This was our first time staying in a Springhill Suites. The hotel was clean and well kept. The staff were very friendly and helpfull. The front desk staff answered all our transportation questions about getting around the area.
Two draw backs. The shower door didn't seal all the way at the bottom corner and leaked on the floor a little. Not much of a problem if the matt was put in the right spot. The second drawback, there are two Springill Suites in Alexandria. When you search Springhill Suites the other location, with a pool, comes up first. This led me to thinking this location had a pool and it didn't. It is my fault for not checking the address and making sure.
All in all, this was a nice place to stay. It was conveniently located near bus/metro transportation, a grocery store and restaurants.
