“Convenient and inexpensive for business overnight”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

There are a number of expensive hotels in Alexandria where you can walk to restaurants and shopping, but this is not one of them. It is located adjacent to the expressway and a busy series of ramps and service roads. In short, this is not a walk-around hotel but a convenient business stop. The rates are lower than the more central hotels and there is FREE parking. My room was clean and comfortable, with windows overlooking the expressway - there was some sound of traffic but on the 5th floor it did not pose a distraction. WiFi was easy to access. There is a "bistro" short-order restaurant in the lobby, but otherwise you will need to drive to eat. If you drive north on Eisenhower you will pass a number of restaurants and if you take Eisenhower to the traffic circle, go 270 degrees to basically turn left onto Holland, then right on Duke, and then any left to take you 2 more blocks to King, where you will find restaurants and shops.

Room Tip: The corner rooms have two windows overlooking traffic.

“Updated Marriott Property”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

We had a spacious suite at this property. We loved the room setup. We didn't have breakfast downstairs, but it seemed to be fairly standard. This location was easily accessible to the highway, stores and DC. We enjoyed our stay.

“loved our room”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

We stayed one night here and really enjoyed our room. It was in perfect condition and had a beautiful view of the neighborhood. The hotel was a little tricky to find using our old GPS, but we eventually got there!

“Loud!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

I was in town for 1 night for a funeral and needed to get some work done prior to the visitation. I was on the second floor - I could hear street noise, as well as people speaking very loudly in the hall all night.
I do not complain when on-site, but I would not recommend this to anyone.

The cafe staff did not understand their own menu or simple bar requests (standard mixed drink), flat bread on menu and they tried to give me pita chips (charged extra for what was on the menu) and drinks were more water.

No answer when calling the cafe either.

Front desk did call me a taxi, but that was a nightmare too. I requested a car service and received a Yellow Cab that was to take credit cards (I carry no or little cash). The driver complained. That he needed the $ for gas.......

The ride was going to Jefferson Funeral home was without tip $22 and he dropped me off in front making me walk across the grass which was wet from the rain. The ride back cost me $13 with tip! Clearly different drivers. Will use private serve in the area again.

“Nice, simple hotel with easy access to D.C.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

We stayed at this hotel for a weekend in October. The rooms are simple and clean, but quite nice as the hotel has been recently updated.

There is not much in the immediate area but the metro stop is a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Old Town is a 5 minute ride on the Metro and D.C. is about a 30 minute ride. The hotel also offers a shuttle to the metro for those who don’t want to walk there, but it really is only a 5 minute walk. I recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the D.C. area. Overall, it really is a great value for the money
