The great service started when I called for the shuttle bus to take me to the hotel. The van was there within minutes and Lee, the extraordinarily helpful driver, not only took great care with all of my baggage but also had some very helpful ideas on where to go to get my errands done the next day. Upon my... More

Just returned from several nights here, on college visits with a teenager. I had read mostly great reviews of the place and wanted to add my own pros and cons because I know I always rely on them when booking a hotel. It wasn't bad and was the most reasonably priced place I could find with free breakfast and free... More

The bed in the room had been used, sheets not changed--quite revolting. The desk moved me to another room, but was not pleasant about it, and didn't apologize for the state of the first room. In the second room, the soap had been used. Had prepaid using an online site, so couldn't leave and find an alternative. Be warned--if you... More

I was a little hesitant about staying at a Comfort Inn. I searched for hotels using the American Express Travel feature. The Comfort Inn Alexandria came up as a possibility with in my price range. When I went to purchase the room, AMEX indicated that only the King Size "suite" was available for $170. With some hesitation, I went ahead... More

After checking for a motel all around D.C. for a motel within a certain price range ($100-25) with a free breakfast, WIFI, and a good free shuttle service to a Metro Station, I found this motel. It did not disappoint. We had stayed there before in 2009 and were satisfied then. Since then they have converted several rooms into suites... More

Close enough to DC. They shuttle you to the Metro. Our rental car sat in the parking lot the whole time. Everyone kind. Good breakfast. We all loved it. Our 4 year old wanted to stay. Who was going to do her jobs (pushing elevator button and opening door). "Can't we make this home?" More

I stayed here for 5 days in September whilst I was on a sightseeing holiday. The hotel location is sufficient for seeing all the touristy DC sights. It is close to a Metro station (the Metro system itself is very commendable.) There is a free shuttle to and from the station which is very useful since although the hotel is... More
