Residence Inn Fairfax/Merrifield Reviews

Great location. Rooms were clean, had kitchens in the room. Wish they also gave lotions besides shampoo and conditioner.

Great location with a convenient next-door plaza. Friendly and accommodating staff made our stay memorable.

There is no place out there as good as Marriott. Service and food is great.

We stayed 2 nights we stayed in a family room, excellent location near the National Mall, breakfast very complete, common areas and very clean rooms with very good maintenance, I recommend it with eyes closed. Eye the staff does not speak Spanish.

Few of our family members stayed here for the wedding next door. Nic and clean hotel with suite type rooms. Had a shopping center next door and in a walking distance to Mosiac.

The staff was helpful and very nice. The hotel was very clean. I would stay there again and recommend it to others.

It located near shopping mall but not walking distance. Room is spacious and clean. Staff are kind. It is nice free parking underground
Breakfast also above normal. Worth to visit

Nice breakfast, nice staff! I stayed there with a toddler and it was nice

Such a great stay!! This is the cleanest and friendliest residence inn I have stayed in to date. Everything is thoughtfully done and the place is quite cozy.

The front desk agent, Kian, when we checked in was so friendly, he came outside with us to help me park my car with a uhaul trailer attached when it was 40 degrees and raining! He then noticed we came from a long road trip and gave us extra waters and expedited the check in process. Awesome!

The complimentary breakfast buffet was great as well.

Great job!

Suzana and Robert were so amazing and accommodating! You must stay here if you are in the area and want to be treated like royalty!

Very nice atmosphere! Staff was outstanding with excellent customer service!

My stay here has been perfect so far. The breakfast is so diverse, the service is amazing and the rooms are clean and tidy. It also offers an outdoor pool and basketball court.

Reasonably priced, within easy drive to DC. Room needed some maintenance.

front desk extremely welcoming. the rooms are very clean and organized and a complimentary breakfast is always a plus

Rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great. Employees are super friendly. City views are wonderful.

Good rooms which have a nice kitchen. Ample parking with a garage. They do a couple social nights a week with food that is actually quite excellent.

The location is pretty good as there is plenty nearby and you are close to the mosaic districts. Metro isn t far and they offer shuttle service. An excellent hotel.

Nice hotel, friendly staff, loved the fireplace in the room.

Location of the hotel is very convenient and accessible to dining and shopping. Rooms are clean and appealing, bed are comfortable and the staff is friendly. Breakfast in the morning is a great start to the day!

Great price for very nice, spacious rooms with more amenities in them than expected.

Awesome!!! Convenient to restaurants and other places. Staff so excellent!!!

Thanks.

We reserved a 2 bedroom suite over a month ago for our trip to DC with our granddaughter. We arrived at 5 to check in and our room was given away to someone else! Apparently, a reservation is really not a reservation if someone arrives before you and wants the room. The gentleman at the desk was very nice but there was nothing he could do. I sincerely doubt I will ever reserve a room with a Marriott hotel again. We travel a lot and have never had this happen before. Now, someone needs to sleep on a couch when we were more than willing to pay for a comfortable, 2 bedroom suite. Since we now have 1/2 the room, we should have paid 1/2 the price but nope, they can t do that. Terrible way to treat customers.

I got to the hotel and reserved a room the same day with no issues. The room was very clean and the front desk attendant was very accommodating. Only negative is the pet fee; $100 non-refundable to allow my dog to stay with me seems a little steep.

Loved my room, quiet, nice and roomy. My view sucked but not important. Breakfast was very good as well, a lot of variety. Staff at breakfast were very kind as well!

Excellent hotel, nice rooms very neat, attention is very good and very good breakfast free.

Stayed at the Residence Inn for a family vacation. Overall a great experience. Room was very clean, comfortable. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Amenities were nice, including pool with lifeguard, ball court, secure parking, shuttle to the metro subway station. Hotel provided delicious breakfast daily. Location was within walking distance to plaza with many excellent restaurants and other shops. Highly recommend and would stay here again!

This is the best Hotel and employees including the Ritz carlton Tyson's. Clean as possible. Run very,very well. First on my list,you will never regret staying here.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Convenient location

Very clean, courteous staff. Quiet, no issues whatsoever.

It's kind of like a little slice of home close to every place you need to be.

Some of the best customer service I've ever received.

Room is nice, comes with a kitchen. The kitchen has a full fridge, stove, and dishwasher. There is a TV, sofa, computer desk and a dining table for two. Spacious enough and comfy. There's also a basketball court. The only complaint is that you can hear noise from the hallway.

Great hotel with awesome lobby(kids loved it). Very spacious. Good breakfast,new options daily

Good room and valuable breakfast.nice and enough darling area affordable carnes.

Excellent hotel and rooms. Breakfast is the weakest, they can not cope when there are enough people, utensils and food are missing.

Clean, well maintained, convenient location, good breakfast.

One of my favorites... This hotel would have received five stars if parking was still free. $5.00 per night

Rooms were good, lots of amenities. The basketball courts and bbq area was nice.

Stayed here on two occassions. Spacious and clean rooms. Staff is friendly and breakfast is good

I never knew how nice this place. The front desk gentleman on 4/16 was a complete professional. Very nice place.

Cozy hotel situated next to a strip mall. My home when I am in town.

Room is very nice, customer service was great. Five stars

Fairfax residence inn was clean and comfortable. Very quiet rooms. Didn't hear anyone else. Room had TV and full kitchen. Excellent accommodations for the money. Very good value. Will definitely stay at a Residence inn in the future.

Please do yourself a favor, don't stay here. You will regret it. Marriott was ok before but it's go downhill recently.

Pro:
- Good Location.
- Underground parking

Cons:
- Old and out dated.
- SLOWEST INTERNET ACCESS unless you paid
- Worn mattress. Your back will hurt next day
- Nasty breakfast.
- Most TV channels are not viewable.

This place is unrated IMO. They have free breakfast (waffles, eggs, bacon, DIY parfait station, cereal, bagels, chocolate croissants, and more) free parking (garage), free happy hours (food and drinks), free HIGH-SPEED internet with no restrictions on streaming services like Netflix. There's also a shopping center right next to the hotel. Depending on traffic, its only 20mins from downtown DC. They're literally just outside the beltway with easy access to 495. At $100/night that's a pretty good deal for this area if you ask me. My only complaint would be the front parking lot seems to have a lot of mosquitoes. At least when I was there in the summer.

Great place to stay hot tub wasn't working but pool was fantastic

My company books me this hotel while traveling onsite, as it is convenient in location. I have stayed at a wide range of Marriott hotels all across the U.S. (in 47 states) - so much so that I am a Lifetime Platinum Elite member. While the staff is friendly and the location is good for me, it's not the nicest hotel I have stayed at. Regardless of the room I stay in at this hotel, there is always something not up to par. Broken fixtures, uncleaned surfaces, etc. During my last stay, I was upgraded and placed in room 348 (a 2 bedroom on the end of the hotel). We did not have hot water for several days. We were told that we needed to run all water faucets for 10-20 minutes in order to get the water to turn warm/hot. Anybody with a sleeping toddler knows that this is not a smart idea at 7am while they are sleeping, not to mention this should not have to be the case. The hotel manager would not switch us rooms, but offered us another 1 bedroom room to use the shower in if we wanted, which was at the other end of the hotel. While this was a nice gesture, it was inconvenient for us. Also, for some odd reason, Fox News was the only channel that constantly had no audio, while all other channels did. I can't explain that one, but it was weird. The pics are just a few of the issues from my last stay (on top of the hot water issue).

Stayed in a single room that had recently been renovated. Just stayed one night and enjoyed the full American breakfast the next morning. Pretty good bagels, decent sausage, too. Excellent friendly staff. Would definitely recommend a stay at this location.

It is a great place, very familiar. Excellent attention from all the staff, the areas are always impeccable. It has a computer area, meeting room, varied breakfasts, excellent rates, swimming pool, whirlpool spa (jacuzzi), meal days in the afternoons (Monday to Wednesday) free WIFI, Fitness area and kitchens, dishwashers and basic utensils in each room . Around the area there are various stores such as Target, MetroPCS, ATM, Banks, etc. I loved it, one of my favorite places, second visit and every day it improves!

It is a wonderful place, very familiar. Excellent attention from all staff, the areas are always spotless.

Room could have been cleaner. Had garbage on top of the refrigerator from previous guests, and some gish on the bathroom door. Staff was frendly and helpful, though.

Clean, comfortable room. Friendly front desk staff.

Friendly staff, comfortable room, with decent rates for the area. The events that they hold every mon-wed night are always nice to check out.

Nicer chain of extended stays, but not as cheap as TownePlace Suites. The location is great though.

This place is currently being renovated. I do not believe we were in a renovated room. The room had what we needed and bed was clean. Location has walking or driving access to an Aldi, CVS, Starbucks, and several other small retail and restaurant places.

Simply a beautiful place! I love it, clean, nice, you can rest without problem, the internet very good! I loved it!

Good location, comfortable hotel, right next to shopping center with groceries, starbucks, CVS, and several good restaurants.

The water in the shower took a couple of minutes to warm up despite being turned to the hottest setting; and it only reached a barely usable temperature as it was still quite cold.

Very nice lobby, great breakfast spread. Central location, nice and quiet. Very comfortable bed. Only knock was that we couldn't get the TV remote in our room to work.

Great room, very spacious, comfortable beds and a wonderful breakfast with very friendly staff.

We stayed here for 3 nights. The hotel needs updating. We stayed on the 4th floor in a two bedroom unit. The locks on the bathroom do not lock and one of the bathroom doors did not stay closed. The hallways on the 4th floor is like a sauna. After spending days in 90 degree heat you don t expect the hallways of the hotel to be hot as well. My son slept on the pull out sofa. He said the mattress looked like a one night stand mattress as there was a yellow stain on the mattress. On our third night, the air conditioner was not working. We went to the front desk, we were told the engineer had just left for the night. They did send up a maid, who couldn t figure out why it wasn t working. The maid kept telling us she would check on us, but never came back. We did eventually get it to work through the night, but was hot once again in the morning. Breakfast was ok. Waffles, sausage and dry eggs. Typical hotel breakfast. It was close to Dunn Loring Metro which was a plus!
