Hotels in Alexandria

Positiv:: Nice large rooms with shower and bath in separate rooms. Good hot breakfast in the morning. Accomodating staff, and free shuttle service to and pickup from the metro stop and mearby restaurants.

Negativ:: The sliding doors to the shower and toilet areas don't latch and tend to roll open by themselves. Our thermostat did not eork eell and we alternately froze and overheated all night. The fold out couch bed is handy, but so uncomfortable my kids wouldn't sleep in it after one night. They slept in the bed with me instead.

Positiv:: This is a nice hotel with great amenities. The hotel is very clean and feels new. The breakfast is pretty standard continental fare but we enjoyed it for all 4 days. The rooms have microwaves and refrigerators which was nice. Parking was free and plentiful. The Eisenhour metro station is a 10-15 minute walk down the street, but there is a shuttle call to take you to and from the station. We rode into the Mall everyday for about $6/person which beat the hassle and cost of parking downtown. There was an AMC next to the metro station with several resteraunts so we would eat there most nights and see a movie. Parking there is free in the evenings. Great location for us, very helpful staff, excellent stay.

Positiv:: Clean room. Separate shower with large mirror, sink and counter/storage space along with separate room containing toilet with small sink and mirror is excellent for allowing more than one person to prepare for the day and other obvious reasons as well. Both of those rooms had good fan powered ventillation. Microwave oven in room along with refrigerator that kept items cold. Close access to metrorail and freeway. Located in area that at night is quiet with very little traffic. Some enclosed parking available at ground level under building. Beds were comfortable. In room wireless internet worked excellant. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

Negativ:: Shower head needs more water pressure. Desk/lounge area of suite was adequate but would be nice if it were more spacious. No small kitchenette with sink. This is not a biggie for me but would make an extended stay and/or food prep more accommodating. Finally, also not a biggie but would be good idea is to have adjustable volume speaker by bed farthest from television as it would allow less volume to satisfy viewer from that spot. Overall, above average room and experience.

Positiv:: Staff was very pleasant and professional.The rooms were clean and spacious.

Negativ:: The breakfast needs improvement, it was below average.

Positiv:: Spacious rooms, comfortable bed. The shuttle service is great and very accomodating whenever we needed it. Metro station is close by. Front desk staff was very nice. Liked having coffee available in lobby 24 hours.

Negativ:: No vending machines in the hotel and nowhere close (walking) to buy anything. They have the little market shop in the hotel with exhorbitant prices! Smokers are allowed to smoke right outside the main door....which is also where we had to wait for the shuttle. One time there were 11 people smoking. Ugh! There should be a separate smoking area around the corner.

Positiv:: I enjoyed it all. The staff was wonderful, professional, an informative.

Positiv:: the we stayed in was clean, lots of bedding, and very spacious. the workout equipment were top line and worked well.

Positiv:: the staff, very polite and helpful except for lady who ran breakfast . She was not friendly or approachable

Negativ:: see above

Positiv:: Everything is excellent！Breakfast is good，room is nice and clean，perfect fit for us（we are 2 adults and 2 kids）！I would high recommend the Homewood！

Negativ:: A little bit far away from metro station，however there's free shuttle every 30 minutes，but only 14 seats available，need book a seat before you go！

Positiv:: Good size room.

Negativ:: Breakfast on the weekdays is not as good as the weekend.

Positiv:: Breakfast was great for a family. Staff was friendly.

Positiv:: The kitchen area is beautiful,all the kitchen supplies you need.

Negativ:: No

Positiv:: We will try to find Homewood Suites by Hilton everytime we go somewhere now. The Staff went out of their way to see that everything was okay. The staff was so very friendly. Our room was awesome. The dinner and breakfast buffet was awesome.

Negativ:: This was our first time at this hotel and truly loved everything about it. Again,we will try to stay at this hotel again. It was well worth our money. Compared to other hotels we felt the price was great for what we got.

Positiv:: Arrived by train at 915AM on check in day, expecting to leave bags and check in later, what a pleasant surprise to find out a room was ready and we could move in. The staff were all friendly and helpful, the breakfast was a great start to our day, and was by no means meager pastries and fruit, but eggs, sausage, potatoes, waffles, French toast,, oatmeal, grits, and more! The nightly managers reception with drinks, and snacks was a great touch to the end of the day. The hotels location could not be more convenient for travel, Amtrak, and D.C. Metro stations mere steps away, in addition to the The King Street free Trolley. I saw many families enjoying the Hotels amenities as well. We did not park here but the price seemed comparable or less than other area hotels, the price for our Amtrak tickets was about what it would have cost to park, without fuel costs or a stressful drive from Norfolk. Nothing fell short of our expectations, and we will likely make this trip again.

Positiv:: This hotel does a wonderful free Breakfast with made to order food and a very efficient staff. The manager receptions at night are also done very well. Good location for access to Old Town Alexandria and the DC Metro.

Negativ:: The property charges $28 per night for parking in the facility underneath the hotel. There really is no other available parking for this hotel. The parking is dangerous and has overally small spaces in between large concrete pillars. Not only are you paying too much but the parking is impossible. Too many handicapped rooms. We were assigned one when we didn't want one at all. We also were not given the bed type on our reservation. Management didn't care. We were part of a party of 13 people staying at the hotel for an event.

Positiv:: We were welcomed by a very friendly receptionist, her name was Leah. She was very helpful in checking us in.

Positiv:: Staff did a fabulous job at the free breakfast buffet. They were efficient, friendly, and cheerful amidst a sea of families there over the July 4th weekend. 8 floors, but elevators are extremely efficient. Beautiful atrium. Very close to King Street Metro Station for easy access to DC attractions. Also right off King Street, the main drag in Old Town Alexandria. About a mile's worth of interesting shops and restaurants to walk down to get to the Potomac River. Great place to stay!

Negativ:: TV channels somewhat limited and a bit fuzzy.

Positiv:: We stayed here for the first time and just one night. We were two couples, one mature and one young; reserved for a Studio but Reception Desk pleasantly upgraded us for a Suite at no extra charge. We were well pleased with cleanliness, space and comfortableness, quietness, view from windows of our room up in the seventh floor. Better yet, the availability of a kitchenette with all the appliances and utensils is a big plus. Sure helps save money preparing our own meals. Great quality, variety and flavor on the breakfast buffet --> excellent! First time we taste an enjoyable free breakfast in a Hotel. Thank you! We will definitely consider returning here on our travels to Connecticut.

Negativ:: Nothing negative at the time; we just stayed for one night.

Positiv:: Comfortable and clean

Negativ:: Children in next room up til 3 am making lot of noise in and out and running up and down the hall

Positiv:: Professional staff!

Positiv:: comfort, convenience to Inova Mt Vernon Hospital, staff

Positiv:: Tris hotel was very clean and the staff was very friendly! The breakfast was great. You can't go wrong with this hotel.

Positiv:: The staff was helpful and friendly, the room was clean and comfortable (we did have some issues with the key cards working intermittently), they served a good and varied breakfast, and the hotel was close to loads of restaurants.

Negativ:: The door locks may need to be updated or the key cards cleaned or something because of the aforementioned intermittent working. The shower curtain could be a bit longer (creating bathroom puddles was difficult to avoid). This hotel also has a little sign in the bathroom where they tell you they support the environment and to hang up your towels if you want to reuse them. The cleaning staff ignores this. You're towels will be replaced. I'm quibbling here, though. There really wasn't much of anything to complain about.

Positiv:: Great staff, good breakfast, and super clean all throughout the hotel. The room was spotless, plenty of room, larger than usual hotel room refrigerator, very comfortable bed. This is our new favorite hotel to stay at when we visit Alexandria/DC area.

Negativ:: No spa. Limited parking for the front entrance area for initial check-in but lots of parking all around the hotel with additional external doors accessible by room keys. A bit of a drive to DC but not too bad after all.

Positiv:: Continental breakfast was pretty diverse front desk was nice easy to get extra towels great location on highway 1 love the free parking, wifi, and breakfast

Negativ:: The shower was hard to get the right temperature and no fan in bath for humidity business facilities had no fax and the hotel's one was down bed was super firm

Positiv:: It's the best location, and a good value. We always stay there. Personnel are so nice and accommodating.

Positiv:: Room was ok

Negativ:: Parking was expensive for the area. Fire alarm went off at 3am. View was not good for the price

Positiv:: Roomy, location, reasonably clean, decent service, frequent shuttles, next to premium 24hr grocery, bike share across the street.

Negativ:: Metro was 10 minute hike away.

Negativ:: The hotel scheduled a wedding which lasted well into the morning hours, keeping many guests from being able to sleep, including us. There were many complaints to the switchboard, but the manager was not present, and the employees were not empowered to do much.

Positiv:: The location, the surrounding stores, the room, the balcony (cost less than $10 extra) and the balcony view, the customer service, the cleanliness...no complaints at all. We were VERY IMPRESSED and will be back when in town!

Positiv:: Overall the experience was pleasant, rooms are nice, front desk help is always very nice. Your shower water pressure is excellent and a big deal :). Rooms are satisfactory.

Negativ:: Your bar area seemed a little blah. It could use a bit of a face lift. The bartender was also not bad, but slow and not engaging.

Positiv:: executive lounge breakfast was good very nice suite of rooms staff very helpful

Negativ:: noisy fan is the shower and in the hall

Positiv:: Room was comfortable and the amenities were great!

Negativ:: Parking garage elevators were under construction, which meant a lot of walking from garage to lobby.

Positiv:: Beautiful room! Very spacious and enjoyable. Two TVS!!! :)

Positiv:: Liked the pre check in service via phone, vouchers for housekeeping, helpful staff, great beds, set up of room

Positiv:: King Size bed and suite very comfortable.

Negativ:: Keys worked inconsistently for garage & Club Room, and at check out, I was unable to change from the original credit card I offered, to a different one I preferred. Pillows too soft Absolutely HATED the limitation of TV channels available so paid for movies could be pushed on guest.

Positiv:: Location was great

Negativ:: She didn't like the small towels. We stayed at a Courtyard Marriott in Baltimore and the had huge towels.

Positiv:: Everything

Positiv:: Free shuttle to .Huntington metro made getting around easy.

Negativ:: Wish there was a good breakfast restaurant within walking distance. Breakfast at the hotel was just okay.

Positiv:: Kostenloser Shuttle zur .Huntington Metro machte es einfach.

Negativ:: Wünschte nur, es gäbe ein gutes Frühstücksrestaurant was zu Fuß zu erreichen ist. Das Frühstück im Hotel war nur okay.

Positiv:: The staff was very friendly and helpful. On our arrival, the desk clerk volunteered to move her car so we could use her parking space. Everyone who worked there was exceptionally cheerful.

Negativ:: I thought that the 2 queen size beds appeared to be double and not queens. I checked at the desk and the clerk said that they were queen size.

Positiv:: IT WAS IN A PERFECT LOCATION. THE HOTEL WAS CLEAN AND THE BEDS WERE COMFY. THE STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY. THEY CHANGED MY ROOM TO A BALCONY SUITE WITH A VIEW AND IT MADE THE EXERIENCE EVEN THAT MUCH BETTER. THANKS FOR ACCOMIDATING MY WEEKEND

Negativ:: THERE IS NOTHING BAD ABOUT THIS HOTEL IT WAS A PLEASURE AND DELIGHT TO STAY AT THIS HOTEL. THANKS

Positiv:: The location, close to everything.

Negativ:: N/A

Positiv:: Easy to get to DC, water pressure in the shower was AMAZING, comfortable room, excellent free breakfast (especially the cinnamon rolls).

Negativ:: Mixup about the type of room I reserved, but was resolved. Lot of confusion with the shuttle.

Positiv:: We were really impressed with the room, and how many electrical outlets it had. If a family was staying, each who wanted to charge their cell phone and other devices, there were so many outlets, they could all do it. Breakfast was good too. Great value.

Positiv:: great value, hotel has a hot tub, free parking, free breakfast, room is clean, close to D.C for family trip.

Negativ:: we went down for breakfast around 9am and most everything was gone. not sure if they could keep it better stocked?

Positiv:: The price

Negativ:: It felt like the staff was not quite on top of things. It took them a while to process requests. For example, I tried to purchase items in the store, and they had mis-entered my credit card information.

Positiv:: Great breakfast! The beds were actually really comfortable and the hot water lasted forever! The hotel staff was really nice as well.

Negativ:: Our room was only cleaned 2 of the 4 nights we were there. We asked for more towels every night and it would take 2 hours for them to bring it up to our room. We didn't get hand soap at the beginning of our stay and it took them 2 days to give it to us

Positiv:: Clean, free breakfast

Negativ:: Not much around the area

Positiv:: Best value was shuttle service provided that helped get us back/forth to the nearby Metro station.

Negativ:: A bit pricey for location, rating, but not too surprising for the area, compared to other comps.

Positiv:: Room size

Negativ:: Only plastic plates an silverware for suite kitchen

Positiv:: The only thing that saved this trip was the breakfast. It was excellent.

Negativ:: We waited in the cold for close to an hour for the shuttle which never showed up. We shared a taxi with others who were also waiting. Very Bad Experience. Just before Midnight the fire went off and we had to evacuate. It was a false alarm. KEEP LOOKING!

Positiv:: The kitchen

Negativ:: No
