I had a decent stay at the Comfort Inn Ballston. The hotel was clean, and the breakfast was a nice touch, but it had its drawbacks, particularly regarding the location and amenities.

However, the absence of a pool and some dated facilities did detract from the experience.

I had a decent stay at Comfort Inn Ballston. The beds were comfortable, and the room was clean, which made for a restful night. However, the breakfast setup felt a bit cramped, and I wasn't entirely satisfied with the use of paper plates and plastic cutlery. Overall, it’s a good place for a short stay, especially given its proximity to DC and the shuttle service to the metro.
