Fairfield Inn & Suites Potomac Mills Woodbridge

Initially, I booked this property because it was a quick in and out of Washington DC. One can be in town in 30 minutes but overnight rates are lower and the city's traffic congestion can be avoided. What I experienced last night by booking a room on the first floor of this property was: - an incredibly kind and helpful staff - a spotless room and public area - new carpeting on the first floor - a room much larger than I anticipated it would be - excellent linens and a generous supply of thick towels - immediate hot water in a lovely bathroom with great bath products - a wide variety of television channels - a breakfast buffet that offered a wide variety of items - from scrambled eggs, turkey sausage and hot waffles to oatmeal and granola with more topping options than I've ever seen offered to bagels and cold cereal - flavored creamers (what?!?) and fruit juices in the buffet area - nearby restaurants to satisfy any craving or appetite Did I see workers (who were also paying overnight guests) in the parking lot after dark? Yes, and they saw me. We nodded at one another. Could the parking lot use a repaving? Perhaps... but I wouldn't consider the property sketchy because it could be repaved, or because a construction team chose to stay here. They appeared to be at work when I arrived for breakfast at 7:45 AM. This is a fine property with incredibly hard working staff and it offers a number of (complementary) items that you won't find in hotels whose rates are double the price of this Fairfield.

We were disappointed that the pool was closed for maintenance and this was not posted on their website.

Left some to be desired Although somewhat updated, our bathroom inparticular was seemly messed up by various customers and not fixed, such as shampoo and soap off the wall, shower head that did not change modes and only shot out (as my 10 year old describes it) power washer mode, and a damaged tub with rust stains I'm the bottom. There was no soap tray or any other amenities like lotion on the sink. It was clean enough. The breakfast was fresh and upkept. Staff was nice and responsive.
