TLDR: Stayed here a few times and I've got no major complaints. Occasional dirty utensil is all I can ever really find "wrong" when staying here but I also dont go looking. Well priced and consistent.
Full review of my stay:
Staff: My main interactions were with a gentleman named Essam. Super nice guy and helped me out when I walked outside after checking out only to get information that required me to turn right back around and check back in. He had it squared away in less than 5 min and I was right back in a room. Obviously your milage may vary in that specific situation as I assume it depends on availability.
Room: this place in consistent. Nothing crazy over the top about the rooms. They're what you'd expect for the price point regarding accomations. Room was clean and had everything I needed but a few pieces of silverware were put away dirty. Not a world ending issuefor me. I Just washed it and kept going about my day but I can see where someone would probably not appreciate that and complain.
This is quickly becoming my go-to place when I need to stay in the area.

This place has the best staff, and they are consistent. You can tell when the courtesy is genuine, and that's what I have gotten. Victor at the front desk is professional, and always fun to talk with during check in.

I spent two weeks here and would recommend it overall. Pros: decent size room, adequate kitchenette with essential supplies and large refrigerator, good fitness center, complimentary coffee, free laundry, free parking, easy access to the Dulles toll road, very friendly staff. Cons: AC unit was loud and left a bad smell in the room, wifi was slow at times, office chair was very uncomfortable, toilet clogged easily, room was a bit dark, and hotel overall is a bit worn. I usually stay in higher end hotels, but considering the length of my stay, I didn't want to pay $250 a night. This hotel isn't luxurious, but it's a good value.
