Best hotel in Old Town

This is a beautiful, modern hotel. The staff here is so accommodating and helpful. The location is great. We had an issue with a room and they moved us over and comped a night no questions asked. This is our hotel of choice when we are are in the area.

Did not like the view from our $300 room of a dirty roof. Had to pull the curtains. Our group ordered $75 worth of appetizers at bar…they forgot to put in our order. So got them 45 minutes later with no adjustment to the bill, although I talked with the manager. We had reserved 5 rooms… upon check out, two of the rooms had mini bar charges on them totaling $70, which was an error. One room we were given was a handicapped room…not requested. Excellent food in restaurant. Nice people at front desk. Very dark lobby, so first impression is not positive. Lounging/sitting areas were nice. Cafe was good. Will try someplace else next time we are in Old Town Alexandria.

A reservation doesn't mean much here

I reserved a king suite for 3 nights. I was contacted at 4:05pm via text (the day of check-in) to inform us that they were sold out of suites and I would be reassigned to a king room with a Juliet balcony. The difference between the suite and king room is significant. I was offered $50 per night as a food/beverage credit for this inconvenience. The reason for this was that the guests in the suite we reserved had a flight cancellation so they were staying in the room an extra night. I asked why the guests whose plans had changed weren't asked to move to the downgraded room we were offered instead since they did not have a reservation. They said it is their policy not to ask guests to change rooms. And yet, that's exactly what they asked us to do. It's an unfair policy in my opinion. Once we were moved to the suite we reserved the next day, everything was ok. However, the initial experience of being reassigned to another room left us with a bad experience in this hotel overall.
