                       Thursday, October 19, 2017

  Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Residence Inn 
Fair Lakes on its 20th anniversary. Each year, the Residence Inn 
provides exemplary service to those living in and visiting the Northern 
Virginia region. Countless numbers of great reviews and ratings have 
ensured its reputation as one of the premier hotels in the region. It 
is an honor to recognize the Residence Inn on its 20th anniversary and 
celebrate this extraordinary accomplishment.
  Opening their doors in 1997, the Residence Inn Fair Lakes filled a 
need in the community for high quality yet affordable accommodations. 
Being located in a prime location, the Residence Inn attracts a wide 
variety of travelers from short stay tourists to longer-term business 
professionals. Its proximity to Dulles and National Airports, the 
thriving high-tech region of the Dulles corridor, Fair Oaks Mall, 
George Mason University, countless restaurants, and of course 
Washington, D.C., has made the Residence Inn Fair Lakes a premier 
destination.
  In 20 years, the Fair Lakes region of our county has witnessed 
explosive growth and expansion in residential as well as corporate 
development. Residence Inn Fair Lakes has positioned itself to give 
business travelers, both domestic and international, a place to stay 
that is like a home away from home.
  In addition to providing exceptional accommodations to business and 
leisure travelers, Residence Inn Fair Lakes also offers extensive event 
planning services. Corporate meetings, conferences and training 
sessions are frequently scheduled at the Residence Inn Fair Lakes. 
Social events including engagement parties, showers, and family 
reunions are made even more special through the outstanding customer 
service provided by the facility and its staff. And of course, the 
wedding services and receptions held at the Residence Inn are 
meticulously planned. No detail is overlooked and the beautiful setting 
makes the event even more memorable.
  The motto of the Commonwealth of Virginia is: ``Virginia is for 
Lovers.'' The management and staff of the Residence Inn embodies that 
motto through its hospitality, generosity, kindness, exemplary customer 
service, and reliability. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me 
in congratulating the Residence Inn Fair Lakes on its 20th anniversary 
and in wishing it continued success.
