Top George Mason University Hotel Reviews

Best Western Fairfax

8/10 Good

"Nice spot, clean, quiet, not too busy during our stay. The pool was nice and it goes up to 8ft. The gym was disappointing because a lot of the machines were down. They don't give enough towels and washcloths. The breakfast was good. You have to walk 5 to 10 minutes to get to stores and restaurants. There is nothing near the hotel property. The walk is not bad. Parking was great and free. The rooms smell old like an attic. Overall not bad"

Sonesta ES Suites Fairfax Fair Lakes

10/10 Excellent

"It turned out to be a great value for me. However, and thinking about it, I realized that the broken third floor elevator probably figured into the good rate for this particular room. Nevertheless, it was a very nice place with a lot of good amenities for me because I travel with food that I need to heat up and think of that nature. The staff was a little slow and getting to people at the front desk I noticed. There was a bit of a wait for the most part this morning when I went to check out the guy was on the phone got off the phone and then that rang again and he got back on the phone! So I’m standing there waiting to check out."

Hilton Garden Inn Fairfax

8/10 Good

"Decent stay, comfortable and convenient to shopping in the area."

Archer Hotel Falls Church

10/10 Excellent

"The free breakfast was actually delicious with nice, fresh options. The staff was accommodating as we extended our stay and needed plumbing services. They were fast and efficient. Also has secured parking right next to the hotel. Location was great, right in a plaza with amazing stores- Blue Mercury, Anthropologie, Target- and restaurants. Also near several highways- close to DC, Tyson corner Mall, etc… would recommend to everyone"

Residence Inn By Marriott Fairfax Merrifield

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place. I did not like having to pay $15 a night to park."
