Fairfield Inn & Suites Dulles Airport

This review is not for he hotel stay but for the parking they offer!
If you are looking to travel from Dulles international and need to leave your car! Do not pay the large prices the airport requires for you to leave your car! I was going to be gone for 5 days and for only 33.00 they allowed me to keep my car on their lot. It was very easy and painless. They have a shuttle that runs every half hour that is free to take you to the airport. They even come and pick you up!
Should I ever need to leave from Dulles again I will book my car with them! Everyone from the front desk to the shuttle driver was friendly and welcoming! I highly recommend the parking :)

Gotta admit, I had my reservations after reading some of the other reviews. But for less than $ 100/​night, I found a hotel that easily matches the competition. With immaculate rooms that have been recently remodeled, I will be back! The only area needing improvement is the workout center. A cable pulley machine a a complete set of free weights would make exercising easier. But the complementary WiFi and breakfast were a good comprimise. Hats off to the great staff too!

Avoid this God forsaken hotel if you can. Awful staff. The rooms leave so much to be desired. Towels not clean. Had to ask for fresh linen and my daughter spotted bugs on the bed.

Don’t even think of doing park and ride through this place. It is cheap, I’ll give them that. They have a very small van to shuttle to the airport. It only runs every 30 min and they do NOT keep track of how many people signed up to «park and ride.» On the way to the airport, they had twice as many people signed up to be shuttled as they could handle. I had to drive my family to the airport, drive back, and then squeeze onto a shuttle a half an hour later. If I had waited to get my whole family on a shuttle, we would have missed the flight. On the way back to the hotel, even though we arrived at the scheduled time, there was again an overbooking issue. Even so, it took the shuttle (which they promise will arrive in 10 – 20 min) over 30 min to show up. Then I had to shuttle back alone and pick my own family up at the airport. If you can’t handle to volume, don’t take my money! Please figure out how many people are coming and going and when! Maybe get a bigger shuttle like most of the other park and rides?

This location gets a full five stars. The price is right. The people are exceedingly friendly. Location is great. They serve a solid breakfast. (I just wish they alternated between pork and turkey sausage.) they also have a shuttle to and from the airport, but be aware that it stops running at midnight.

Avoid if at all possible. Bathtub had pubic hair (not mine). They make you sign up for shuttle to Dulles. Said nothing about getting there early. 3 people on list for 430 am shuttle. When I got off elevator at 4:31 shuttle had left. Response to my inquiry was a shrug. Driver had not looked at list. I asked what was the point of the list and… No answer. Nonsmoking hallways smelled like smoke. Room smelled like BO awful

Renovations are complete, I’ve stayed here before and felt it was dated, but now it’s a little better, signs of life, entrance is still crazy. Walking in and a big mirror, so you see yourself. Breakfast buffet is ok very close to Dulles airport.

By far the worst park and ride encounter Ive every had. I almost missed my flight when they decided the shuttle should leave at 7:20 instead of the communicated 7:30,you would think with the money I spent they would have a hotel driver take me so i wouldn’t be late… nope didn’t occur. I had to pay a taxi 30 to take me to the airport after giving them 80 for the same service. I got in this morning and was told to get baggage and stand at a spot outside (shuttle was to come at 6) I called to confirm and instead waited outside in the cold until 6:20.Id much rather pay airport valet prices before dealing with this park and ride again.

I love Marriotts. I stay at a Marriott multiple times a month. That said… they’re doing a lot (A LOT) of construction on this hotel (December 2013) so the lobby is destroyed, no pool, no fitness center, no ice machine, it’s a mess. This may have been why we were able to book a cheap room the night we arrived. They do have a free shuttle to the airport which we were asked if we were using it when we checked in, that was nice. The room was nice and clean, so I was happy. When we went to check out, there was no one at the front desk (also under construction) and I waited around for some time. I had also called from our room to check out, and no one answered. Our check in and check out experience was not so great, but our room was nice.

This is close to the airport. They have a free shuttle. Staff are friendly. Price is cheaper than others close to airport. Room was clean. Breakfast was standard. I could hear people in next room easily but with fan running it drowned them out.
They have a small indoor pool but didn’t try it. If you use the pool be ready to be on display for everyone in the lobby.
In all it was a fine place to spend the night. It does have a tired feel but it is clean and convenient.

Easy shuttle pickup and the hotel was decent. We asked for a wake-​up call, but they forgot to call us. Good thing we had our backup alarms. Breakfast was pretty sad and their employees seemed to mope around in the dining area. Not cool PR for the place. Nothing spectacular, but comfortable and we got a decent price.

I agree with the other reviews here, but you should be aware that this Fairfield has NOT been renovated and is not one of the newer, more modern Fairfields. Furniture, carpeting, bedding, etc is all old-​school Fairfield which is pretty low-​rent compared to the newly constructed or renovated property. Know what you’re getting when you book here and it is otherwise fine. Nothing to write home about. Hotel is in the middle of a business park. The only restaurant within walking distance is a Subway.

Spent the night here as I was travelling from Denver to Kilimanjaro airport. I picked this place because: 1, it was close to the airport; 2, it didn’t cost an arm and a leg; 3, it had shuttle service to and from the airport and; 4, it had a free breakfast.
It was indeed close to the airport although you take surface streets from the airport to get there and it takes 10+ minutes. On the way back to the airport, we got on the freeway and were there in about 5 minutes.
I used Marriott points so it was «free.» As though all those Marriott points didn’t come at a cost of some sort.
Finally, the breakfast part is what really let me down. The oatmeal was awful. It was as though someone had used 10x the amount of water you are supposed to use. It was almost like thin, only slightly warmish, oat flakes soup if there is such a thing. There were no hard boiled eggs for protein like you usually find at continental breakfasts. I was very disappointed by the whole breakfast, or lack thereof, experience.
It has a bad vibe to the whole hotel. It just doesn’t feel like Fairfield quality.

Picked this hotel because it was a Marriott property close to where I was attending a training class. Didn’t think about it being right at the end of the Dulles airport runway. Fortunately, between 11pm and 6am the planes are few and far between because when they do come by, they’re flying right outside your window.
Other than that, on the plus side, the staff was very friendly and accommodating, the room was nicely appointed, the bed comfortable, and the bathroom clean. The WiFi performance was very spotty but the television actually had HD channels for its HD tv.
There were some slight complaints. The pool was only open from 5pm to 11pm so no early morning or late night swims (and it was freezing!). And while the gym opened at 5am, it also closed at 11pm. You needed a card key to get in so I have no idea why you would close the gym. Oh well. Also the breakfast offered was a bit below the standard I’ve come to expect from the Marriott chain. The scrambled eggs and sausage did not taste very good but made due each morning with an english muffin, a cup of cereal, and some coffee.
All in all, an okay experience.

Good place with close proximity to Dulles Airport. They offer free shuttle service to/​from the airport between 5 and 12 am. Rooms are spacious, clean and stocked well with linens. I did find the pillows to be a bit uncomfortable for my liking. Other amenities include Coffee, Iron, Hair Dryer, Free WiFi and Cable TV.
They do serve full continental breakfast with eggs, sausage, cereal, make your own waffles, fruits etc. Overall a great value for the price. Front desk is very accomodating with any reasonable requests from guests.

Only reason for staying here was the airport shuttle. And they couldn’t get us there in time! The shuttle was full and somehow this was our problem. front desk person julio was unhelpful. You couldn’t pay me to come here again.

Don’t stay here if you plan to leave your car here and rely on them to take you to the airport. They do not always honor reservations that you make with them, even though they confirm the reservation. You won’t find out that they overbooked until you show up at the hotel and you have to go somewhere else.
