Wingate by Wyndham Springfield

I stayed for two nights in early August 2023. Room 701, w. king bed. The staff is great. They allowed me to checked in a little earlier, and their check out time is 12.00pm, not 11.00am as most of the hotels these days. That is a big deal for me, because I'm a night owl and hate wake up early. Also my flight to Washington DC arrived early in the morning. So kudos here! It seems that the management and the whole team did great job running this property. It is very dated and needs a renovation, but it is extremely well kept and very very clean. I would even say that the hotel has kinda nice appearance. Everything works. The bathroom has plenty of different towels. The bed is comfortable for a 6.0ft / 192lb guy. AC works well and located in proper corner - not near the bed (I often create a barricade because I hate AC blowing next to me - not in this case). They have a vending machine next to my room. An Ice maker also was there. The room has a coffee maker, a fridge and a safe - nice! Wi-Fi is free and works well. You don't need any password to connect - quick and easy. The area is close enough to the Washington DC if you have a car. The hotel is walking distance to Trader Joes, Whole Foods, Target and great Silver Diner which is open till 11pm. It is also close to beautiful and historic town of Alexandria which I recommend to visit. The neighborhood around the hotel looks safe enough. Their free parking is tight, but I was able to find a spot both nights. No problem here.

The facility itself was a little worn- with a very noisy air conditioner and a burning smell in my room from a lightbulb. Yet the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast was much better that what I've received at other hotels that are much more expensive. Overall a very good place to stay.

The location is not far from 95 which makes getting around for work convenient. Reception staff are always helpful. Breakfast is provided which is helpful if you’re in a rush.

I have to consistently travel to VA for work and this was surprisingly the cleanest room that I’ve stayed in since COVID. I always bring my own cleaning supplies and I was pleasantly surprised when not much came up on my Lysol wipe. Minimal dust and something peculiar on the tv screen but otherwise the room was effectively cleaned.

The location was convenient with easy access and safe parking. Breakfast was delightful, and every staff member from front desk to housekeeping and breakstaff attendees were wonderful!
