Holiday Inn Express and Suites Manassas by IHG

The staff who greeted us as we checked in were exceptionally kind and helpful. Moreso than any other hotel I’ve stayed at in the last couple years in the US. We had zero issues, breakfast was hot and delicious. Best biscuits I’ve had in a long time. I would return!

Staff

Very clean and friendly staff

clean rooms, super nice staff, great breakfast nice hot tub, Ice cold pool the pool was freezing cold. Im not sure if there was a communication issue, but the pool was ice cold. It was a hot day, and should felt warmer. The worker said they try to keep it cooler in summer time, but i ask about a heater and he said no heater. so not sure how they manage to keep it cooler? ice? but very unpleasent in cold water.

Very spacious. Clean and friendly staff. Close to restaurants and attractions. Very loud. Kids running up and down the hallways after quite hour knocking on peoples doors. People above loud at all hours of the night.

Nothing Everything

Very pleasant staff and very clean. Breakfast and amenities were great.

Enjoyed the coffee/tea bar that was available 24hrs.

Good

Room was clean. Duvet was showing some wear and tear, clean but some of the seams were torn. Staff was very polite and friendly. Breakfast was good. Nice variety and options. Loved the pools and hot tub. Only two plastic cups in the room. Did provide more when asked but should have more stocked in the rooms. This is our third stay there and would return.

Room was really clean.

Every thing is good

Convenient to where we needed to go, clean, great staff, comfy bed, and fantastic breakfast. The water pressure on the third floor was really low. The sink and shower were a steady drip at best so it made showering a challenge:(

It was very nice and clean. Easy on and off the exits to the highway. The Breakfast was great!! Never did any item run out!! Pool closed too early (9:00 pm). Every hotel I’ve stayed at the pool closed at 10:00pm.

The first room we had didn’t have a toilet that flushed. We tried to use the hotel phone which didn’t work. My husband ended up going back down to inform the representative at the front desk. She did change our room so repack everything to move. It was inconvenient.

No complaints

The location was convenient to many stores and restaurants. Exceptionally clean room, very spacious.

We loved how nice it was, front desk had phone, food was amazing BEST EVER ! Pool super clean and HOT TUB WAS THE BEST It was PERFECT

I would rate this hotel as an A-. Almost everything about it was nice: well maintained, clean, great staff, fantastic location. But two small things irritated me: low water pressure and the toile was very close to the batchroom sink. It seemed oddly placed and felt like ohe could fall ack over it. Strange I know. Overall, though it's a great place.

Best hotel we have stayed at in a while and on our whole trip. Breakfast was really good. Hotel was clean. Staff was friendly and the bed was soft as well. Loved the Dove products in the bathroom.

Location was pretty good. I always had a choice of parking while there. Hotel workers were exceptionally nice! I requested an extra blanket & it was brought to me within minutes of asking. We opted out of the housekeeping service (I have an OCD kid), so we had to request new towels, the housekeeper was extremely nice & understanding. The beds were almost like bricks with pillow toppers (not a fan). I paid more for what I thought was suppose to be a couch area, instead it was just 2 beds & a desk against the wall by the TV. Wasn't happy about (4) of us in such a tight space after paying more. I was told if I had stated (6) guest I would've gotten a couch area, however I would've paid for (6) guest which is a complete rip off. The hot tub was nice (when it worked). The pool was ice cold so not very enjoyable.

The location was great. Access to many restaurants and shopping stores. Also the front desk very welcoming. it was perfect

The room was very nice and clean. The breakfast was good and the staff were great. The room let in way too much noise from the hallway and the pool and hot tub heater was broken in spite of calling ahead and emailing to ensure it was working. I was told it was. I booked this hotel for the pool for my nine month pregnant daughter and my grandson's 7th birthday. I was notified when I checked in. That's not a good time to find out as we were tired and had plans for the afternoon that didn't allow for time to find and travel to another hotel. I would have given this a 4 rating if the pool had been usable as everything else was so nice.

Everything was excellent except for the Breakfast Buffet which was positively below acceptable. The eggs were possibly powdered eggs, tasteless, and the potatoes were soggy.

My bed had a long lump about midway my body length. The pillows were not firm enough.

I didnt get a VAT invoice and have been unable to get one since the stay, being batted back and forth between booking.com and the hotel. This has caused problems claiming my travel expenses…

Large, well kept rooms with optimal access to stores and restaurants in the area. Nice pool and spa. Minimal seating for breakfast, otherwise it was wonderful

Everything was great.

Everything was ok except the jacuzzi it was broken but still allowed people to get in it. Which caused it to be slimy and dirty. The pool was very cold to the point it felt like ice.

It had very good reviews and customer ratings. The only complaint, and its nothing major, was the wooded area behind the side parking lot. It was kind of sketchy and there was some trash that could easily be picked up. A wooden 6ft fence would be a great addition. Overall, the hotel, staff, and rooms were all GREAT. Id stay again, and again. Very nice, well kept, managed property.

The breakfast is very nice. Eggs, biscuits, gravy, sausage patties. Muffins. Cereal pancakes oatmeal yogurt. A lot of choices there. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The only minor thing was there is no cable just antennae channels and that left a lot to be desired in the evenings trying to find something to watch before bedtime.

From checkin to checkout I had a positive experience. The breakfast has good options with an attentive staff person. The room was clean, spacious and quiet. Blackout drape was effective in making the room dark for sleep.

Accessible room was not the case with the shower. It was a walk in but not accessible. No bench. Room way too large. Suite size not asked for. Bed uncomfortable. Housekeeping service. In 2 days we had no service. None. I did get night clerk to get us towels and trash service. Very disappointing and not inexpensive. Never will use again.

This was our 2nd stay here in NOVA while we were in town visiting family. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and the ladies running it were very kind. Very close to the I-66. Cracker Barrel right across the street. Highly recommend.

Very nice hotel with a lot of entertainment around, ask for a lower level room if traveling with toddlers and younger children.

Highly impressive hotel at a very reasonable price. We were pleasantly surprised at how clean and well kept this hotel was. We had a suite with 2 queen beds and a sofa bed, and it comfortably fit all 5 adults and 1 child. The bathroom was a great size, very clean, and had excellent lighting. It was well stocked with towels, toilet paper, soap, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion. We appreciated that the room had 2 televisions, one in the main room with the queen beds, and another in the room with the sofa bed. We met 2 women working the front desk and both were very kind and helpful. There was plenty of parking, and there is a Cracker Barrel and gas station right across the road from the hotel, which was very convenient. We would love to stay again!

I was harassed by someone who was not a guest upon arriving back at the hotel at night, I had children with me and made staff aware and he did absolutely nothing and this lady went on to harass another guest after we went inside. Then we were woken up at 6 am by kids running up and down the hallway and nothing was done about that either that continued until around 9 am. I paid more for a place like this expecting comfort and pease instead I was made to feel uncomfortable

The rooms and common areas were clean and in general well kept. The elevator made a bit of a scary noise. There were people letting their children run up and down the hall and through the breakfast area. It bittered my taste a little but it’s not really the hotel’s fault that some people are rude.

We stayed one night and it fulfilled our needs. Had a safe in the room, close to restaurants and easy access to our destination. It was clean and the staff was polite, welcoming and professional. Our only complaint was a bath towel for the floor was very stained but we didn’t know it until we unfolded it. If we are in the area we would stay again.

The free breakfast was probably the best free breakfast of any hotel we have previously stayed in

This property was the perfect location and a great price

Convenient location

The pool was freezing cold water. The jacuzzi was just right. The safe in the room didn't work and maintenance could not reset it correctly after trying it about four different times. The bathroom facet cold water was running very slowly. Every time we flushed the toilet water was dripping on the floor.

Beds were comfortable and rooms are bright

We always enjoy staying here very nice staff and convenient location

The location was great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Paid for a suite and the tub was broken and the refrigerator froze all of the babies milk and food. Informed the staff, no compensation was given.

Easy check in

Nice stay, comfortable bed and pillows. King suite had a door closing it off from sleeper sofa area however, if you closed it only the bed area stayed cool. Decor was boring. Service and cleanliness excellent!

Nice place

The rooms had lots of storage space and seating. The bathroom was a good size and I enjoyed that the toilet and sink were all in the same room and not separated by walls or doors. Staff were very nice and polite and ensured we had a good visit at the hotel.

I liked the fact that it was close to the venue that we went too, to see the concert. Overall, it could have used a few upgrades.The water in the bathroom sink came out extremely slow and was getting all over the countertop. I was with another person on a different floor and when I went to go visit it's enrique of marijuana. The complimentary breakfast that you received was good nice variety... It seemed to be not enough air flow. I tried opening up the window to get some fresh air from outside and was unable to get the window open....

Nice hotel in a quiet area. Beds are comfortable and room is clean. The staff at the front desk was super friendly and helpful.

Our room smelled like dog

Typical Holiday Inn Express, which is always clean and modern. Friendly and efficient staff. I LOVED that their toiletries are Dove brand. This is more a personal preference as I normally travel with my own supply, but the first time I've ever seen a hotel use that brand as their standard. Gold star for this.

Staff members were so Friendly

Our suite was perfect for our family. Better than we expected for a last minute business trip.

Clean, comfortable bed, quiet room, helpful staff !!

Very clean, comfortable beds, fresh towels w/o requesting, great breakfast, professional staff. Restaurants close. Made our stay pleasant. Will definitely choose here again!

The staff was great and the room was clean. I would definitely stay there again.

Will stay again!

It was really good, and worth it.
