Hotels near Amtrak Auto Train - Lorton Station, Lorton

We have stayed in this particular hotel for the past 5 years. (We are snow birds) this hotel is less than a mile from the auto Trian. This holiday inn express has been extremely clean and welcoming in the past and i am sure it will be so in the future. (one worker was cleaning the front stoop when we arrived, then saw her sweeping the entrance three times more) . comes with breakfast, friendly, helpful people. What more do we need. good restaurants in area. personally, the cleanliness of the hotel is what gets my husband and I. The great staff is an added benefit. Highly recommend.

I can’t say enough about this hotel. I travel close to 300 nights a year and this was by far the best hotel I’ve been too. From the staff, housekeeping, hotel amenities and breakfast it was truly fantastic. I stayed at this hotel from January 31- April 22 and will only stay there if I need to go back to the DC metro area. It is very close to the metro going into the city. There is always Lyfts and Ubers around. Loads of restaurants just down the road. The billing was flawless, I never once had a issue. Every time I had a issue it was quickly resolved. I would give this hotel 10 stars if I could.

Overall experience was Great. The reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 was due to the thermostat and the firmness of the mattress (personal opinion). I came up during a terrible ice/snow storm.. and the thermostat seemed to keep fluctuating temperatures up and down. Took me 30 minutes to keep adjusting the temperature... until I ended up giving up. The ventilation in my room wasn’t the greatest either. The mattress was too firm for my liking, however the sheets were insanely comfy! 10/10 cleanliness and the bathroom shower was out of this world 🙌🏻 The stay was very comfortable considering my frustration on the thermostat.

We stayed here for one night as a halfway point traveling home from Myrtle Beach. From the minute we walked in I was immediately impressed by the level of cleanliness. It smelled clean and was visually appealing. I was greated right away with a smile by the staff member at the front desk (Cesare) even though he was waiting on the people in front of me. We had a room with 2 queen beds, the room was large and my two small children had plenty room to roam around within the room. The bathroom is separated into 2 sections (one area with a sink and shower the other is toilet and small sink). Very clean and appears well maintained. In the morning my husband commented on how comfortable the bed was. My daughters liked the little desk area to draw and color and it made them feel like big kids ”at work”. I especially loved the oversized couch very comfortable to relax on. The bed next to the ”work area” is also the bed in front of the TV and in front of the toilet section. It would be difficult to watch the TV from the other bed (based on placement of the TV) so we put the little ones there and they watched their tablets. The doors to the bathroom areas are on sliders and are frosted glass - my only complaint was that when my husband used the bathroom in the middle of the night it became very bright in the room when he turned on the light. The breakfast was one of the best that I have had at a hotel that provides free breakfast. Plenty of options that even my picky 3 and 5 yr olds enjoyed. Overall the staff was so nice and the hotel was very clean. We will definitely be booking this hotel again next year as we make our way down to Myrtle and then again on the way home.

The hotel seems fine, pleasant staff and clean rooms etc. I had 2 issues that made it where I’d be reluctant to go back, though both could probably be fixed. 1. There was some kind of high pitch sound that was similar to a beep but seemed to be related to the plumbing. It happened roughly once a minute which made it hard to get to and stay asleep. 2. Then, in the morning, showering, the shower products attached to the walls (39 degrees north brand) had awful package design so you couldn’t read the description of what each bottle was. Grey bottle with pale green product description (shampoo, conditioner, body wash) so you couldn’t see the difference. Point proven by staff who apparently couldn’t see it either because there were 2 conditioners, 1 body wash and zero shampoo - which I verified after my shower with cell phone flashlight and glasses on. All in all, though the rooms and staff were good, but the whole purpose of being there was to get a good night sleep and shower which were both messed up.

There was a line 4 people deep requesting different rooms when I arrived. When I got into my room I was hit with a giant wall of stale cigarette smoke. I briefly considered asking for a different room before realizing that likely all the rooms were... somewhat flawed. A fine stop for a 7 hr cat nap on my way from NH to FL but the smell was a bit overwhelming and woke me up earlier than planned. 5 hrs of sleep later I'm back on the road if only to avoid that smell LOL. Drive an extra 1 hr south to Richmond and maybe try a hotel there, all the DC area hotels I've stayed in were always... not great.
