The room and breakfast were good. The staff was friendly, although the receptionist was not very knowledgeable about the area. Our only frustration was that there was no laundry room (as listed). This was day 5 of our road trip and desperately needed to do laundry.

Comfy bed, bizarre and inconvenient layout.
The bed, mattress, and pillow were among the most comfortable. I have ever had it either in a hotel, or at home. However, the room design was bizarre. You had to turn on the bathroom light from the front entryway, which meant that the other person in bed had to experience the light. Also, the sink was on the other side of the entryway from the bathroom, which meant that person using the bathroom, at night or tomorrow I , had to greatly disturb the other person. I have stayed in mini Holiday Inn expresses, but this was a bazaar, stupid design for the restaurant, the lighting in the sink.

Four-day stay; housekeeping, never once, came to our room...On day three I asked front desk about lack of housekeeping and they said we had to notify them if we wanted room service... normally a hotel has a sign; YES or NO for housekeeping.... We had to go to desk for towels and TP..... Staff was very courteous.... Very clean...

A clean and normal place to stay
There was plenty of free parking. The air conditioning worked fine, but it is a window style unit rather than central air, so it makes some noise. The side entrance near the parking lot needs some maintenance, as it does not shut properly, which could be a security concern. The TV was really nice and big, so I watched some sports and enjoyed that. The breakfast was typical for a hotel like this. They had a one minute automatic pancake maker that was pretty cool

Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.
Very disappointing stay. Asked for extra towels, made me feel like I was planning on stealing them...I don't want your towels...fyi. Bathroom is small and there is really no place for privacy to change...unless you go into the bathroom and close the door....but then you are up against a toilet and tub/shower. I prefer not to put my clean cloths on a toilet while getting ready. Breakfast was good, but really was the only selling point of this location. While dealing with hotels.com, I was unable to check out a night earlier than we planned...we are a baseball family and our plans change based on weather/seeding/game schedule....it's super unreliable, so booking exact dates are difficult. Neither Holiday Inn Express or Hotels.com would help me with this....I paid for an extra night that we didn't even use. Buyer beware...even if you pay extra, you might not be able to get out of a reservation if plans change. Either way, I feel like this experience was NOT great and at this point I wouldn't recommend this Holiday Inn Express in Fairfax (there are a bunch of other hotels nearby...spend the extra couple of bucks for a nicer place to stay). I also feel as tho I will no longer be using hotels.com to book based on this experience. Maybe I didn't read the 'small print', but I guess I've learned my lesson and I will no longer book 3rd party due to the 'once you check in, you can't change anything about your stay' policy. Peace.

A decent motel. Room was in disrepair in a few places. Shower curtain was torn in several places and falling off, TP holder was coming off the wall, and a few other little things. Rooms were tight. Ceiling was low. I'm 5'11 and had to sit to put my shirt on because the ceiling would not allow me to extend my arms above my head. No ice on my floor. Clean beds, lots of hot water, breakfast was standard motel fair. I wouldn't not stay here again but I will certainly check out other places first. Especially at this price.
