Home-Style Comfort Near Fairfax’s Music Scene

Modern and practical, Candlewood Suites Washington-Fairfax offers a relaxed, home-away-from-home vibe just a few miles from George Mason University and major concert spots. Located in a quiet area of Fairfax, this all-suite hotel is designed for travelers who want more space, more flexibility, and a little extra peace and quiet after a big night out.

Each suite comes with a fully equipped kitchen, free WiFi, and a cozy seating area—making it easy to recharge after the show. With a fitness center, 24/7 convenience store, and even bike rentals, this hotel blends comfort with convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're seeing your favorite band at EagleBank Arena or catching a show in nearby Washington, D.C., you'll love the easy access to local venues (just 3 miles from George Mason University). The neighborhood is quiet enough for post-concert downtime, and the hotel’s 12:00 PM check-out gives you time to sleep in. On-site parking and public transport make getting around stress-free, even after a late-night encore.

  • Groups of friends who want to cook, hang out, and crash comfortably in one place
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list performance
  • Couples looking for a low-key weekend of music and relaxation
  • Fans needing quiet recovery after a high-energy night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

  • Suites include full kitchens, perfect for late-night bites or pre-concert meals
  • Walkable restaurants and take-out options nearby
  • Breakfast flexibility—cook your own or grab something quick before checkout

Nightlife Options

  • While the hotel itself is quiet, it's a short drive to Fairfax nightlife and live music bars
  • Easy access to Washington, D.C. for those looking to extend the night
  • Enjoy a low-key evening with a movie from the hotel’s DVD library

What People Say

  • Guests love the spacious rooms and full kitchens, especially for longer stays or group trips
  • Reviews highlight the cleanliness and friendly staff
  • Excellent value for money, particularly appreciated by travelers attending nearby events

Areas for Improvement

  • No daily housekeeping service unless requested—but that’s a plus for some who prefer privacy

Good choice and works well...

Liked: I stayed here mid-trip, and they have free laundry facilities, which is very handy. I've stayed here before, and I returned because of this. It's also close to where I was visiting.
Disliked: Nothing

Good location, dated hotel, would...

Liked: Location
Disliked: Decor was quite dated, carpets were old, and it smelled bad, the smell was overwhelming of body odor. There was no exhaust fan in the bathroom and this, combined with the high humidity of the area, made the room very muggy.

Disappointing

Disliked: I didn’t like the fact that the front desk person took my credit card behind a wall to process the transaction. I didn’t like the fact that I was put in a handicap room. I didn’t like the fact that I had to prop my TV up with a paper towel because it was broken. I didn’t like the fact that the bathroom had not been cleaned properly. There was hair, maybe from a previous occupant in the washcloths and on the sink in the bathroom floor, didn’t look like it wascleaned I don’t think I would ever book with this hotel again.

Never again!

Liked: Location was convenient and pillows were cozy.
Disliked: Very dated (modem and fax jacks on yellowed walls), old yellowed cracked outlets plates, stains on bathroom floor, counter and shower. Neighbors were clearly cooking fish in the evening. Lobby area smelled like beef stew when we checked in. Walls appear to have smokers yellowing to them.

Much better alternatives for same...

Liked: Not much to like. It provided a space to sleep.
Disliked: There are so many other, much nicer, places to stay in the area for the same price range. Perhaps there is a long term stay rate which is better. My room was over the front door, so every time the door slid open, I could clearly hear it. ALL NIGHT and starting at 5:00AM. Room was clean enough but out dated. No restaurants within walking distance. I left after one night and booked a room near the Dunn Loring Metro.
