The hotel must be old because I've felt drafts everywhere; from the room to the restaurant. All of the staff have been very helpful and more than friendly. The breakfast buffet isn't bad for a $7 charge but nothing spectacular....you get what you pay for. I would stay here again if needed but I have some other hotels in the area that I prefer.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Alexandria SW hotel (room 724) for four nights (Friday, January 18 through January 21, 2013). We ate at the hotel’s Dutch Grill for 3 of four nights. The only real disappointment was when I had to return my steamed broccoli because it was not hot enough for me. The dish was heated and returned to me quickly. It was then good and hot. Otherwise all breakfasts and other dinners were acceptable.

Occasionally the housekeeper left trash in the room and did not clean an empty soap dish. Otherwise the Housekeeping service was acceptable.

We used the hotel’s free shuttle service to go to and from the Metro stations “King St.” and “Eisenhower Ave.” The drivers were punctual, knowledgeable and friendly.

There was ample free parking.

We are looking forward to staying there again.

This is the perfect place to kick your feet up and relax. The staff is very welcoming and pleasant. Their Customer service is refreshing-especially in this day and time of rush around and rudeness. The Staff fully demonstrate that the customer is really the focus at this hotel by superior service. They truly aim to please you with fast room service and delicious food. The room was so neat and clean- I can't wait to visit again.

My husband recently started staying here when working Out of town and I decided to join him a couple of times. The staff has been courteous, helpful, and friendly whether it is the front desk, the restaurant/bar, or the cleaning staff. The
rooms are quite clean and the hotel is steps away from the yellow line, a movie theater, and some cute restaurants. Highly recommend it.
