Rodeway Inn Fairfax

The most basic of basic, my first thought when walking in was, "Well, this is disappointing." Staff and management made me feel as if I was an huge imposition, I hate to sound over dramatic but if I could give the employees a negative rating, I really would. The walls are paper thin, I could hear my neighbor's phone conversations. Has some decent eateries within walking distance, but you may have to cross an extremely busy street and even the nearest crosswalk is a few blocks away. The shower, while small... was great, especially if you're a fan of really high water pressure.

Was visiting a friend in Annandale for a couple of days and just needed an inexpensive place to crash at night. Had previously stayed at a hotel in Alexandria of comparable price that was not at all good so was very pleased at the cleanliness of the room and the friendliness of the staff. The good, solid wifi signal in the room was a definite bonus. Don't expect the Ritz - there was no fridge, coffee maker, hairdryer, or ironing board in my room but it was neat & clean and came at a good price as compared to other hotels in the area. I would certainly stay there on my next visit.
