We're looking for the best in the county.
Whether part of a “staycation,” a place to send the in-laws when they come to visit or a night near the airport before that 6 a.m. plane, Fairfax County is full of hotels, motels, residential suites and other accommodations. Patch wants to know which hotel is your go-to spot or the place you highly recommend. Your nominations were accepted through July 9. Voting is from July 23 through August 17. Thanks for participating! Fairfax County Patch sites are on Facebook (fan Patch in Fairfax County) and on Twitter @FairfaxCoPatch.

Summer is wedding season.
More weddings happen in summer than at any other time of year. Outside in the sun or inside in the air conditioning, cost, space and location — choosing a wedding reception venue is full of complicated decisions.

Fairfax County Patch sites are on Facebook (fan Patch in Fairfax County) and on Twitter @FairfaxCoPatch.
