SpringHill Suites Alexandria

10/10 Excellent

"A"

Hyatt Centric Old Town Alexandria

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay with fantastic comfort and location! Ihad a wonderful stay at this hotel. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep after long days of exploring.The location is perfect—it is situated in a great area, incredibly close to the metro station, and within easy walking distance of major local attractions.What really stood out was the staff. They were consistently helpful, welcoming, and attentive throughout our entire visit. Highly recommended!"

Residence Inn by Marriott Alexandria Old Town South at Carlyle

8/10 Good

"Pleasant and clean. Staff was very nice and helpful. The drawback was that the safe in our room was not working and we couldn't leave for the day without locking up our laptop and valuables. The staff was able to fix it eventually but it delayed our plans for the day while we waited in the room as they repaired it. Also the fridge made an annoying knocking sound, and one elevator was out of service. Overall the room was clean and comfortable, but they need to give some attention to maintenance. The other thing I did not like is that even though they have what looks like secure parking with a gated entrance, when we drove up, the voice on the speaker at the entrance to the garage only asked if we were checking in. We said yes, and the security gate was raised. They did not ask our name. The garage is not secure if you're going to raise the gate for anyone saying they are checking in."

Hilton Alexandria Old Town

8/10 Good

"The hotel was pretty and we had high hopes after a night before experience in a different hotel. Unfortunately, the restaurant had a limited menu due to some mechanical issue and the bar had things on their menu that they didn't have ingredients for. That really put a damper on our stay as we didn't plan on walking around the area or leaving the garage with our vehicle. Everything else was pretty good."

Kasa Del Ray Alexandria

8/10 Good

"Wasn't there long to enjoy being in the Delray area but the unit was nice and clean. Had challenges with the code that was provided but they eventually answered the phone and I was able to get into the building but it took over 10 minutes I think both our bags we're gonna check it out let me finish"
