The hotel is conveniently located in busy downtown Fairfax, making it easy to walk to local attractions. However, the property feels a bit tired and could use some upgrades, particularly in the rooms, which show signs of wear. The breakfast options are minimal, and the limited parking situation may also be a concern for some. Overall, it provides decent value for the location, despite its shortcomings.

This hotel is in a convenient downtown area, making it easy to explore Fairfax. The cleanliness and simple charm of the rooms were nice, but the furnishings felt a bit worn and could use updating. The breakfast was basic but sufficient, and while parking was available, it was somewhat tight. Overall, good value for an uncomplicated stay, but not ideal if you’re looking for luxury or extensive amenities.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location is fantastic, right in downtown Fairfax and close to many restaurants, which I loved. The king suite was spacious but unfortunately, the fireplace and jacuzzi tub were not operational. While the room was clean, the amenities fell short of expectations, particularly with breakfast options and Wi-Fi reliability.

I had a pleasant stay at this cozy motel in Fairfax. The room was clean and had a homey feel, though some amenities were lacking. It’s conveniently located to walk to nearby shops, but be prepared for minimal breakfast options. Overall, it’s a decent spot for the price, though it's not quite what I'd call a traditional B&B.
