Hotels near Fort Belvoir, VA

“This hotel offers a perfect home away from home feeling with its spacious suites and fully equipped kitchens. I love the clever layout of the rooms because it gives you plenty of space to work or relax during a longer stay. The common areas are bright and welcoming which makes the social hours and morning breakfast feel like a natural part of your routine. It is a fantastic choice for a comfortable and stress free stay where you have all the conveniences of an apartment paired with great hospitality.”

“The best things about this hotel is it's price, free breakfast, beautiful trees and park-like surroundings, and the staff.

Service animals are allowed. They have a standard Holiday inn Express IHG breakfast with a pancake machine, pre-made omelettes, and they're excellent cinnamon rolls among other things.

It's at a remote, somewhat isolated location even on the military base, Fort Belvoir, Virginia, makes it an extremely peaceful area far away from any traffic. Since it is on a military base, it has more limited access to the metro, but it does have a regional bus going on the base. It can get you to the metro; however, having a car is the best method of transport even if you drive directly to Franconia-Springfield Metro parking.

The rooms are very large, but dated looking. If you don't care about the dated appearance, it's a very quiet, clean, and well-kept facility.”

“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.”

“I love Westin properties because they have such comfortable beds. This hotel is very nicely appointed. They have a great breakfast in the cafe (although no buffet). My room was very clean. The reason for the 4 stars is that the hallway and my room smelled of mildew. They sprayed a ton of deodorizer to mask the odor.”

“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.”

“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!!”

“For quick night away this hotel checked all the boxes. Close to great restaurants, all within walking distance. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was an event on site but it didn’t impact our stay in fact it added energy to the evening. The Study Bar was a great place to end the evening with craft made cocktails.”

“BW plus Richmond Hwy has a beautiful building in a shopping area. McDonald's next door. Art Massage next to that, and many restaurants there's even a bbq courtyard out back of BW Plus. Hotel is clean and comfortable. Best I can find for the cost. Hot and cold choices for breakfast in a huge cafeteria. Relax in a padded booth, eat your delicious free breakfast and watch local news.... knowing how close you are to DC. Bus stops heading to either Franconia-Springfield or Huntington metro stations are right out front too. When I come back, I may rent a car because parking is free too.”

“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!

“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.”

“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.

“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.”

“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.”

“We had an excellent experience at the Harborside Hotel venue space. The facility was spacious, clean, and conveniently located, making it the perfect setting for our event. The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the entire planning process and event day.

The banquet food was delicious and well-received by our guests. A special thank you to Suelyne, Natasha and their team for being so accommodating, responsive, and easy to work with. Their attention to detail and willingness to assist with our needs helped make our event a success.

We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful event space with outstanding customer service.”

“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.”

“The staff is amazing here. Very fast response times, friendly and just an overall great experience. Quiet and close to shopping area. Transit is close by as well. I recommend this place to everyone. 10 out of 10”

“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.”

“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.”

“A great place to stay. The hotel is very well located. The staff is amazing. I must thank Juliana. She made sure my stay was wonderful. Her service and customer care are 5-star. I wish I could find someone like her at every hotel I go to. I hope to return soon. They make you feel right at home there.”

“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.”

“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!!!!
Second, seems as tho all the staff have been trained to accommodate their guests to the best of IHG policy!!
