Its very rare to come across a stay that you gan give 5 stars all across the board. I should say that this stay was one of the best i had. The rooms were good, the price was good, the cleanliness, food and staff was good. The property is in a very safe place. I saw people with pets, though i didnt bring mybpet this time. Would recommend this one.

This hotel located in a very nice area, however the management team could keep up with cleaning a little more. The restrooms at the front desk area are very dirty and the hallway in all buildings need to be vacumm daily.

This is a great place if in town with family. The full kitchen helps and the breakfast in the morning is a hit for the kids. The place is located near a ton of food and shopping, and GMU so there is always something nearby in case you need something or want something to do. Only issues we noticed - it seemed like they were short staffed. Took 20min to get someone to the counter when checking in (8pm) and our room had cigarette burn holes on the carpet right in the main living room area, when it’s clearly a no-smoking facility.

Thank you so much! We are so happy to hear that you and your family were able to have a worry-free vacation and enjoy yourselves at our hotel!Your check in experience is very important to us because we want you to feel very welcome here. At times we are called away from our Front Desk post to assist a guest in another building with amenities when they are not able to come to the front desk themselves. Are protocol is to up a sign up letting all know that we will be right back. Your comments indicate that we still have further Front Desk training work to do.Thank you again for letting us know, and we look forward to having you back again! Sincerely,Sonesta Team

Our stay was great the two bedroom suite was perfect for my family. Lots of places to eat and shop close by. Breakfast was good. Love the automatic pancake machine. The only complaint would be that the sofa was a little sunken in, possibly worn out in the middle and not the most comfortable. Probably a commercial grade pull out bed, so understandable. We didn’t take advantage of the kitchen in the room as we only stayed 2 nights but could definitely see cooking uncomplicated meals in there on a longer stay.

Thank you for choosing the Sonesta ES Suites Fairfax for your recent stay. I am happy to hear you enjoyed the spaciousness and convenience of our 2 bedroom suite for your family. Thank you for the feedback regarding the sofa bed - generally they are in good condition as they were all replaced only 3 years ago; but we will take a look at the one in your room and evaluate the need to possibly replace sooner. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Sincerely,
