The staff here is very good, and it's truly right next to a metro station. Starbucks, other mall type amenities across the street. And the room was pleasant. It's a good choice. The lobby sometimes smells like chlorine from the pool, but frankly...there are worse things it could smell like. more

I have been bringing between 14-28 high school seniors to D.C. every winter over the last 12 years. For the last 10 years we have stayed at the Holiday Inn Alexandria because of it's great location, reasonable prices, exceptional service, and a group coordinator "Jen" who can make anything happen. I have recommended this hotel to family, friends and other... more

Our family had a pleasant experience at this hotel. We chose it for convenience and price. What we got was: a hotel that was easy to find with easy parking; easy walking distance to the Metro for traveling into DC within minutes; a surprisingly friendly staff with a very clean room. Our 9 year old son loved the pool. The... more

This is one of the most customer oriented hotels I have ever experienced. This, coupled with its mid-range price, makes it an idea destination for the cost conscious. I have been staying at this hotel almost monthly for going on 7 plus years. While it is not a 5 star hotel, it is comfortable, located within walking distance of the... more

This place is horrible, bedbugs, bugs flying around the hotel and the carpet was worn and dirty. When you contacted the manager, they just sighed and offered to give our money back. We took the money, checked out of the hotel and ran around Alexandria at midnight to find another hotel room. Mind you we had small kids with us... more

This hotel is only 2 blocks from the Eisenhower stop for the Yellow line of the DC Metro with lots of parking. It is an older (built in 1966) building, has an inhouse restaraunt, a lounge, and some meeting rooms. The restaraunt serves breakfast and dinner (don't know about lunch). The staff is friendly and prompt, the food ok. All... more

I would write about the overall state of the hotel (on the dumpy side) or the service (reservations were messed up when we arrived), but there is nothing to say beyond this: BEDBUGS. My wife noticed the first in the bathroom and we thought "gross...but not totally unusual to find a bug in the bathroom..: Then we saw another...and another...then... more

My husband and I were strong armed into staying here due to wedding party arrangements, but we don't want anyone else to inadvertently walk into the situation that we did. To begin, during our stay, two sets of our relatives were forced to leave in the middle of the night due to a bed bug infestation in their rooms on... more

I stayed for one night at this hotel for business, and it was selected based on location, plus the fact that there really weren't any very bad reviews here. After staying there once, I'll look for someplace else next time. This hotel isn't bad, it's just dated and worn looking. Check in was relatively efficient, once I found the lobby... more
