The hotel has a convenient location close to both Old Alexandria and the Ronald Reagan airport. The rooms are decent, but not upscale, with just the right furnishings. The service was knowledgeable and helpful, especially about parking rules. The dining experience, although satisfactory, lacked variety in dishes. The facilities are well-maintained, offering a pleasant stay overall.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. My room, although it wasn't ready at first, eventually faced the water, offering a spectacular sunrise view. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. However, Wi-Fi is only available in the lobby, which was a minor inconvenience.

My stay at the hotel was quite delightful. The rooms were spacious with lots of mirrors, good air conditioning, and a satisfactory bathroom. The king bed was very comfortable, and the ergonomic desk chair was a nice touch. Despite the sink stopping up and the lack of a fridge or microwave, the room was well soundproofed and cozy.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room, although on the upper floors with a stunning view over the Potomac and US Capital, felt overpriced. The service was exceptional, with the staff being born and raised in the DC area and very friendly and helpful. The location was convenient, near the river and within walking distance to various attractions. However, the dining options were not particularly impressive.

The hotel's location is fantastic, with easy access to exploring Old Town Arlington and a variety of dining options. While the rooms were clean and had all the necessary amenities, the air conditioning needed attention. The service was inconsistent, with some staff members being welcoming while others were rude. Overall, a decent stay but not the best value for money.

The hotel offers nice, clean rooms with good linens and ample space to move around. The location is excellent, with free airport shuttles and easy access to the metro for exploring the old town. Although the rooms are slightly dated, they were well-maintained and reasonably priced, especially with rewards membership benefits. However, the noise from the nearby ice machine was a disturbance throughout the night.

The hotel staff was really nice and helpful, and I loved the breakfast that came with the room. However, the room was a bit on the cool side, and even after calling guest services, they couldn't quite address the issue properly. The location is very good, with attractions nearby, but some aspects were not up to standard.

The hotel is located in a wonderful spot near Reagan National Airport and close to the charming Kings Street in Old Town Alexandria. The rooms offer a fabulous view and are beautifully decorated, though the air conditioning unit can be too strong with the fan on high. The service at the front desk was exceptional, but there were some delays in acknowledging guests at times. Dining options were limited to sushi and room service, which came with the room purchase. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, contributing to a comfortable stay.

The hotel has a great location, with close proximity to dining, shopping, and entertainment options. The rooms may need some updating but are still decent. The service provided by the staff is helpful and informative, though there were some concerns about other guests' behavior. The location offers convenience and safety, with easy access to transportation and nearby attractions. The dining experience lacked variety but was satisfactory. The facilities are functional but not overly impressive.

My stay at the hotel was average. The rooms were clean but had some issues like peeling wallpaper and tiles falling off in the bathroom. The price they wanted to charge per night didn't match the room condition. However, the staff was courteous and well-organized. The hotel's location was convenient for accessing old town spots but might not be ideal for travelers without a car. The dining experience was mediocre, and the facilities were just okay.
