Falls Church Vacation Packages

Hotel was just okay. For a non-smoking hotel, the smell of cigarette smoke was still present in the rooms and hallways. The breakfast was minimal and not what I expected given prior reviews.

Very I nice and friendly.

Everything was exceptional as usual. Staff knew our names, CUT was excellent. Downside is the pool needed cleaning/chemicals and the heater was broken. The pool is a major selling point for us so it was a bit of a let down. We will be back again but will check on the status of the pool first.

Initially, I booked from Tuesday to Thursday, but I extended my trip three times—first to Friday, then to Saturday, and finally to Sunday—because I enjoyed myself so much. The spa experience was phenomenal. I had two full-body massages and a facial. Francesca and Dewayne, the massage therapists, were amazing, and Lisan, who provided my facial, was kind and professional. Their attention to detail and ability to make me feel completely relaxed were deeply appreciated. One of the things I was most excited about was staying at a Black-owned hotel. It was important for me to support and experience that. I was genuinely impressed with the level of service and hospitality I received. That said, I did have two small hicc
