i booked 5 weeks at westin alexandria but after the 1st night, i cancelled the remaining 4 weeks and tried another starwood hotel in the same town. (will write about that later.) westin alexandria is excellent in most aspects, especially locations (close to subway), except two major shortcomings: 1. their complimentary breakfast is really tiny - a cup of orangze...

We stayed at the Westin for two weeks prior to a big move, and we were so so pleased with everything about the hotel. Along with our young son, we were made to feel very welcome every day in all of the facilities--restaurant, lobby, pool, etc. Being an Alexandria local, I liked the hotel's location, as it was a quieter...

The Westin Alexandria is a 5Star+ hotel that offers every amenity a hotel guest requires. The hotel is 4 years old, and is part of a new well appointed business development in the newly rebuilt Courthouse Square district of the city. The hotel provides free shuttle service to the historic water-front on the Potomac. While a guest at the hotel... More

Stayed at this Westin for a week on buisness. Please let me preface this "review" with the fact that I got sick on the second night of my stay, NOT due to anything whatsoever in or around the hotel, it was a reaction to the food at an Olde Town restaurant that lasted 4 days. Anyway, this hotel was very... More

Hotel is great place, the staff was incredibly friendly and the room was clean & very nice. However, there is no free wifi in the rooms, only in the hotel lobby. The gym was currently "Under Construction"; however the hotel made nice accommodations for the guests to work out. I did not eat in the restaurant and breakfast was not... More

The hotel is a perfectly good hotel for a business trip. However, there were two problems with connectivity. I paid for Internet, and it worked fine in the room. But when meeting with colleagues in the lobby, I had to go through a big song and dance to get a connection--the paid room connection didn't extend to the lobby--, and... More

A disgrace to the Westin name! Stayed in this hotel for a conference 3 times over a 3 year period. Was wonderful for my first stay. Bad for second & worse for third. Have mold & dust mite allergies. Awoke swollen faced & staff could not remedy sanitation over mutli-day stay. Many on staff members were derisive at best. Had... More

Everyone we had contact with at this hotel was friendly and helpful and not in a fake manner. They seemed genuinely nice and warm. The lobby is gorgeous and the hotel is near a train station to get you into D.C. The rooms were nicely appointed but small. Housekeeping was great and everything was very clean. It is in a... More

I reviewed this hotel highly several months ago, thinking it would be my next "go to" hotel for staying in Alexandria visiting family. However, stayed here for the Thanksgiving holiday and they've instituted a (new?) pet-friendly policy and had the misfortune to be placed in a room next to an incessantly barking dog....started at 8 a.m. on Saturday and did...
