Very Pleasing Stay and a Great Value

My wife and I were visiting our daughters in the greater VA/DC area and this Inn provided us with a great staging point for our outings. The rooms are large and very clean (full kitchen!) and the beds are extremely comfortable. The bed size was a little small for us (seemed like a full size and not a true queen) but the mattress was high quality and I slept great on it despite a very bad back. There is a full, hot breakfast and they accommodated everybody despite a pretty full house. Staff was very courteous and parking is free which is a huge plus in the DC area. We will definitely stay here again.

If you get a chance, check out the great shopping at the Tysons Corner Center Mall. Huge and loaded with restaurants, stores and a great movie theater.

Great value for the price

I went with my 15 year old son. I wanted a reasonably priced place close to the Metro. The Falls Church Residence Inn Marroitt fit the bill. The one bedroom suite was great. We enjoyed having a living room area and kitchen. The complementary breakfast was very good and convenient. We enjoyed taking an evening swim at the pool. The walk to the Metro may be far for some. It is about a mile away. I would consider staying here next time I visit DC

Pleasant Place to stay

We visited Washington DC. The Metro was within a mile away and very easy to find. The breakfast could have been a little warmer and more plentiful. Every morning we went down, there was several items that were gone and they weren't too quick to refill the items. otherwise the people at the desk were very nice and helpful.

Nice hotel in a good area....

I called 6 weeks before the trip to say we wanted a hotel near the Metro so we wouldn't have to rent a car. I was told the hotel was 1 mile away with a bus running in front of the hotel. I called 3 days earlier to confirm this and was told it was several miles from the Metro. After some scrambling I ended up renting a car because we got a good rate at the hotel and it seemed just as easy. The hotel is very nice, clean, quiet. The room was like a small apartment. The hide-a-bed was just barely adequate, but we needed to use it since there were 3 of us and only one regular bed. Breakfast was quite good. Many choices, tasty and a nice dining area. I would stay there again.

Good customer service

We had lots of family in town to share in our son's baptism ceremony. We did not have enough room for everyone to sleep in the house. Very nice accommodations at the hotel!

If you are going to go to DC for something that is going to bring in a lot of people it would save you a lot of time to get your metro tickets the night before.
