The Alexandrian Old Town Alexandria, Autograph Collection

I am glad I didn’t pay full price ($350/night) for this. Great location and everything looks nice from the outside and the lobby. The room is decent from the looks but once you stay in there, you will realized nothing is working properly. The AC/Heater was not working, the control for the AC/Heater doesn’t work so the AC was blasting cold air all night on NYE!!! So we were both freezing and it was 2am! The TV only have 5 channels and 2 are the same as the other 2, so in reality only 3 channels. The TV quality is also very outdated. Feel like we were watching TV from the 80s/90s when it was the actual 2024 NYE concerts. And on the 5th channel, it is just showing how DirectTV subscription is expired, like what? The Wifi in the room is not free unless you are a Bonvoy member. There was less than a quarter roll of toilet paper on the Tp dispenser and they also didn’t provide a second roll. The body wash pump was empty and the shampoo ran out. The bottom side of the toilet seat looks very filthy as if they haven’t clean that part of the toilet seat in a while. The floor of the bathroom was also very dirty. We usually check if we can ask for a late check-out the night before, but we called the front desk with no answers. When they finally answered, they said we have to call back at 7am to let us know. Ehh Hello? The whole point of getting a late check out is so we can sleep in? So I had to set an alarm to call back at 7am to get a 1pm check out. It was a bit annoying. This was a big disappointment for me because this was supposed to be a nice hotel from Marriott as the Autograph Collection. Especially for $350 a night in the middle of Old Town Alexandria, I had expected better quality. Not to mention the chaos during check-in. Seems like there were only 4 workers there for HUNDReDs of customer. People were angry about being stuck in the parking garage and no one can help them and they gave a lady a room that currently already have someone checked-in. Apparently the lady opened the door when the guy was showering in the room. What a chaos!

Perfect location and attentive staff. I greatly appreciated the care Bezat and Betty took to make our stay enjoyable!

Hotel was nice. The front desk staff let me check in early, and was accommodating. One thing that I did not like was the charge for a destination fee. Essentially, I was forced to use their restaurant twice, and that was awful. If I have to return, I will think twice about staying here because of that.

Staff was incredibly kind and informative while helping us prep for our first visit (navigate parking, early check in, and even just finding a wine bottle opener on a Sunday night). Beautiful decor and style to match a gorgeous colonial area, walking distance to too many restaurants and shops to get to if you had two weeks to invest. Many thanks for a great stay.

The room had an attic feel which wasn’t horrible, although the blinds were broken. Additionally, the walls were so thin, we could hear our neighbors returning from being out after 2am and their detailed conversation about Cinnabon. The bed had a built-in pillow topper that made sleeping uncomfortable. There was also the loud hvac system that would start and stop uncontrollably. The central location on King Street does not overlook the negatives.

The property is a bit dated, however the rooms were very clean, friendly staff and the location is absolutely prime. You are in the middle of Oldtown and within walking distance to many restaurants. Our faves, Murphy’s Irish bar, The Warehouse, and the Chart House.

Had some noise coming from ceiling in our room, not sure what it was but it was happening all night. Otherwise the hotel is really nice and great location. Parking isn't too bad but DO NOT drive a tall vehicle in there. I think the max height is under 6 ft. The Wi-Fi wasn't free which I thought was the most annoying part.

No vending machines or any way to get a drink or snack if the restaurant is closed.

December 31st reservations. Upon arriving at the hotel parking garage we discovered there was absolutely NO vacant parking spaces. We learned that free public fireworks were taking place and that people watching the fireworks with no hotel reservations were using parking spaces intended for hotel guests. It was more than disappointing. Other than that our hotel stay was excellent.
