WOW!!! That's all I can say about this new hotel in downtown Alexandria. I've seen this hotel thru many names, stages and closings over the last 25 years. It looks better than it ever has! We had guests from out of town that required more space/privacy than we could provide at our home. I decided to put them up at this new Holiday Inn, but only after I checked it out from top to bottom. I was given a complete tour of the stylish lobby area, great bar, Eddies BarBQ, Salon(yes there is a salon with yoga, massage, beauty services)pool, and a room with king bed. I booked 3 nights for our out of town guests. Then I went to the bar and had a great Moscow Mule!
Our guests were blown away by the hotel and its many amenities. I know I'll be back to visit the Eddies BarBQ and the bar! And I already attended a yoga class at the Salon as well. Check it out. This is not your average Holiday Inn. Oh and just one more thing that I found really interesting. There are Tesla charging stations there for electric cars. Two Teslas were there charging up on the last day of our guest visit. How cool is that? It's great to see downtown Alexandria doing well.
