Hotels near Fort Belvoir, VA

“Phenomenal hotel. I was here for a month long TDY and was very thankful to be in such a great place. Rooms were large and clean, staff was so kind, breakfast was good, location convenient. Would stay again!”

“The front desk staff is always so helpful and tries really hard to accommodate. I had a reservation through official orders and it didn’t show up and they really tried to make it work. The lodging itself is fine it’s nothing luxurious but the location is convenient. Laundry is free and the breakfast is great.”

“Did not stay here. Jusy went for the casino. Drinks were on very good and the environment was very nice. There were many attractions from restaurants, bars and theaters to enjoy live shows. Definotely worth a visit when you come in town.”

“Tucked off of King Street with a nice quiet courtyard you find this modern boutique hotel. Interior is all new, clean and very well maintained. Staff were exceptionally welcoming, helpful, and happily accommodated my requests. Great breakfast restaurant off the lobby. Room was large and well furnished. Overall great hotel !!!!”

“We booked this hotel for a weekend getaway where we could truly relax, unwind, and enjoy some quality time together. We checked in later in the evening, and right away we were impressed by how large and beautiful the hotel was.
We parked in front of the hotel to check in and unload our luggage. I was a bit surprised to learn there was a $400 incidental hold placed on my account, as I’m more accustomed to a $100 hold. However, since we’re not wild guests, I wasn’t too concerned. Parking was $36.92 per day, and while the garage was conveniently located directly under the hotel, I do feel that hotel guests shouldn’t be charged that much. If the parking belongs to the hotel, it should be complimentary, or at least offered at a discounted guest rate. We were given drink tickets upon check-in, but we didn’t get around to using them.
Once we entered our room, I took photos and videos and was honestly shocked by the number of visible damages. I immediately called the front desk and was asked to come down and show them the photos. The staff seemed genuinely surprised and explained that housekeeping is supposed to report all damages to management. If these issues weren’t previously reported, I can’t fault management for that. Later that evening, management called our room to apologize and offered to move us to another room. We declined since we loved the corner room and had already settled in. They kindly offered a discount on our first night, which we appreciated.
The hotel is in a great location, right across the street from the train station and about 2 miles from charming Old Town Alexandria. On warmer days, it would be an easy and enjoyable walk. Since it was very cold during our stay, the hotel guests took advantage of the free trolley service, which was a nice bonus.
Breakfast was far from the typical hotel breakfast. There was something for everyone. We enjoyed freshly made omelets, toast, fresh fruit, orange juice, and coffee. The breakfast staff were very kind and friendly, and the hotel overall was very clean and well-maintained.
I did deduct one star because, considering the nightly rate, parking should be free or no more than $15 per day.
Overall, we had a great stay with comfortable night’s rest and delicious breakfast. We didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant this time, but we definitely will on our next visit. We plan on returning again soon.
Ps. This is a pet friendly hotel which was another bonus.”

“Update After Checkout:

Though I stand by my various areas for improvement, I’m updating my review from 2-stars to 4 for a few reasons:

1) our stay improved after that first day, including having the internet working flawlessly the last two days of our stay.

2) our room, and the hotel overall, were actually very nice (though the lack of attention to the various details I highlight below still were surprising for a property of this quality).

3) the front desk manager Adam went out of his way to make up for the various issues we were having and ensured our stay improved after those first 36 hours. His responsiveness to our concerns made a big difference.

Original review: This supposed 4-star property isn’t yet ready for prime time. I’m staying here now and we’ve had a terrible experience, despite staying in one of the nicest rooms available (a one bedroom suite on the top floor).

Where to begin…perhaps with the internet that has maybe worked 2 hours out of our 36 here so far. Or how about the bait-and-switch “Autumn special” that included breakfast when we booked, but failed to mention that the restaurant isn’t yet open for breakfast so what’s included is coffee and a croissant at the coffee shop off the lobby. Add that to the terrible tv interface in the rooms that claims to allow casting from your favorite streaming service but doesn’t work, no towels or cups for water in the gym, no place to get ice or fill water bottles on the floor, only one towel hook in our enormous bathroom, meaning one of us has to leave our wet towel draped over a chair in the room, etc., and you get a hotel that looks nice, but fails at so many important details that makes a good hotel stay. Oh, and the hotel is far away from the sites and action in Alexandria. Won’t be staying here again and will be asking for a refund for our special “breakfast” package so we can use that money on a real breakfast elsewhere.”

“Great location. Within a block of a metro station. Rooms are nice. Staff is friendly and helpful. They deal with problems promptly. Nice exercise room. Only downside is this is a timeshare facility. They're very insistent you attend a sales meeting. Be prepared and tell them no.”

“For the most part the staff was good. The folks on the concierge counter was not as helpful and the staff did not listen to what the guest was saying. But they were always nice and polite.”

“This was a great hotel. It was very clean and the service was great. The guy at the front desk was so polite and very informative. The room and bathroom were clean, and very spacious. Also very quiet. The breakfast was okay. It's also very convenient to fast food, stores, and about 15 minutes to the Franconia-Springfield Metro. I would definitely stay here again.”

“Gaylord International Hotels are one of the most amazing places I've ever stayed!! The atmosphere is breathtaking and the service, amenities, dining, spa, and rooms are absolutely spectacular!! I highly recommend this resort at any of their locations. I promise you will not be disappointed!!”

“I had issues with my room it was dirty and there was thermostat issues. However, the pillows were amazing and lofty and the bed was very comfortable. The laughing hyena lady working at the front desk was super annoying.”

“I recently went to the Harborside Hotel in Oxon Hill, Maryland, to attend a class that utilized the hotel's conference room. The conference room was located in the basement, and while it wasn’t the most glamorous setting, it was functional and well-equipped for our needs. The space was comfortable for a day-long seminar, and the environment was quiet and conducive to learning.

The bathrooms throughout the hotel were impressively clean, which I always appreciate. It's clear that the hotel prioritizes cleanliness. I can’t speak too much on the rooms as I did not stay in any room. Additionally, there were vending machines conveniently located near the conference area, which was great for quick snacks or drinks throughout the day.

Parking was a breeze with plenty of space available in the back lot, making it easy to get in and out of the hotel without hassle. The hotel overall has a no-frills straightforward approach, but it provides all the necessary amenities for a good seminar for business trips or events. While not an extravagant venue, the Harborside Hotel is reliable for those seeking convenience and practicality for meetings or classes. I would recommend it for anyone attending events in the area.

Nearby activities: Top golf

Walkability: Very walkable

Food and drinks: Plenty restaurant chains nearby”

The views are beautiful, the facilities are well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Whether you want to enjoy quality time together, explore nature, or simply unwind, this place offers everything you need for a memorable family trip.

Highly recommended for anyone planning a comfortable and enjoyable family vacation!”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about the staff at this Marriott. After accidentally leaving my purse behind, their team went above and beyond to help me during what could have been a very stressful situation.

Andrea is an absolute star—she was the one who spotted my purse at the breakfast table and immediately secured it. Her honesty and attention to detail truly reflect the integrity of this property. Sara, Lori, and Sharon were incredibly patient and kind, even as I called almost daily trying to track things down. When we realized UPS was the delay, they stayed on top of it until it finally arrived—and I now have my pocketbook back!

My husband is a Lifetime Platinum Marriott member, and experiences like this are exactly why we remain loyal to the brand. This team turned a potential nightmare into a reminder of what exceptional hospitality looks like.

Thank you all again—especially Andrea!

“Status recognition was a really nice surprise and definitely made my stay more enjoyable. Virginia’s service stood out in the best way, she was warm, friendly, and professional, and made everything feel genuinely welcoming. The airport shuttle running every 20 minutes was also very convenient and easy to use.”

“The rooms are very nice. I did not like that there are no ventilation fans in the bathroom. So foggy after showers. Also ridiculous that there's no complimentary breakfast at the rates you pay. The trademark restaurant was fantastic. Had the fish and chips and the burger. Delicious. The siracha salmon salad was very goodWalkability: There are stores nearby”

“We did a one night stay with the getaway package for pets.
The hosts greeted us and made us feel welcomed to stay here. Checking was very easy. The room was clean and plenty of hot water.
Our 2 large huskies greeted the front of desk crew every time we walked by and they ended up saying hello to them everytime.
Breakfast was plentiful with a full array of food and coffee.
It is located right off the highway and there are plenty of restaurants to enjoy a walk to.
This hotel is def large dog friendly and we appreciate that and would stay again without hesitation.

“My choice for my Staycation. Perfect location in regards to several tourist attractions in the Mount Vernon Virginia area. My room was comfortable and very clean. This hotel has been remodeled and it shows. It's beautiful. Hotel was peaceful and quiet. I slept soundly. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The Peloton bike was a great add on. Breakfast was hot and delicious with several choices. Great stay.”

“This was one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in. I was here for business travel and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The hotel staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. I had a few issues with my room that was immediately taken care of, and I was compensated for my troubles. They made any wrong, right.
The food as Santé was phenomenal. The salmon was cooked to PERFECTION.
This hotel is a must stay.”

“Hotel was nice. Service was good.
Location is right beside an above ground metro stop, and woke me up regularly all night long from the loud squeaking and noise. The hotel info doesn't mention this, but they do put foam ear plugs on your night stand, so they are aware of this issue.”

“Great room and a GREAT location for our journey. Very close to the metro so you can easily get anywhere the metro goes! Close to Regan airport with a free hotel shuttle. Nice long tunnel to get to metro if the weather is not pleasant for walking outdoors. We were there with some construction activities so it was a little bit of a hassle walking in and out, but nothing major. Will definitely stay at this location again.

Rooms: Nice typical rooms

Nearby activities: Food, shopping, metro

Safety: Very safe area, no riff raff

Walkability: Easy walk to metro and nearby food places

Food and drinks: Close to food and drink. Did not have any food or drink in hotel as construction has things closed.”

“Naginder Thapa The manager was absolutely fantastic, very professional, understanding, patient, kind. I watched him help others with their issues and then he helped me with mine. He takes his time to make sure everything is right one of the Best managers I have ever experienced.”

“Excellent location! One block away from King Street - you can't really go wrong if you're interested in Old Towne Alexandria. It's in pretty convenient driving distance anywhere else. The room was nice and quiet. I had an upper floor corner room with a queen bed. It was all I needed, so no big deal, but it was a little small. The bar downstairs was great. You've got to try one of the signature cocktails! The staff was friendly and accommodating for the most part. There is no on-site gym, which was a bummer for me. They do offer access to Snap Fitness on King Street - about 4 blocks away.”

“Came from a competing extended hotel chain and have had a much better experience here. The staff is great! Very friendly and willing to help wherever they can. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.”

“The management of this establishment has a great deal of which to be proud. Staff can have a make or break impact on the guest experience. Every person I encountered in my stay was professional, polite and attentive.

The facility/rooms are clean, well maintained and equipped with good quality personal care products/in room coffee.

The added touch of complimentary happy hour was unexpected and appreciated.

The true brilliance in all of this is that it demonstrates quality can be delivered at an affordable price to working class guests. We all deserve to be treated with respect and dignity - not just the billionaire class who would probably snicker at my 5 star review. It isn’t a luxe experience- it is a warm comfortable experience with quality people who care.”

“Very nice hotel and rooms. Staff were pleasant and efficient. Its a bit of a hike to the Metro station but they do offer a shuttle every half hour. If you can, get a room on the opposite side of Reagan. Viewing the airport is nice, but noisy.”

“wonderful place and amazing service from carmen, everything was clean and perfect for our stay. She made the experience the best!!

Walkability: Walking to the Wilson bridge was a nice experience.”

“We had a large group staying here for an event in DC and the staff (especially Harry) went above and beyond to accommodate us, even with last minute time changes for meals, etc.”

“The third party i used to book my stay missed some information. Ashley and Andika were very helpful and courteous in accommodating me to find a solution, which they did. Great customer service.”

“First off, I must say Mr. Mandel has gone out of his way to make our stay the best !! Thank you Sir!! We appreciate you Mr. Mandel more than you know!!!!
