Residence Inn by Marriott Alexandria Old Town South at Carlyle

8/10 Good

"The layout, cleanliness, and decor of the room was excellent. Access pillows were a little bit hard and lumpy. The one negative would be that the parking is $40 a night, so we chose a nearby parking garage for eight dollars a night which was about a five minute walk. Coming from the parking garage, the access to the lobby was poor. The breakfast was good with eggs, oatmeal, and some fresh fruit."
