“Candlewood Suites Alexandria - Fort Belvoir caters to extended stays, but some experiences seem inconsistent. While the staff receives high marks for service, particularly at check-in, cleanliness and room upkeep appear to be areas needing attention. For travelers prioritizing budget-friendly, longer visits, it's worth considering, but be sure to confirm room conditions.”
