The receptionist that greeted us was very friendly & took her time explaining the benefits/what to expect during our stay. The hotel was very clean & beautifully decorated. The lemon drop I received at The Kiln was delicious!

My stay at The Heron was absolutely amazing! The architecture and design of the hotel and room was breath taking. The on site restaurant and speakeasy provided spectacular cuisine and cocktail options. Rosie was an absolute gem and made my experience one I will not soon forget. I will definitely be back.

Loved my stay. Needed a cork screw in my room. Really would have been great to see the speak easy but you allowed a party to book a private event. So inconsiderate.

Great cozy hotel in the heart of Alexandria! Every major site/restaurant is within walking distance, which we love! I’d rather stay here than at the MGM across the river.
