Fairfield Inn & Suites Alexandria
"4.0-rated Fairfield on Richmond Highway with candid pest and basement-room flags in recent reviews."
About The Hotel
Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Alexandria is a 4.0-rated (74 reviews) Fairfield Inn on Richmond Highway south of Old Town on the US-1 commercial strip. The amenity list includes an indoor pool and hot tub, but a 2024 review noted the hot tub was lukewarm and the pool unheated. Recent reviews carry candid flags: a roach-on-face incident (September 2025), a sticky mouse trap behind the fridge (May 2026), and multiple reports of guests being dumped into windowless basement rooms with a chemical smell. Free breakfast, free parking and Marriott loyalty are the honest draws. Set expectations before booking — this is a value-only pick with real recent condition problems.

Guest reviews
What guests are saying about Fairfield Inn & Suites Alexandria.
"This hotel was conveniently located up the street from the Jaguar Land Rover Alexandria Va Dealership. I was getting an emergency repair done to my Jaguar F-Pace SVR. The Staff was professional and welcoming. The King Suite Room I had was very clean and had a pleasant fresh smell. The bed linens was fresh and clean, the bed was very comfortable. I am very glad to have chosen this hotel. The complementary Morning Breakfast had a very decent selection of top of the morning favorites and tasted quite well. Many Thanks for a great overnight stay. I highly recommend this hotel."
