Holiday Inn WASHINGTON-DULLES INTL AIRPORT by IHG, an IHG Hotel

Pros: As a woman traveling alone at night, I really appreciated how brightly lit the parking area was. It felt much safer than most hotel parking lots. My hotel room was very clean, and check in was quick. Possible Cons: there are only two floors, so if you prefer a high floor, that isn't a possibility here. And there is no small makeup mirror, if that's something you need. The area isn't particularly walkable and there isn't anything nearby you can get to on foot. Overall: This is a great pick for a short term stay close to Dulles Airport.

Another great stay here. O’Malley’s fed and wined us with a very good steak at 10 p.m. Slept in comfy bed, good shower, nice staff. Shuttle on time stated and very friendly. Yep, our go-to when flying through Dulles!

I/we stay here (and use long-term parking) every time we fly overseas. Convenient/frequent shuttle service to/from IAD and an onsite restaurant is a huge advantage for those returning from lengthy travels (we only have to stumble back to our room after dinner rather than drive when we’re super-tired).
