The Courtyard by Marriott Dunn Loring Fairfax is in a great location, next to several restaurants, a supermarket, and a train station. I was able to stay here for three nights; it was extremely comfortable and relaxing, and the staff was more than accommodating with my room requests, even during graduation. If you want to secure a place for family visits or graduation purposes, this might be a good option near George Mason University. Also, even though housekeeping may not happen or might be delayed, being on the highest floor helped me sleep comfortably without any street noise at night. Overall, it is a decent hotel that delivers, and I would recommend that you book way in advance to secure the best rate possible before it increases dramatically close to special events, especially graduation.

We stayed here after a show at Wolf Trap. Was a reasonable distance from venue and easy to get there and back. Hotel was quiet. Beds were comfortable. Everything was clean. Rooms were spacious. The only thing I didn't like was that you had to pay for parking and the parking garage was tiny, very tight spaces. A nice Courtyard hotel though.

We enjoyed our five-night stay at the Marriott Courtyard hotel. The staff was very friendly. The neighborhood felt safe. The hotel is located close to a Metro station, and close to a variety of nice restaurants. We had one meal at The Bistro in the hotel lobby, but I'd recommend eating at the close-by restaurants instead. The room was clean and comfortable. Parking is available in their parking garage under the hotel, but costs $15/night.

Check‑in was smooth, and the front desk manager was helpful. We were told the $15 parking fee would be waived, but it still appeared on our final invoice. The room itself was good, though there was noticeable street noise even on the 10th floor. A room on the opposite side of the hotel might be quieter.The bathroom door wouldn’t stay open and squeaked loudly, and the bed was a bit lumpy. There was also no way to make hot water in the room or in the lobby. Overall, it was an acceptable stay, but with several inconveniences.

Not easy to access hotel. You park underneath. I did not see a sign. Found the elevator on the G1 parking level and just assumed it would take me to the lobby. No signs again. Eventually ran into lobby and checked in. They told me there would be a $15 fee to park. It just went up from $10. I was unaware of an extra parking fee and avoid hotels that nickel and dime you. Breakfast is NOT included, either. One of the hand towels had a long hair on it. This is a substandard Marriott. After bringing this to their attention, and requesting a room adjustment, they refused. Will not stay here again. There are much better hotels.
