Spark by Hilton Woodbridge

I purposely picked this hotel because it had an indoor pool but after checking in, I saw there was a sign that said the pool was closed. It was slightly disappointing. The staff was friendly though and the included breakfast had good options. The room wasn’t the cleanest but it wasn’t the worst.

There was a line 4 people deep requesting different rooms when I arrived. When I got into my room I was hit with a giant wall of stale cigarette smoke. I briefly considered asking for a different room before realizing that likely all the rooms were... somewhat flawed. A fine stop for a 7 hr cat nap on my way from NH to FL but the smell was a bit overwhelming and woke me up earlier than planned. 5 hrs of sleep later I'm back on the road if only to avoid that smell LOL. Drive an extra 1 hr south to Richmond and maybe try a hotel there, all the DC area hotels I've stayed in were always... not great.
