Parking was easy and convenient. The room was clean, unfortunately the sink was slow draining and I am not sure what was with the elevated toilet seat. Overall a nice room, bathroom is due for a refresh. The room heating/cooling system was very loud, probably not much that can be done about that. The staff were friendly and helpful!

Room was fine and staff was friendly and attentive. It’s an old hotel but it was OK. The best thing about it was the location. We were there for the Celtic Christmas Walk and the hotel is right at the reviewing stand. Biggest complaint was trying to keep the room at a constant temperature that we wanted

My wife and I love having our staycations in Old Town, and we love staying at the Alexandria Old Town. The staff was and always is exceptional, plus our room was spotless. We even decided last minute to extend our stay another night, and it was super easy to do that while remaining in our room! There is only one other hotel that we frequent in Old Town, and it is also in the Autograph collection!

I stay in Alexandria often and usually book the Alexandrian. I have watched this hotel slowly go down hill in the last 5 years. The rooms are majorly outdated, Art missing from the walls, the AC leaked all over our room two stays ago. I gave it one more chance this stay and don’t see any reason to keep coming here.

Lovely hotel. Breakfast is NOT free. Dinner was excellent but top dollar. The King Street neighborhood in Old Town is, however, packed with great restaurants (e.g., The Fish Market, Gadsby’s Tavern, many others) so lots of options. 4 blocks east is the Torpedo Factory Arts Center, a must-see.

Hotel was very nice and location is great. However check- in on two different days was horrendous and took 15-30 minutes the two days. Expedia was great on the second day getting a reservation explained to the staff but the 2 women at the desk were completely inept.

I have no complaints about the hotel itself but check-ins on 2 days were both horrible. I had made reservations on Expedia for 2 rooms on a Friday for 2 days and another room on Sat for 1 night. The desk clerks were completely incompetent and could not understand. On the second day I had to get Expedia to call them and get it straightened out. If the hotel does not want to work with travel site websites, they should take their hotel off of them. It took 15 minutes to check in the first day and a good 1/2 hour the second day. Then my daughter-in-law went to the garage to charge her electric car - does the charg
