You can tell the management has been working hard on making this a strong property. Communication was great about the amenities and services available. The train station is across the street and plenty of dining options are in the area.
I will recommend this to others heading to the DC area.

This place has a great location for food, shopping and tourist things. The George Washington National Monument is a short walk and in full view of the hotel. Go up the elevator in the monument and get a great 360 degree view! The hotel has great full breakfast, omelette station, free happy hour in the evening, just a great place.....

Excellent if a trifle dated property characterized by superior location and accommodating staff seriously compromised by predatory and confiscatory parking arrangements.
Reviewers from North Carolina have remarked on this deficit. I can only add that local alternatives appear nonexistent. One pays New York prices to park in an underground facility where parking even a compact sedan is a challenge. The...

I chose the Embassy Suites at Old Town since it's in a great location; just across the street from the King Street Metro. I normally have a great stay at Embassy Suites, but this night just didn't measure up. As previously noted, the hotel is undergoing a renovation, so things were a little out of kilter, which I can understand,...

Thank you for your detailed review. As you stated we are still in our renovation stage. We are, however making tremendous progress. Our new restaurant has recently opened for service and is settling in nicely, providing delicious food to hotel guests and neighboring office staff. As we continue updating our hotel throughout the year with a new exercise facility, new...

As a long time resident of the DC area, I've stayed at this property on numerous occasions catching an early flight out of Reagan, staying close to the Pentagon on a snowy night, or, enjoying a quick overnight getaway to blow off a little steam. You can't beat this hotel's location across the street from the King Street Metro and...

Thank you so much for your kind words. Our guests are important to us and when our staff has the opportunity to recognize special days or events in their lives, they do. We value everyone who walks through our doors whether a repeat seasoned traveler like yourself or a first timer and wish to provide friendly and efficient service to...

When I stayed in April 2012, a renovation project was underway. As a result, the morning breakfast was served upstairs in Duke’s Restaurant and not in the Atrium. The temporary set up was crowded, dimly lit and included other compromises like orange juice served in individual plastic containers and a small portable stove for omelettes. The atrium is undergoing renovation...

I thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are fortunate that our renovation efforts are on target and hope to be welcoming our guests to our new breakfast and bar atrium beginning May. We are anxious to get our hotel staff working towards accommodating our guests in our newly renovated area and resolving any issues as...

I have stayed several times at the Embassy Suites in Old Town Alexandria, on business and on vacation, and it is always a pleasing experience. Their breakfast is always nice.This time they were doing some remodeling but, hey, it goes with hotel maintenance. The hotel is across the street from the King St. metro stop and is very convenient to...

Just returned from our family of four's Washington, DC spring vacation, having stayed at the Embassy Suites Alexandria-Old Town for 4 nights. We usually rent an apartment but a last minute snafu forced us to book a hotel.The standard two room suite was a good fit for our family. Our 7 and 10 year old boys had a comfortable sleep...

Thank you for reviewing our property. I am pleased that you were able to stay with us and that your stay was a pleasant one. The City of Alexandria fire code permits 23 guests total in our pool (whether frolicking in the pool or sitting and resting), and as you stated, for the most part, it is sufficient. Although I...

Great location, across from the Metro and at the end of King Street but one received what was paid for at the Manager's reception and breakfast - free hence lacking quality. Not a fan of eating with plasticware or drinking out of cheap foam cups, therefore in addition to the lack of choices at Breakfast please don't advertise the breakfast...

I appreciate that you took the time to write this review. As we are in transition due to the hotel renovations in our atrium, we are using Duke’s Bar and Grill facility for servicing of our complimentary breakfast and bar. We look forward to our new restaurant and breakfast grand opening beginning of May and anticipate wonderful reviews. Our new...

Slightly disappointing trip just a couple of weeks ago. From the last time we were there, the price has risen substantially (100 per night). Last time, no construction, mixed drinks were included in the happy hour, not as crowded. Not that it was terrible, just that pool wasn't open all the time, work out room very small. Breakfast was good...

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. I must admit that “not as good as last time” and “slightly disappointing…”, made me anxious to read on. As of December of 2010 VA ABC law restricted our Manager’s reception drink offerings to free beer and wine and permitted mixed drinks to be sold “at cost” or rounded to...
