This hotel is still one of the nicer Hampton Inns in the DC area. The decor is the older style, which I prefer. I booked a suite, which was quite large. The sink was outside the toilet/show area, making it easy for two people to get ready at the same time. The room was spotless, bedding was quite comfortable, and I had a great night's sleep. The king suite has plenty of room to spread out -- large bed, sleeper sofa, desk, and chair. It also had a microwave and mini-fridge so I could bring in food and reheat it. The pool area and hot tub is small but also spotless. The pool isn't large enough to swim laps, but still enough space to relax. The fitness room looked nice but I didn't take advantage of that amenity. Breakfast was better than many Hampton Inns. This morning there were eggs, potatoes, sausage, as well as the usual waffle maker, hot and cold cereals, breads, and fruit/yogurt. Hotel staff was constantly replenishing it. The eggs tasted great, not like the obviously powdered ones I recently had at another hotel. The front desk agent was great; I wish I'd remembered his name so I could call him out. I arrived shortly after checkin time and my room wasn't ready. The front desk agent offered to give me a different room type if I didn't want to wait, but I was set on having a suite so I waited. After a short time he contacted housekeeping again (I think to speed them up) and my room was then ready. The front desk provides a list of restaurants, noting which are within walking distance and which are a short drive away. There's plenty of variety in dining options. There's a shuttle to Dulles Airport but I didn't use it as I drove. Not sure if the shuttle also takes you to the Metro.
