Residence Inn Tysons Corner Mall

Update– The General Manager and I finally connected and he was conciliatory and caring. He did refund my one night stay. I have upgraded the hotel to 3 stars as a result, I am grateful for the response.

Very nice place for the price. The bathroom was a little to de desired. The door barely missed the toilet. Nice clean room, breakfast was decent but not great. Didn’t care for the pizza place that was recommended (Vocelli Pizza).

very good check in — got all settled in and AC not working… so had to move next door– the gal did the best she could. Small hotel so personal — clean and convenient I would stay there again. Showers great and the breakfast was one step better than most. Only down side was the darn pool hours were ridiculous! you need to be open more hours because DC is HOT

Residence Inn has all the comforts of home and more at a fair and reasonable price. I booked this hotel for a recent business trip to Vienna due to its location to the office, price, and amenities and couldn’t have been happier with my decision.
I arrived at the hotel about 7:30 Monday evening to be welcomed by a friendly front desk agent, who informed me that they were still serving the evening social which consisted of a build your own taco bar. This, along with the beer/​wine was a welcome surprise, especially since I just made my way to the hotel from the airport with the intention of just ordering delivery. Monday — Wednesday the hotel host The Mix, which consists of unique offerings each evening.
My room was a King Studio, which had a small kitchenette table/​desk combo, sleeper sofa and a king size bed, which was quite comfy. One of my usual complaints about hotels are the pillows, which are either to soft, too firm, or simply not enough. Much to my surprise there were five pillows, three soft and two firm, this was a perfect combination and helped with a perfect night’s sleep. The room itself was spacious, and very welcoming. My only complaint was the free internet itself was rather slow at times, and it didn’t take well to any type of streaming video.
Parking here is free, in addition to the surface spots there is also an underground garage with additional parking. However be warned the underground garage does not take you to the lobby, you will have to walk back out the entrance of the garage to enter the lobby. The hotel is a short walk to the Greensboro Metro stop, which is only about a 30 minute ride to the Smithsonian stop in DC, so getting to and from DC is quite easy from this hotel if your patient.

Clean and room is nice and got a warm welcome, but compared to Duke St Res Inn of last week for $ 40 less for bigger room, this one is just not as nice feeling rather more motel like, although it appears to be a newer place lots of rust and wear in spots, free parking and newspapers are nice, front desk staff nice.
All in all a convent location and good place.

An update on my recent stay at the Tyson’s Corners Residence Inn. The manager and front desk were genuinely concerned about my stay and the issues I had as a guest. They comped my stay and assured me they would take care of the issues brought forth. I believe they will and I am glad they seemed so concerned. Happy to keep Marriott on the list of my favorite hotels!

Although I live in the area, I had a free night for a Marriott that was about to expire, so I drove not even 10 minutes away to stay at this Residence Inn. Besides the odd layout of the front entrance, I was pretty impressed with this hotel.
I went to my room and my king bed was very comfortable with PLENTY of pillows. Even at night I had to shut the room darkening curtains because my room overlooked the outside pool area and there were a lot of patio lights, no big deal though. The thermostat was easy to adjust since I do like my room a little on the cool side. The free wi-​fi connected well and was fast. They offered Paul Mitchell shampoo and conditioner and also had lotion complimentary. I took advantage of the free bag of popcorn that is in the welcome basket with the coffee. I also used the room coffee, which tasted great (though I went to the lobby to get flavored creamer rather than use the crap in the room). The overall BEST part of this hotel room was the shower pressure! It was awesome, worth my stay away from home. I have never been to a hotel with better shower pressure.
I did partake in breakfast on Sunday morning — lots of cereals, pastries, eggs, sausage, and a make your own waffle iron station. They had a side of onions and peppers for the eggs, and they had potatoes with onions and peppers in them. If they are going to do that, they should just have the plain potatoes, in my opinion.
I was not impressed with their selection of cable tv. I don’t understand how much money a hotel can be saving by offering such a crappy selection. Part of my stay-​cation experience is cable tv, because I do not have cable at home. Very few options and some of the channels were programmed wrong, for example, it said «History Channel» but it was ALL infomercials at a time when there should have been shows. One channel is not offered by the satellite provider anymore but it was not replaced (just got a screen that said it was not offered). It was an HD tv, but a pathetic option of HD channels. So, don’t expect much from the tv.
I only ran into one staff member while there, she checked me in and she checked me out. She was very nice, as I expect from hotel staff. Overall, I was pretty impressed compared to other hotels I have been to. However, I did not look at what other amenities they may offer cause I wasn’t using them. Did they have a shuttle? What their gym looked like? Indoor pool? Etc… I was only there less than 24 hours.

Rooms are spotless and colorful.
Bed is comfy.
Exercise room features hand weights ad well as a few cardio machines.
GREAT place for multi-​day/​night stays.
Customer service art this location is excellent.
Parking garage beneath the hotel is great if its dlkcas;kldfa cold… which it gets in DC.

I am always concerned about hotels this close to DC charging a lot for parking, but this one was free (which I prefer, of course). I was looking forward to going out to a few resturants while I was here, but each time I went downstairs for the dinner to check out the Manager’s Social, it looked pretty good, so I couldn’t pass up free.

Stayed one night, Sat 30-​May-​2009. Total cost with taxes: $ 81. I was there purely for leisure, visiting a couple friends in the area briefly.
Probably I am jaded by too many hotel stays in Manhattan, but I thought the Residence Inn at Tyson’s Corner was a good deal! The room was large — full kitchen (incl full-​size fridge), lounge sofa, king-​size bed. The bed was perfectly comfortable to me. The bathroom itself (shower/​toilet) was not large, but the sink was located conveniently outside the shower/​toilet, and well-​lit. Everything was clean and well-​maintained.
Free breakfast was very good — selection of usual hot and cold items, juices, etc. There also seemed to be a small selection of nearby restaurants/​food joints, but nothing special from what I could tell (just driving by).
I had no noise problems whatsoever. Didn’t hear a peep outside the room, either from the hall or the street.
Free parking. (Beware, as some accomodations closer in to DC central require paying for parking — boo). There is shuttle service to the close-​by Tyson’s Corner mall (s), but I had my own vehicle so this was more convenient obviously. The Inn is easy to get to off of I-​495, so access is good.
Downstairs there is a small gym (mostly treadmills I think), and a guest laundry facility. As noted by Ken, there is a pool by the entrance. I did not use any of these. Nor did I try using the internet, so Lisa’s complaints about the internet access may be well-​founded, but I can’t comment myself.
I have not stayed in any other hotels in the immediate area, but at $ 80/​night this seemed like a good deal based on my booking search, and my experience in the Inn confirmed my satisfaction with the deal — was a nice place to stay.

Convenient location, but with all the hotel options around, they could do better. Room was okay, bed was a little firm but still comfortable. The room was noisy – lots of hallway noise, plus a loud vent and refrigerator. The complimentary breakfast was generous, with hot items and waffle makers. They also do an evening snack/​dinner, with free beer and wine. The staff was very friendly and attentive.
However, the kicker for me was the terrible internet access – weak/​no signal, dropping out every 2 minutes or so. The staff acted surprised, and promised to take care of it, but it was never fixed. Coworkers I spoke with have stayed at that location before and had the same problem. If I’m in DC for business, I probably need reliable internet access. Sadly, because of this, and all of the other nearby options, I probably wouldn’t stay here again.

Definitly like up the «Residence Inn» title. Great BK in the morning and very nice snack for the evening. I love the cookies, too. The location is very easy to access and less traffic than the other Courtyard at the same area.
The room is a little small and need to modify a little, but still comfort. The pool is OK and just off main entrance. Parking is free and around the building and some spot at the underground area.

My room and the hotel in general were very clean. It was nice to get a decent sized kitchen and refrigerator in a fairly large room. The workout room was a decent size as well and had a bunch of treadmills. There is also a small pool out front, but it is right on the main drag and not very private.
The parking garage is free and big, which is a premium in Tyson’s Corner.
Free wi-​fi is also available here.
All in all, a good place to stay.
