We had a '2 double bed' room on the 5th floor. The rooms are small. It probably can't be helped, as the buildings in this area were likely built some time ago. The Hampton is very well kept up and looks new inside.
In our room with 2 double beds, space was tight. The room was squarish and the room was only the width of 3 double beds if they were to be placed side by side. From the foot of the beds to the wall, it measured about 5 feet. With the furniture against the wall taking up some of that 5 feet, we barely had enough floorspace to put the suitcases down and walk by. It was a bit tight for a 2 adults and 2 kids, but it turned out fine. The elevators in the building took forever, but it seems every other hotel these days has an elevator slowdown problem.

On the positive side, the staff are all VERY friendly and pleasant. The front desk staff knew job and were helpful. Our room was quiet as well. Housekeeping was satisfactory every day we stayed there.
This Hampton Inn is at a GREAT location that you can use as a base to visit DC. It's a 5 minute walk over to the Metro station (King Street station). Having the station so close let us get into DC and back again at any hour pretty easily. It's about 20 minute ride into DC on the Metro.

The hotel is right in 'Old Town' Alexandria, which itself can offer a day's worth of sightseeing. There are numerous shops and restaurants along King Street. The area is pleasant and safe at night and we were never accosted by any panhandlers. There was an Italian restaurant called Ristorante Giranio a few blocks away on King St. that we visited twice (moderate price, not cheap).

The garage is accessed by an alley in the back of the hotel and
the front desk can give you a map of how to get back there. Note they charge $10 to park in the garage, not unusual for a downtown area.

In addition to the usual continental breakfast items, there was a different hot, protein item each day. We had pork sausage,
ham, or smoked sausage. There were eggs (done 'over hard') every day.

The overall experience at this hotel was so good that we considered cancelling our reservation with the hotel in downtown DC for the next week and staying the 2nd DC week here as well! But, we had already made plans to meet up with relatives at a hotel in DC itself for the 2nd week.

Aside from the size of the rooms, this hotel is all good!
I would definitely bring my business to this Hampton Inn again!

This hotel has a great location for transportation and restaurants.. We stayed here four days while doing business and sightseeing in Washington DC. The metro station is an easy walk from the hotel. For dinner, we caught the free shuttle to the many good restaurants and bars in the charming old town area. The free continental breakfast had a wide variety of choices. Although we had a standard room, it was still fairly spacious and included an easy chair and ottoman, a desk, and a chair. All the staff members were very friendly and helpful.

We can't say enough good things about this hotel. The room was well-apportioned and very clean. The entire staff for the hotel was very cordial and extremely helpful. The location is perfect for getting around DC. You are a short 2 blocks from the Metro station and 8 blocks from the Old Town area. Access to I95 and I495 is very close and easy to reach. The parking is only an additional $10 per day which is reasonable for the DC area. Locating the garage was difficult prior to checking in, but the staff provided a good map and good directions. We would definitely return to this hotel. Definitely one of the top Hampton Inns that we have stayed at within the past 5 years.

We stayed on a family Spring Break trip.

The location is super for visiting the DC area. The King St. Metro stop, which is co-located with the Amtrak station, is only one block away. It's a very quick trip to downtown DC via the Metro.

The hotel itself is clean and safe, and in a very nice area. The hotel is relatively new, and the rooms are OK.

There are plenty of good restaurants nearby througout Old Town.

The parking is a slight hassle, with a $10 daily charge and the garage is a little cramped. But in my experience, it's not unreasonable for such an urban area.

We will definitely stay again during our next visit to DC.
