Hampton Inn & Suites Alexandria Old Town Area South

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean though could use some updates. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great and I appreciated that there was turkey sausage available."

Hilton Garden Inn Alexandria Old Town National Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful stay here! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome, and they absolutely adored our dog, Rosie. It’s clear they genuinely love having pets as guests, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and in a great location for exploring Alexandria. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, accommodating, and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed.Traveling with a dog can sometimes be stressful, but this hotel made it effortless. Rosie felt just as welcome as we did, and that meant so much to us. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again the next time we’re in Alexandria. Highly recommend for anyone traveling with pets or simply looking for exceptional hospitality!"

Hotel Heron Alexandria Old Town, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Hotel was clean and very comfortable, but what made it shine was the front desk staff. Stayed for 4 nights and every interaction with each of them was friendly, attentive, professional and supportive. Good location with shopping and food beginning a block away. Only disappointment was lack drawers. Room was plenty big enough for a chest of drawers of some kind that would have helped support our 4-night stay. Would totally stay again and recommend to friends."
