I spent one night here following a stay in another Marriott hotel- the Richmond VA Residence Inn and the 2 hotels could not be further apart in hospitality and amenities yet the Richmond location is cheaper. The TownPlace charges a $100.oo pet fee--not so "pet- friendly", had a non- smoking policy yet had burn holes in the curtains and the lobby is non- existent, business was conducted in an office adjacent to the open door laundry room which had dirty linen strewn all about in clear view. The bathroom had mold in the tub area and the pool is situated right by the parking lot. I would exhaust all other offerings before choosing to stay here again.

I've stayed here a few times. It is ok, but nothing special to report. Staff was competent and helpful. Location is adjacent to a shopping center, and within a few miles of every store imaginable. It is right across the street from a farmer's market, open Sundays, good produce in the summer.
A unique place to stay a couple miles down Cascades Parkway on the potomac is Algonkian Regional Park Cottages (google it). Advance reservations needed, deposit and so forth, but located in a wooded setting on the river. You will not have the conveniences of the TownPlace Suites however.

have stayed there twice, clean quite extended stay hotel, one of best features the the excellent staff, short term stays get room made every day, kitchen with micro, full refrigator, stove and all kitchen pots and pans, plates furnished. i would recommend it to family or single, opp for one bedroom if can just like home
