SpringHill Suites Potomac Mills Woodbridge

I have been coming back to this hotel for years. The lobby is well decorated, and has an open eating area where breakfast is served daily. The breakfast is your typical free hotel breakfast, but it’s pretty good. They sell beer at the front desk, and a few toiletries (in case you forget something… like I did). The work out room is on the anemic side, but you can get on a treadmill at any time, since its open 24 hrs. The indoor heated pool is nice, and most importantly, clean.
I love the layout of the room. The toilet is in a separate room with a sink. The shower and another sink are in a separate room as well. There is a desk that separates (kind of) the living area from the sleeping area. The television swivels so that you can watch TV from the bed, or the pull out sofa. The microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker (pantry?), are a nice touch to make an extended business stay here very comfortable.
The one down side to this property is the actual property it sits on. This hotel is in the back of a shared parking lot, so you must navigate the gauntlet of other hotels and businesses to get here. The hotel is priced fairly low for the area, and there are many food, and shopping options, within walking distance.

This is one of the times I wish we could give half stars because my visit was more of a 3.5. It was a bit hard to find as you have to go through other parking lots to get here, but upon arrival there were plenty of parking spots. The lobby smelled good and designed kind of contemporary with a water theme. One thing noticeable missing was someone to check us in. We waited about 15 minutes before anyone came to check us in. The young lady was really nice though. I just wonder if they are understaffed because she was the only person we encountered during our stay. We checked in around 4 pm and went out after 11 pm she was there. When we checked out at noon the next day she was still there.
The suite was nice but smelled bad. I couldn’t distinguish the smell but it was not pleasent at all. The room was set up odd. The toilet was in a separate room with a small sink and the shower was in another room with a vanity. The bathroom with the shower smelled like chlorine but it wasn’t very clean. The shower floor was dirty and the bar had rust dripping down and staining the walls. The shower itself was nice though. Double jets and a nice shower head.
The bed and sofa were comfy and the swiveling tv was fine. I would stay here again for sure. The location is awesome, its a nice sized suite, affordable, the breakfast was good and the parking was free. If they work on cleaning the rooms better it and added some staff this could easily be a destination hotel.

Clean, nice, and cheap. Paid $ 109 and booked only a few days early. A lot of retail in the area. I’ve been to this exact one a few years back. I really liked the Paul Mitchell shampoo and conditioner. Appreciate something a little better.

We were in town for a wedding and selected this hotel to visit. The room and hotel were clean and the lobby was very fashion forward. The rooms were compact and a little dated… but clean. The wall paper in our bathroom was peeling… but that was really minor.
The bed was super comfy and the hotel was perfect for our overnight stay! The front desk staff were super accommodating as we came in on a Saturday and checked out on the day of the wedding (Sunday). They allowed us a late check out that carried us up to the time of the wedding.
Stayed September 2015, traveled as a couple

Great size rooms. Loved that they have two half bathrooms: one with a shower & sink and the other with a toilet & sink. Perfect for when you’re in the shower & someone has to use the toilet lol. Complimentary breakfast consist of waffles, eggs, sausages, cereals, bagels, muffins & croissants. Milk, juice & coffee. Their pool is small but not too bad to chill in & they close it at 11pm. I’d definitely stay here again. Staff was friendly & very courteous!

The room appeared clean. Since my nose is generally stuffed at night & clears by morning, I smelled dust & semen. Disgusting! WTF! Change everything on the bed.
Their beds & pillows are cheap & SUCK. The room felt small, but at least it had a living room. Location is great. I could hear the motorcycles on the streets, trash trucks, doors constantly slamming, & other guests speaking in normal voices.

I stayed here about a year ago on a weekend, just as a simple getaway. I like the fact that the hotel is close to the outlet stores, movie theatre, and restaurants, etc. I’ll keep it short.
Pros: Upon arriving, I immediately liked the décor and set-​up of the hotel. Simple and modern. I liked the extra security of using a hotel room key to operate the elevators. The staff were polite and professional. My room LOOKED nice and APPEARED clean.
Cons: My stay would’ve been perfect in the King-​sized bed suite I reserved, but upon opening the refrigerator, I smelled a horrible stench. The stench was so bad that after opening the refrigerator, it lingered for about five minutes. I tried my best to get over it, but I also noticed that the refrigerator, microwave, etc were sticky and not clean. I called the front desk, and they immediately moved me to another room — this time a double bed suite. The carpet felt murky when I walked around without my slippers, and I found stray hairs in the bathroom, which really freaks me out. I went to the lobby to purchase a bottle of water and children who were staying at the hotel had completely soaked the elevators after leaving the pool on the first floor. Management should make sure the floors and elevators are kept dry, as this is an obvious hazard. Overall, I let it go and I had a comfortable sleep and left. I informed a manager of my concerns on the way out, and she shook my hand and apologized and informed me if I stayed there again to ask for her. I am not sure if that was suffice, but I accepted knowing there probably wouldn’t be another time.

This hotel is really about 3.5 stars. The coolest thing about it is the location. It’s about 20 mins from Washington, DC and also 10 minutes away from the National Museum of the Marine Corps. The staff was nice and the décor was retro. The morning breakfast bar was OK and they have an indoor pool/​work out room.

This is my first stay at this particular hotel, however my loyalty is within the Marriott brand. The front desk staff was perfect and room was very clean upon arrival. The hotel was a little hard to find but eventually found my way. I do like the added security features of this hotel.

First and last time at the Spring hill suites, I’m a fan of Marriott especially the courtyard one, got a couple friend friend that works yep there… the room was nice and everything but the staff the girl that was putting the breakfast out was rude, I ask her if they had plain bagel she was like do you see any, I was like non but can you at least go check .she was like if you don’t see any that mean we don’t have any, like really… a couple minute later the other guys come out with a bunch of plain bagels .I feel like she was really rude.

Great Property, Value and Service.
Hi everyone,
Just a note of appreciation to the entire team as our stay was excellent. On no notice, the smart, pleasant front desk team guided us in and found us a fair rate.
The room, parking, etc. were excellent in all respects.
The next day the breakfast and checkout were easy enough and the team was friendly.
Behind the scenes, housekeeping found and turned in an item we left behind.
And the manager made arranges to get it to us.
It doesn’t get much better than this for service and value both. We’ll stay here again.
Best,
Dean S.

Nice hotel friendly staff room was really clean and the décor was modern and chic. But I didn’t like you needed your room key to get into hotel and also to make elevator work other wise great stay!

I absolutely love the marketing ads for SpringHill Suites! (I even played the videos for several friends) I was really looking forward to finally have the opportunity to stay at one.
The contemporary designer suite has a nice layout including desk, couch, fridge, separated shower and toilet areas. It doesn’t quite have the luxury spa feel I was hoping for (plush bedding & towels and a bottle of water would seem more in line with their marketing) but it is a stylish, comfortable and clean room.

Wouldn’t bother… I’m a fan of Marriott’s and Courtyard’s while on business… this is my first time at a SpringHill Suites. Seems to be Marriott’s attempt to be more trendy… it fell short. Cheaper room and lobby finishes, front desk doesn’t answer the phone and no one was at the front desk when I arrived at 6pm… gym is tiny… an apparent afterthought.

Another excellent experience at the SpringHill Suites Woodbridge! Evelyn gave great customer service checking me in and the excellence continued throughout the stay. They have a way of making you feel like you are an important guest here. I will be back soon.

Springhill Suites are my preferred business travel hotels. On this occasion I was traveling for a funeral. Though there is no executive lounge, I found this to be no different than any other Springhill. On this occasion, I was not the only traveler in my party. My in laws were staying in a room across the hall. They would likely chastise me for not giving 5 starts. They loved their stay and got hugs from the staff upon leaving.

The SpringHill Suites brand gives you a suite for about the same price as hotels of comparable quality give you a plain room. This property is newly built, with very modern décor. Rooms are decorated in aquamarine colors and feature walk-​in showers. The lobby is very chic. Brand standards include free wi-​fi and a complimentary breakfast that’s the best among comparable hotels.
Initially the hotel’s rates were a bargain for the area, probably in an effort to draw new business. In recent months the rates have increased significantly so I have to reduce my rating from 5 stars to 4. As nice as it is, for the price and location you should be able to get something a bit nicer.

This was my first time staying at a SpringHill suite property. It was like a hybrid between Courtyard and Residence Inn. I think the best comparison is the Aloft line by Starwood. It had a loft feeling to it. Pretty neat having the shower room separated from the toilet. The living room area was small, but I liked the separate space. Good thought went into the layout and aesthetics.

We stayed in our first SpringHill Suite the night before our autotrain trip back to florida — what a great surprise and excellent hotel. I try to stay with Marriott and another hotel chain when I travel in the States and overseas. The Marriott name, the reviews, the location to the autotrain and food choices for the family drove my decision. We are all glad we did it.
The entire property is new, very clean and modern — but not over the top or sterile. The reception ladies were extremely polite and the layout of the first floor to include snacks, drinks and the little things travelers forget are here. My wife enjoyed the décor and especially the colors.
But the big surprise is the quiet of the hotel and the size and layout of the room… I mean Suite. In our case — a very Long room, two queen beds; a separate lounge area with a pull out. A separate toilet area with sink and a separate shower/​tub with sink. No family fighting to wait in line! Great temperature controls; Flat screen HD TV. Five pillows per bed, and a perfect mattress (not too hard or too soft). We never made the breakfast, we slept it! Free WiFi in the room is a plus!
There are a number of good places to eat within a mile. We had a great price and a great stay. SpringHill suites will be our pick when traveling.

An amazing hotel situated 20 minutes south of DC — full of super friendly staff and rooms the size of my first apartment in Boston.
I stayed here the night before taking the Amtrak Auto Train, intending on getting a good night’s rest and a decent workout in the morning.
Check.
The rooms are ultra modern, huge (each suite has a sitting area with a desk and couch, fridge, coffee table and microwave.)
The beds were comfortable and came standard with six pillows… with another two in the closet just in case.
The bathroom had a chest-​level dual headed nozzle in addition to the one up top, so taking a shower was something akin to getting blasted with a firehose (except without the immense pressure that would send you through the wall to greet your neighbors.)
The gym was smallish but had two ellipticals and two treadmills, as well as some free weights, all of which I took advantage of.
There was an indoor pool, it was smaller and filled with kids but looked clean — I assume there was an outdoor pool somewhere since Expedia listed one, but I didn’t see it.
The free breakfast was actually really good — more than just the traditional free carbfest, it had eggs, sausage, waffles, toast, cereal, etc etc.
The only downside I found was that there was free wi-​fi in the lobby only, and the in-​room wifi required some sort of intricate password acquired ahead of time, which I was way too lazy to get at 12:30am when I finally opened up my laptop. But, after 8 hours of driving to get there, I could’t have cared less.
So if you find yourself in the area looking for an inexpensive (this was only $ 119) place to stay — head here. Don’t be fooled by the coos other hotels in the immediate vicinity, drive past them and stay here.
Also — there is a Starbucks about 400 feet from the hotel. Can’t beat that.
