Our family has stayed here many times. It's great to be so close to the metro / trolley. Many rooms are currently undergoing renovation, so there was a lot of construction going on. Also the breakfast area has been reconfigured since our last visit, so it was a bit difficult to figure out the updated traffic flow (a 'do not enter' sorry of sign was up where the juice and fruit are located, so my son couldn't find it). Otherwise we like this hotel and plan to return in the future.
Not the best. Not horrible. My room was given away although I was booked at least a month in advance. Downgraded without notice and charged the same price. Had to complain after getting to room. Room key took three times to work (going down to desk) before we could get in. Clean 4/5. Cleaning service threw away somethings i needed. Complimentary drinks and breakfast were good. Go for omelets over regular eggs they put out which are wet/mushy.
From before we arrived the service was exemplary. On arrival although we had a wait a while to get checked in the eventual service we received was great. The front of house manager (a male whose name I cannot remember!) was so lovely and even extended his service to taking our bags up to our room due to the lack of bell boys!
The hotels aesthetics were beautiful.
The breakfast was average but as it was free that is not entirely surprising.
We stayed for a wedding and it was absolutely fantastic service. We cannot thank you enough.
The rooms were smaller than expected for a sweet but still a good size and the views were lovely.
Location was great as right across from the train station where you can catch the AMTRAK as well as other trains. You can also hitch a ride on the 'trolley' which is a free bus to the waterfront and back.
Definitely would stay again if in town.
New building right by the King St Metro Stop in Old Town Alexandria. Whole Foods is almost across the street. I had a lovely view of the Masonic Temple from my window. Large, modern rooms with microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker plus coffee and tea supplies. Happy hour with free drinks but not much to nibble on although the hummus and seed crackers were excellent. Best part of my stay was Anna, the breakfast cook who quickly made me a delicious omelette every morning and always offered me side items. She made the stay unforgettable.
The hotel is nice and in a convenient location. Easy access to the train and a short walk to old town. It its a bit more upscale than some of the others i have visited. The staff was nice and the rooms were clean. I would reccomend staying here.
The hotel location is perfect. The metro is across the street which can get you anywhere in DC. There are also a lot of good shops and restaurants in the immediate area. The hotel is beautiful inside with a large open atrium. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Make sure to show up to the bar at 1730 weeknights for a free happy hour. Two beers, three wines, and many house spirits are all free during this time.
Very nice! I enjoyed my stay.
Rooms were clean and had a modern style. I stayed in a one bedroom suite with a living room area.
- King size bed
- Desk with lamp
- Sofa bed
- Two TVs
- 4 chair dinning table with lamp
- Fridge
- Microwave
- Keurig Machine, but didn't get a chance to use it.
It seemed empty. Perhaps it's because I came at an off-season time (Early Sept).
Breakfast was soooo good. Chef who made breakfast was really nice and very welcoming. I had sausages, pancakes and Omelette with cheese, mushroom and Onions. They had a lot of other breakfast choices that I wasn't able to eat.
Receptionist was confusing. They didn't really explain much, I had to ask questions like "When do I pay? " or "How do I check out?" Which turns out I don't have to go to them to check out, they email it to me. How was I supposed to know this, all hotels are different.
Great hotel! Awesome breakfast with made to order eggs, bacon, french toast and even pancakes. Rooms were nice, beds were more than comfortable. Staff were very nice. It is directly across from the Metro which will take you into the heart of DC in 15 minutes. The restraunt located in the hotel has delicious food as well. I would recommend this hotel to anyone in the DC area.
Great Location. Literally across the street from the Metro station (which is also a Trolley stop for the King St trolley). It's a few short blocks from King St (20 min walk to waterfront). It's hard to go wrong with Embassy Suites in general - especially when you're traveling with children - the rooms are large w/separate bedroom and living area, microwave, refrigerator, pool, great breakfast, and evening cocktail reception (kids even enjoy non-alcoholic beverages and snacks). We stay at this location several times a year for 2-3 day visits to Alexandria - they're super busy during the summer which slows down service a bit, but doesn't compromise the quality.
The staff were extremely professional and accommodating. Our room was extremely clean and the snacks and drinks were excellent. Always love staying here!
Liked the hotel. The rooms were nice, well furnished and clean. Bathroom is a little small for a suite. The layout of the hotel is a bit strange. But they have free snacks and drinks nightly which is a nice perk. Never got a chance to get any, but the offer is good. Free WiFi is a bonus
Location of the Hotel is great. Right next to the metro, trolley, and bus transit--within walking distance of plenty food and other stores. Room had a weird smell at first but pretty typical for hotel--the guest in the atrium can get pretty rowdy at night and possibly keep you up. walls are pretty thin too. the pool area was pretty small but servicable. breakfast was pretty decent too. overall a nice experience. can't complain
Room is extremely clean, the staff was friendly except one who was a bit standoffish. Cleaning staff were helpful as I couldn't get my door open the first time. Parking has a parking garage fee of $32 per day. Hotel is a few steps from train, bus and trolley station. Breakfast has many options and complimentary happy hour is great.
