The hotel was located in a very nice suburb in Virginia outside of DC, making it very convenient to places we wanted to visit.

The hotel is in a convenient location near the Ballston metro station and restaurants. The rooms are comfortable and clean, but lack proper lighting and bedside tables on both sides of the bed. The service was friendly and the hotel offers spacious rooms. The dining experience was decent with homestyle Japanese dishes. The hotel could get crowded during busy mornings.

The hotel had a musty smell in the rooms, which was nice, but the desk and workspace were good. The service was extremely understanding and flexible during a reservation issue, and I would definitely recommend Comfort Inn and Suites Ballston.
