Booked this hotel on points, and was not disappointed. Very nice room, large with kitchen facilities. No restaurant on site, but many are close by. Very friendly and helpful staff. Free parking, which is nice in the Washington area. Very close to Mount Vernon, and the Amtrak Auto-Train station in Lorton.
Thank you for staying with us and providing your feedback. All of our spacious suites feature kitchens with full size dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave oven, and two burner stove top. We look forward to having you back the next time you're in the area!
This hotel is very clean and I received very warm smiles, the hotel had a scent of pure relaxation. When I signed in the gentleman(Christian Hawks) was that all my needs had been met and Mr. Hawks made sure my room was perfect. Close to Ft. Belvoir and nice eatery's around the area as well.
Thank you for staying with us and providing your feedback. I am pleased to hear that Mr. Hawks was warm and welcoming. We look forward to having you back the next time you're in the area!
We stayed for one night and it was better than expected with the kitchen.
It gave us ideas for longer stays.
Pro:
very clean
very comfortable, especially for a longer stay
roomy with kitchen, desks, lounger chair, refrigerator
Seemed nicely setup for longer stays.
Nice furniture.
Staff seemed very friendly
Great view of a bald eagle from the parking lot.
Very nice pantry for those quick items w/o going out.
Very quiet, except for refrigerator.
Great temperature control
It just felt good and comfortable.
Cons:
Shower curtain not long enough & flooded floor
Not the most attractive styling inside
View to west has burned-out hotel, not too bad.
Did not have breakfast included, but kitchen was helpful as we packed our own breakfast
noisy refrigerator.
Quirky left turn from parking lot (go to next door hotel & turn left.)
Parking a bit weird, but ok
Route 1 construction, but ok in front of hotel.

Front desk staff rude, unresponsive and ill prepared. One young lady in particular made it very evident that guests were an unwelcome inconvenience. She took what could have been a pleasant stay and turned it unpleasant very quickly.

My family came for a weekend getaway to D.C. We wanted to stay a little bit away from all the hustle and bustle and decided to stay at the Candlewood. I spoke with Menar upon arrival and she was amazing. She upgraded us to a suite because there were 5 of us... That was awesome! Our room was very nice and perfect for our needs. When we left Frederick the manager was personable and thanked us for our stay and my service. I would 100% stay here again. Thanks Candlewood in Alexandria!
Thank you for your feedback from your recent stay with us. I am pleased to hear that you had a wonderful stay. I will pass on your kind words to the rest of the staff. We look forward to having you again, the next time you're in the area!
