Guest User: If you are on a business trip to the Reston area, it would be the best hotel. It is located between Herndon station and Reston station, so it is a bit far from using Metro, but there was no big problem. There is also a Herndon police station right next door, so the neighborhood is good. There is a trail right behind it, so it's great for jogging or walking on weekends. There is a washing machine and dryer in the laundry room on the second floor, so if you are on a long business trip, you can also solve the laundry at a very low price. At the time I used it, the cleanliness of the detergent injection and dust inhalation was not good, but I asked for cleaning, so I think it might have improved now. The room is quite spacious and has a desk, so it is good to see additional work at the hotel. The closet is a bit narrow, but it doesn't seem too crowded for male business travelers to use it. In addition, there are electric pots, refrigerators and microwaves in the room, which are also good for heating simple food when you go out. The downside is that there are many domestic travel fun for families, so it can be a little noisy on weekends, but if you stay on the 4th floor, you can stay a little quiet. In conclusion, I think it is a good value for money hotel for business trips in the Reston and Herndon areas. Oh, the downside is that for Android users, connecting to hotel wifi wasn't very smooth. I don't know why, but after erasing all the cookies, it was connected.

Cometosee: Good service as an airport hotel. Picking up from the airport, very attentive and punctuate. The hotel is 10 min drive from the airport. Pretty sufficient for 1 night layover. Room is huge with 2 queen beds, big sofa, big TV. Functional bathroom with a small tub. Service is good. Staff are friendly. As the hotel location, they offer to drive you where you want and pick you up. All arranged with the reception. Breakfast is basic and self serving. All plates are plastics for one time use. Recommended for those who want to stay 1 night.

Sandra: Everything was good, the room is clean and spacious. The only two lost points were the front desk staff didnt know the swimming pool was under maintenance. (Seems not quite professional) Also, the back door (access the lobby and the lift to the room) wasnt locked nor a security guard, everyone can access to the room floor. It may cause some safety concerns. But only for a flight catcher, this is a great choice. Many restaurants next to the hotel.

Traveler photos and experiences
Sunrise over the Potomac River from Great Falls Virginia
#fallcolors I arrived at Great Falls Park in Virginia before dawn, coffee in hand, and joined a small group of photographers waiting for the sun to rise over the Potomac River. At first, all I could see was a heavy mist clinging to the water and the dark outlines of rocks in the distance. Then, almost without warning, the sky behind the trees began to glow, and the entire scene lit up in shades of rose and pale gold. The park entrance fee was twenty dollars per car, which I paid by card at the booth. The park opens at 7 a.m. most of the year, but during the fall months it can open earlier for sunrise access, so I checked the website in advance. That turned out to be a smart move, because the road to the overlook was still closed when I arrived and I had to wait an extra twenty minutes. Wear sturdy shoes and bring a flashlight if you are walking in the dark. The paths near the overlooks are uneven and, in places, bordered by steep drop-offs. I also overestimated how warm I would be and regretted not bringing gloves. The view was worth the cold fingers, though. My question for other visitors is whether the Virginia side is more dramatic than the Maryland side at sunrise. I have only seen one, and now I am curious.
USA dc tour great falls park
When visiting the suburbs of Washington, D.C., it's inconvenient to rely on public transportation, so renting a car is necessary. Initially, I wanted to rent a mid-sized SUV, but I ended up with a larger one, which turned out to be fine. It was also convenient for shopping. The rental cost was $80 per day. The main purpose was to visit Great Falls Park, which offers stunning natural scenery. It's about a half-hour drive, and I highly recommend it.
Beautiful waterfall not far from DC 💦
Great Falls Park, located not far from Washington D.C., offers convenient parking and allows pets on leashes. The walking trails are shaded and easy to navigate, leading visitors to the stunning waterfalls and large rock formations of the Potomac River. Swimming is prohibited due to the strong and fast currents. The park provides picnic tables and barbecue grills, making it an ideal spot for a holiday picnic. 🕰️ Operating Hours: Open daily except Christmas Day, from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

Go see the cool waterfalls in the US! Great Falls Park
While some say the Eastern US lacks national parks with scenery as spectacular as the West, I believe it's unbeatable for a summer trip! In the Eastern US, specifically in Virginia, there's a place where you can blow away the heavy heat of summer with the cool sound of waterfalls! At Great Falls Park, you can enjoy a stunning waterfall view without much walking from the parking area. Among the various viewing spots for the waterfall, there are easily accessible ones for wheelchair users (refer to the third photo). Great Falls Park is a fantastic spot where you can easily enjoy the refreshing waterfall without breaking a sweat 👍 📍Great Falls Park, 9200 Old Dominion Dr, McLean, VA 22102 💵 Entrance Fee: $20 per car, National Parks Annual Pass accepted ❗️Pro Tip: There's a well-maintained trekking course at Riverbend Park (no entrance fee)! It takes about 40-60 minutes one way from Riverbend to Great Falls. #USATravel #Virginia #GreatFalls #USNationalParks
DC/Riverbend Park
Location: On the Potomac River at the junction of Virginia and Maryland. Transportation: It takes about 19 kilometers to take Metro/Bus, so it is recommended to drive there. (Because it is a state national park, you need to pay for car entry.) There are many trails to walk inside. After walking for a while, you can see the Olmsted Island Overlook, which is the landscape where the film was shot. Because it rained the day before yesterday, the color of the sea water will be the color of sand. It is recommended for people who like hiking and nature to take a walk here.
Bright and Sunny at Westin Dulles
Straight from a 23 hour plane from Manila to Narita to Dulles, this beautiful landscape framed into my bedroom at the Westin Dulles is what greeted me on my visit in Virginia. Bright sun reflecting by the 15 meter tall fountain at the middle of a small lake in the vast greenery was a sure relief after the long ride. The big, soft and comfortable bed shortly cradled me to a good sleep after a hot at steamy bath on the large bathroom with a very nice robe to finish. It was a joy waking up everyday to this nice view, with the buffet with variety of fresh local produce waiting for me at the club lounge. I even met some Filipinos working there, and as usual, gave me a very warm and nothing but impeccable service. #favehotels #businesstrip #westin #virginia
What people are saying about Dranesville
Washington Monument
The Washington Monument looked like a giant pencil stuck in the ground, blindingly white. We queued to go in and take the elevator; my ears were ringing as I went up. Looking out the window, the plaza's pool and Lincoln Hall looked like tiny squares. An old lady pointed into the distance, saying that was her state, but I couldn't really see anything. My legs were a little weak as I came down; walking around the base, I noticed the stone's color varied from top to bottom, darker above the waist. People were lying on the lawn sunbathing, and kites floated gently in the sky.
YoYo_1I8Q7O5OGreat Falls Park
[Scenery] The Great Falls Park is a great choice for local hiking. There are few tourists, mostly hiking and rock climbing enthusiasts, and it has a great atmosphere! [Fun] There are not many supply stations nearby, so bring your own dry food
M32***23National Mall
The National Mall is just a vast expanse of grass, the cobblestone path in the middle crunching underfoot. The Monument stands out in the distance, Lincoln Hall perched at the other end. Runners pant past, children chase pigeons. I find a bench, sit down, and nibble on a sandwich, the wind blowing the crumbs away. Every few steps there's a museum, rows of red brick and gray walls, but I don't have the energy to visit them all. As the sun sets, the lawn fills with people, watching the sky gradually darken.
YoYo_1I8Q7O5OThe White House
The White House is just a big white building, its lawn a striking green. Outside the iron fence, crowds of people are taking photos; tour guides wave small flags and shout instructions, while tourists crane their necks to see. A child, perched on his father's shoulders, points to a window and says he sees people, when in fact there's nothing there. Walking halfway around, the large trees in the backyard look older than the building itself. An old man stands across the street holding a sign, but no one pays him any attention. After ten minutes, my neck aches from the sun, so I turn and leave. Looking back, the building sits quietly on the lawn, just like in the postcard.
YoYo_1I8Q7O5OUnited States Capitol
The Capitol Building is a magnificent structure with a massive white cast-iron dome topped by the Statue of Liberty. It houses the offices of the U.S. legislature (Senate and House of Representatives), and many laws that have influenced the United States and the world were enacted here. Visiting the interior requires advance booking through the official website. We found the visitor center; security was very strict, and liquids were prohibited, so we had to discard all the hot water in our thermos flasks. Inside, we first watched a 10-minute historical documentary in a small theater, then were divided into groups and given headphones for guided tours. The interior was filled with ornate paintings, exquisite reliefs, and numerous statues of historical figures. The guides enthusiastically explained the furnishings and stories of the historical figures, and we also toured the Senate and House meeting rooms and members' offices.
Flora_GuLincoln Memorial
The steps of the Lincoln Memorial were packed with people, the marble columns so tall you had to crane your neck to see them. The statues were larger than I'd imagined, hands resting on the railings, eyes gazing into the distance. The inscriptions on the walls were so deep they seemed embedded. An old man stood there silently for a long time before moving on. Looking back from the bottom of the steps, the crowd looked like ants, swaying back and forth across the square. The pool reflected the distant obelisk, which seemed fragile enough to shatter in the wind. The sun made the ground scorching, but sitting there for a while brought a sense of coolness.
YoYo_1I8Q7O5OGeorgetown
Located in an old town in Washington, Georgetown is the main campus of Georgetown University. Walk through the old town and climb the mountain to Georgetown University. The old town is mainly a shopping district with various boutiques and restaurants on the street. The buildings on the street are also very distinctive and full of historical charm.
纽约漫时光Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History
