Perfect for Family of Four-homey atmosphere
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the Staybridge in McLean, VA. It was a short, easy drive from downtown maybe 15 minutes. There were all kinds of stores, shopping, restaurants right there. We arrived at 6PM check-in was fast and front desk staff were friendly and efficient. Our son mentioned it was his birthday and they brought him a piece of birthday cake right there and then! When we arrived they were having a complimentry "happy hour" which wasn't drinks! A small offering of meatball subs that night, free soda, juices, etc, salad bar, desert. The property had a very comfortable, homey feel to it. Lots of families and single couples has well. It was in the suburbs which was nice after being downtown DC all day. It has a small pool which we didn't use. Only stayed one night but would definately stay again. The suite was smaller than other suites we've stayed but definately big enough for our family of four. Our boys 11 and 13 don't like sharing a bed anymore and there was 2 dbl beds in bedroom and a pull out queen size sofa bed in livingroom. TV's in livingroom and bedroom. Sets of doors closed between living room and bedroom. There was a kitchen with microwave, coffee maker, full fridge, plates, glasses, etc. The hotel was extremely clean, updated, nicely decorated. Every detail was nice...I looked! No stains, no crumbs. Newspaper delivery in AM, and complimentary breakfast (cold cereal, muffins, bagels, even make own homemake waffels on the waffel irons, juice, coffee). They had a nice courtyard with tables and gas grills. While a little pricey ($260/night) we would stay again. We love when we are comfortable in our hotel rooms after a long day and this hotel hit the mark for us. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and had a smile. Even the guests at the hotel were friendly. It was a great stay. Thank you to Justin at the front desk for the birthday cake! We walked a block got a pizza for son #1 and to Boston Chicken dinner for rest of us. Brought to our room and enjoyed dinner in our suite. Shower/tub and toliet closed off from sink area in bedroom which was great for showering in the AM and not waking anyone. Highly recommend this property.
