Residence Inn by Marriott Alexandria Old Town/Duke Street

This was an excellent hotel stay. The hotel is all thought out and clean. The room was spacious with plenty of space to relax, work, or prepare dinner. My room also had a surprisingly nice view, though I know that isn't the same for every room. The nicest treat was the fitness center. There are two rooms near each other that each surpass what I see in most hotels. My favorite had a video system with access to workout videos and equipment, including spin cycles. Pro tip: the on switch is on the back, left, of the giant TV. The only disappointing part was the challenge of the parking garage. It's fine for the city, but not fun to navigate, plus there is a $40 daily charge. The garage has two sections, Including one you enter from higher up and another that you enter at the lobby level. Each is a little tight and eventually both dead end. It's not the place for a large vehicle. That said, they have nice security gates that work well and are easy to use with an activated hotel key for parking.

Fantastic stay! Thank you for recognizing my Marriott Elite status. The complimentary upgrade based on my status was incredibly comfortable and the room was immensely quiet especially for a holiday! I appreciated the dairy free and gluten free breakfast options due to my allergy and sensitivity. All staff were friendly and helpful. I can see why this hotel is highly rated.

Hotel is well located for downtown Alexandria and a block from the Metro station for DC. A free shuttle service is provided within a mile of the hotel. Can not fault the cleanliness of this hotel and the friendliness of all the staff I encountered during my stay. The room was a good size and the bed comfortable. The breakfast catered for all, excellent choice available. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Great experience. Hotel staff are polite and welcoming. Breakfast options are plentiful. The shuttle within one mile makes the town very convenient. Many places within walking distance as well. The only negative was hearing the elevator all night since we were next to it. Other than that a perfect experience and we would stay there again.

Good service, very nice rooms - large with full kitchen and utensils. You could make food and store plenty in the large fridge. Shuttle available for within one mile service. We used it and it was great. Also parking available for $40 per night. Typical breakfast provided with ample tables available. Two spots for coffee, by the reception table and restaurant. Lots of help to keep the place spotless. Workout room available too.

This hotel is in a great location. You can walk to Whole Foods, restaurants and even Old Town/King Street. You can also walk to the train or use City Bikes to get around. There is a sidewalk behind the hotel that’s great for giving your dog a little walk. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms could maybe use a little updating but were clean and quiet.
