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.

Rooms were super nice, check-in staff was great, and the breakfast was really tasty. Definite proof of clean rooms.

The front desk staff has improved in their customer service that makes your stay all worthwhile. I like the fact that you have such a great view of Springfield Town Center, and the convenience is definitely a plus!

Great location. Easy access to the Blue Line (about 30 minutes into central DC). Also located across the street from the Springfield Mall. Spent our evening at the mall before heading into DC the next day. The area around the hotel felt safe and the mall was great!! Breakfast was good and above average for a similar hotel. They had eggs, bacon, and sausage in addition to waffles and a variety of other items. Great price also compared to hotels in the Tyson's Corner and Arlington area. However, you don't save much more time on the Metro at these higher priced locations. So well worth considering this hotel and area.

Good value, decent rooms and a convenient location for me. Breakfast is decent: always get a waffle, eggs were intact (!) not powdered, and the coffee is drinkable, which is more than I can say for most chains in this price range. All the parking is convenient and it's easy to pop out to a nearby restaurant to grab dinner.
