Clean room, conveniently located
The hotel room was clean and comfortable. It had a futon, coffee table, bed, and fireplace. The bathroom had a jacuzzi tub, but read the sign on the wall on how to operate the shower. The exterior had some seating areas that were nice and had plants, but could have been cleaner. The hotel is jammed between a movie theatre and restaurant on either side, with a restaurant/bar in front of the hotel, so you can't see it from the street too well. The hotel is conveniently located in town, so you can walk to anywhere, although it's mostly restaurants around. This is not a B&B, and the hotel does NOT offer daily breakfast. At check-in, I received a bag with 2 water bottles, and a few breakfast bars that was it for the entire stay. The hotel is big on staying contactless, so you can't enter the lobby, you'll have to check in at the night window. They offer maid service, but you have to confirm that you are not in the room when the staff enters the room. Overall it's a good place to stay.

This is a very bare bones inn located in the heart of the town. It is walkable to bars restaurants and shops. The room was fine - bed was comfortable. However, there is no breakfast, no ice machine, no fridge, no coffee maker and no room cleaning. It is also right next to a lively bar. That didn't bother me because I sleep with a noise machine, but it could bother others. It is in the perfect location if you are attending a retreat at Spirit Rock. I would stay there again for that purpose. But now I know what to expect.

Great little inn.
Clean room, friendly staff. Did not provide continental breakfast or coffee but we did receive a goodie bag with bottles of water, breakfast bars, and cookies. Anyway there's a plethora of places to eat and get coffee within walking distance so it wasn't a problem in any way. The bathtub has water jets! We visited during warm weather and the ceiling fan and air conditioning together made our stay not only bearable but downright pleasant. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to spend time in Fairfax. It's also within walking distance of Deer Park Villa, so this is the perfect place to stay off attending a wedding there, as we did!

Dishonest and Creepy
This place doesn't actually offer breakfast fyi even though that remains listed as an amenity. I arrived and checked in without incident. I was told about the no breakfast after all thing. When my fiance and I bedded down, we ordered some Thai food and immediately recieved a phone call from the owner asking whether or not the Thai food delivery person was either a secret guest of ours or had a secret cat. That actually made me pretty uncomfortable. If you don't mind the no breakfast and being interrogated on visitors, the room was very nice and you should do fine here.

Older property that needs updating. Kept very clean but worn out. Bar next door is loud on weekend nights. Location is downtown Fairfax and walkable for everything needed.

We booked this hurriedly at the last minute due to an oversight in our planning. We were pleasantly surprised by the room with its size, layout and furnishings. Everything was very clean and the room was quite comfortable. The location is perfect with several shops and restaurants in walking distance. I would definitely stay again if in the area.

Old Hotel in a nice homey old-school town
Hotel is dated. Room is small. Light came through the windows at night. Heat and air conditioning was so-so. TV had limited channels. Next door is a great restaurant and there are 2 really good coffee shops less than 1 block away.

The bed was about 3 feet high. The room lacked adequate plug points near the bed. That said, many of the other things like the bathroom and the toiletries were high quality for this class, so I would stay again.

Nice hideaway
This hidden hotel in the heart of Fairfax is the perfect location for anyone traveling to the area. There is parking but you won't need it, as most of what you need is within walking distance. The two rooms we have stayed in are spacious and while older, there have been updates, such as the bathroom. Fireplace is out of order but it wasn't needed.
