Looking for an Extended Stay along the DC metro? We found three in the suburban areas, with our favorite being the Tysons Corner Extended Stay. The combination of activities nearby, convenience, overall cost and amenities puts this location as the best.

Franconia-Springfield is also a decent option, with a lower average price point, but the area itself is limited and the commute can be longer. Largo Extended Stay is another possibility, with a more convenient location to the metro station. But, the hotel is really only helpful for people going to see the Washington Redskins game. Aside from that convenience, sub-par rooms and mild safety concerns near the metro holds this hotel back. All Extended Stays offer free parking, breakfast, wifi and are typically cheaper than other hotels.

Largo is known primarily for the FedEx Field, home of the Washington Redskins and is a suburban neighborhood in Maryland – at the end of the blue and silver line.
