Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 14 Oct 2010 rated 6 out of 10.

All in all the room was adequate.

Positives: They didn't have a microwave on the room, but when asked they provided one for free.

Negatives: The room didn't have a microwave or fridge which are basic. The corridor was not clean.

The hotel was okay, but not great. Besides the outrageous parking charge, the main entrance doors to the room elevators were not powered quite a hassle with luggage, the TV channel selection was more limited than any hotel I’ve ever stayed in and in a hotel that size they claimed they had no king-size beds available. During the two weeks I was there the soda machine was empty every day. The only highlight was the friendly housekeeping staff and the job they did cleaning the room.

<BR/>

Positives: Location across from grocery and liquor store.

Negatives: They charged nearly 50% of my room rate to park my car.

I recommend this hotel because of the good service, clean rooms, comfortable beds, and great food. Couldn't have asked for a better hotel.

Positives: The cleanliness and comfort

Negatives: Had to pay for parking

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 01 Nov 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

Clean with friendly staff. Parking at $15 a day was expensive. Elevators; one was broken the whole week, the other was slow.

Positives: Friendly staff.

Negatives: Broken elevator, water dripping in parking area.

It's under construction/renovation (extreme). The garage area was dangerous. I had to change rooms for non-working TV & A/C. The outlook for post-renovation isn't good. The newly renovated rooms are at best 1/2 stars. The bathrooms are cramped so much that whether the door is open or closed determines whether you can use the toilet or tub.

Positives: Exterior was very attractive.

Negatives: It's under construction.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 04 Sep 2008 rated 4 out of 10.

The parking garage was mostly filled with construction materials and equipment. The elevators didn't work half the time and would sometimes even get stuck. In all fairness, the room was very nice, comfortable and clean although the lighting in the bathroom area left something to be desired.

Positives: The room was clean.

Negatives: Common areas torn apart, elevators did not work half the time, little to no parking.

This hotel was having a complete make-over. It was dirty (because of the work in progress) and elevators did not always work. It certainly was not conducive to a good stay/dining experience. I felt sorry for the staff who was doing their best to cope. I am also aware some guests left early because of the poor conditions. I am sure once the work is finished it will be a nice hotel.

Positives: NA.

Negatives: NA.

Nice hotel in a great location. Great staff. Friendly and very accommodating. The current construction activities were sort of messy, but this was still much better than most Holiday Inns. It was so bad I left after the 2nd night of a 5 day stay.

Positives: Flat screen TV, beds, cleanliness.

Negatives: Hotel is being upgraded so there was a lot of construction debris.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 30 Aug 2008 rated 6 out of 10.

It was under construction, but the staff made it very bearable for us. Room was clean and quiet. Beware the elevator doors--they shut before you can enter or exit!

Positives: Great location, being renovated, across from grocery store, close to DC tours and Old Town; free shuttle.

Negatives: Under renovation, tight parking spaces, unreliable elevators.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 24 Aug 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

Although a great price in a great location, the hotel is undergoing a complete over haul. Common spaces are closed, access to the parking garage limited.

Positives: Great location.

Negatives: Hotel is under total renovation.

The people was nice and helpful.

Positives: It was just a place to lay down. Nothing different about it.

Negatives: It was dirty.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 21 Jul 2008 rated 4 out of 10.

NA.

Positives: Person at the check in was very helpful/friendly.

Negatives: Not that great of a location, lobby was kind ghostly and dark.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 04 Jun 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

Overall, really nice for price. I was taken a back when I found out parking in the hotel lot costs $15 per day. But there was ample parking on the street. Right across from a Giant grocery store, too. Very convenient. Too few cable channels, but we didnt' have time for much TV watching anyway.

Positives: Coffee maker in room, staff very friendly.

Negatives: Not enough cable TV channels.

It's a fine hotel, not so close to a Metro station, but they have a shuttle. They only had smoking rooms available when I checked in, but the staff they to clean the smell for us. They also offer to change rooms nest night. I didn't use the dining facilities in the Hotel. It's a nice walk to Old town Alexandria, where you have several choices.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Smoking rooms.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 28 May 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

Not sure is three stars was appropriate for the sparsely decorated rooms, however, if our kids would have been with us, the size of the rooms would have been a definite plus. Not a super looking place, but a very good value for near Old Town Alexandria, and shuttle bus was accommodating and very friendly driver made ride enjoyable.

Positives: Desk staff very helpful and pleasant.

Negatives: Rooms not attractive, but large for D.C. area, and pretty clean.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 28 May 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

I would recommend it to anyone. Would stay there again. Convenient having a store right across the street and about a mile from small shops. Shuttle to metro.

Positives: Employees were very helpful to accommodate.

Negatives: Parking was bad very tight.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 28 May 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

The beds are nice, but the public spaces are run down. Apparently there will be remodeling in the next year. The worst thing was the shuttle down to King Street left five minutes before we were told to show up.

Positives: Good bed.

Negatives: No soap or shampoo in room, shuttle left before schedule.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 28 May 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

I would stay here again. The staff was friendly. The rooms were clean. Good location as far as walking to restaurants etc. Short drive to the Metro for turning D.C. I would stay here again.

Positives: Friendly staff nice location.

Negatives: $15 pays to park.
