Every room has a mini-fridge and microwave (so no need to make special requests). The bus to the metro was right there at the hotel, or you could make the short drive to the metro yourself. Nice pool, secluded. Wireless internet. When I stayed there, the lounge was not yet open for business because they were still trying to obtain a liquor license.

Positives: Easy access to public transportation into D.C.

Negatives: The lounge was closed due to lack of liquor license.

The hotel seemed nice. Was clean and quiet, but they need a shuttle to the metro. We took a bus, that took 30 to 45 minutes when the hotel advertises 3 miles to the metro. Breakfast was very poor, looks like husband and wife team, who probably do not have green cards to be in this country. We were very disappointed with the breakfast buffet! The morning we left, I took a tick off my husbands back. It had not been on long. It's not fair to guess where it came from, but we were concerned it may have been from our room, leaving us with an uncomfortable feeling.

Positives: Pleasant staff, clean and quiet rooms.

Negatives: Location, had to take bus or taxi to metro.

Room was spacious and clean. Grounds were well maintained, felt safe. Didn't have a chance to try the restaurant but it appeared to be clean with good pricing.

Positives: Peace and quiet.

Negatives: Non smoking was not available.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 02 Apr 2007 rated 5 out of 10.

The people were nice and the hotel was conveniently located for our purposes (looking at George mason unit.), but not many restaurants close by or hard to find. The worse part was the bed sheets did not feel clean and whenever someone talked outside it was like they were in our room.

Positives: It was less expensive than the other hotels in the area. It was close to George mason unit. Where we were going to visit.

Negatives: It was not very clean. I felt like I was being bitten in the bed all night. The noise from the hallways outside was extremely loud.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 04 Mar 2007 rated 10 out of 10.

I would be glad to stay here again.

Positives: Very convenient location, restaurants nearby. Very courteous and helpful staff.

Negatives: Nothing to say in this category.
