SpringHill Suites by Marriott Fairfax Fair Oaks

Each day begins with a complimentary breakfast buffet. For business needs, enjoy high-speed, free Wi-Fi and a 24-hour business center with free copy, fax and postal services. Suites include a partition wall that separates the living area from the sleeping area — where the bed features a pillow-top mattress. Host a meeting with up to 40 people in the 784-square-foot event space, then work up a sweat at the 24-hour fitness center which features cardio equipment and free weights.

Let the town, once frequented by George Washington and George Mason, take you back in time. Stroll down the local streets and tour the Fairfax Court House, Old Fairfax Jail and the Ford House among other Revolutionary War era sites. Tour the National Firearms Museum, which features firearms dating back to 1350 (and includes those owned by six U.S. presidents) or the Civil War Interpretive Center, home to more than 120 artifacts left behind by Union soldiers during their occupation.
