Comfort Inn University Center

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice"

Private 1BR Suite w/ Own Entry · Walk to GMU

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment is everything plus more as in the description. The neighborhood is upscale and quiet. We felt very safe. The parking is off the street on a long shared driveway that serves two homes. The house backs up to some woods and is very private.. Entry is through the basement door located behind the house. There is a nice covered, screened patio that we enjoyed. Inside we found a very large sitting area with a huge TV, a couch and recliners. The dining room seats 6. There are endless games located in the dining room and the huge table is great for eating and family game night.The bedroom is awesome too. The king bed is really nice. There is a walk in closet for your things and a large bookshelf filled with books.. The bathroom is super clean and well lit.The kitchen has everything except a stove. This space was clearly created for guests. There are 2 ways to make coffee. 1 with pods and several are there to get you started. The other is via an electric tea kettle and French press. There is some coffee grounds there, but serious coffee drinkers need to bring more.. The microwave was clean. The fridge was clean.. everything was clean. My wife can spot an unclean surface from 100 feet and she was happy.The laundry area is next to the kitchen in its own room.. There is a 7 pound full size fire extinguisher and fire blanket in the kitchen. A rare find.. I travel alot and usually the fire extinguishers are from the dollar store.Everything is A here."
