Psych Visit and Hotels in Fairfax VA

[Guest guest]

Ok all, I got through the psych visit just fine. The doctor was very

nice and faxed my letter to the surgeon. Now what I need to know is

does anyone know of an extended stay hotel near Fairfax... I need to

stay in the area about 9 days!

Thanks

I was reading my mail list from the bottom, so came across this after

I responded with location of the hospital. i believe that Shauntae

recommends a hotel just the other side of Route 50 from the hospital

on Gallows Road. Dorian and Jeannie stayed there. They actually

walked back to the hotel 1 week post-op after attending a Dr. E.

support group at the hospital. Maybe they can furnish

recommendations. I do not know where Dr. E. sees patients

post-discharge/post-op: in his office or in the hospital.

But, the hotel situation near his office is bleak (I work in the

area) because many new office buildings have been erected, but no new

hotel space has been added. There is an EconoLodge (or similar

budget name) at the intersection of Interstate 66 and Lee Highway

(Route 29/211) in Falls Church. It is a bit closer to his office

than to Fairfax Hospital, but not terribly far from either.

As to extended stay hotels, there are some " Suites " hotels in the

Tysons Corner area, a very busy and densely trafficked

business-shopping-mall area west of the intersection of Routes 495

(Beltway) and Route 7. If you have the strength you could shop 'til

you drop while in recovery. But, the place where Dorian and Jeannie

stayed might also be a " Suites " kind of place.

Steve,

Thanks for the update. I think we have a hotel we got off

priceline.com for $40 a night. It is 4.4 miles from the hospital

(not quite sure I will be ready to walk that distance). What do you

know about the Wellesley Inn of Fairfax?

I never heard of it. I got this description from the

web:

The Wellesley Inn Fairfax is located in beautiful,

historic Fairfax City just minutes away from several shopping malls

and business districts, as well as the nation's Capitol. The hotel is

a newly renovated four-story building with all interior, well-lit

corridors. The lobby is richly decorated with imported marble and

tastefully chosen artwork.

Being four-story means that it is not one of the several

wood-cabin motels in that ares. I'd guess that it is OK.

The address is Lee highway, but Lee Highway does not run through the

heart of Fairfax City. It skirts the outre boundary of

it. Don't even think of walking to/from it, though. You'd

get mown down by traffic.
