Cell & wifi service was terrible. I had to leave the property for a video call. Bathtub stopped was completely missing. Not every outlet works (bathroom ones didn’t). We stayed two seperate nights before a flight in and out of Dulles so it was not a one time issue. I would 💯 recommend staying elsewhere as there’s a ton of better hotels for the same price.

One night stay

We needed an overnight stay as our flight date had changed and we were out in Washington with relatives who's flights were not changed. Reception staff very welcoming, room very suitable with amenities. O'Malleys for dinner was great, food and service was good.

Sad

I've had better stays. My room, 1216, and I'm assuming every room, has a sheer curtain with a useless blackout curtain that doesn't block any amount of light because whoever the genius is that installed said curtains made it where the blackout curtain doesn't extend all the way across the window, making it impossible to have a dark room. There's no railing for it. I'm not the least bit intrigued with parking lot lights, so overall, i didn't really rest here.

Half the job

The hotel itself was fine, nothing amazing but a comfortable room and a nice pool. Very frustrating on arrival though to wait 45+ in the cold for the advertised shuttle from the airport. When it hadn’t arrived 10 minutes after the scheduled time (which we were on the curb 15 minutes early for) we called, and they said we were supposed to get on the Hampton Inn shuttle and gave us attitude like we were dumb for not guessing that a shuttle with a different hotel name would go to the Holiday Inn. For an airport hotel, you kind have two jobs: decent room and an airport shuttle. 1/2.
