Beds were very comfortable room fairly clean except for dead bugs in bathroom ceiling light. Staff was very friendly. We had a first floor room that was very easy for my mother who can not walk very far. The Handicapped parking was about 20 ft from our door. Breakfast was not the greatest hotel breakfast I have had. Food was... More

This was THE worst hotel experience I have ever had. No where, on their site, is there an indication that there wasn't an elevator. My husband has problems with his legs, and this hotel put us in the room farthest from the only entrance that was accessible at night, even though I had requested a first floor room upon booking....

We had a great stay at the Old Colony Inn. All of the staff were very helpful and caring. The shuttle driver was very informative about the all of the sites in Alexandria. The staff would send out the shuttle whenever we wanted a ride back from Old Town to the Inn, especially during the threat of inclement weather. The... More

I have been doing my own research regarding hotels in the washington D.C. area, this hotel had the best customer reviews and it was true. Clean rooms, DVD library and DVD player in room, lots of TV channels, great free breakfast, free wifi, free parking, free shuttle to D.C. (we had a rental car), great customer service and even the...

We stayed at this hotel for 4 days during one of the hottest weeks this spring - temps reached 90 degrees. As other reviewers indicated, this is an older property and is going to have its problems. The AC went out one night but was fixed by the next day. Without asking, we were refunded 1/2 the night's room rate.... More

Property is older, but true to the history of the area! While our room was comfortable we could hear hallway and outside noises. The shuttle service was amazing! Drivers were very friendly and helpful.

Quality hotel; however, minor problems were encountered: Desk lamp did not work, fan in bathroom was noisy and sink stopper did not work. Staff indicated they would make a rate adjustment for our next visit.

Thank you for the great review. We are located close to so many attractions, Metro and the Airport. Our Free shuttle is a good way to travel if you do not want to walk. It sounds like your family enjoyed the walks around "Old Alexandria". We will look forward to a return visit soon. Wanda Walker General Manager More

I've stayed at the BW Old Colony on business many times. Overall, it is clean, convenient & well run by a great staff. It is an older property, and not at all modern. But the previous owners compensated for this by making sure it was very clean, the beds were new & comfortable, the breakfast was above average, and the... More
