The Alexandrian Old Town Alexandria, Autograph Collection

I have stayed at the Alexandrian twice now, and each time I was so impressed. The Alexandrian is in a perfect location for exploring Old Town Alexandria and has convenient on-site parking available. The restaurant is excellent, especially for breakfast. During my stay, I was greeted by the very friendly and helpful Corrina and, later, Mashira. They both made me feel like a valuable guest. Chris was another big standout. Everyone made me feel valued and welcome. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and nicely appointed. You will enjoy your stay here!

If you book this hotel use a parking app and save money. We were able to park in the hotel garage underneath the property. It was nice to be greeted with a welcome bag that included two bottles of water and chocolates. The elevators were small and closed very quickly. We had to rush to the doors or they would close before we got on. Hopefully the timing can be adjusted for anyone who is not standing next to the door that opens first. The room was one of the largest I’ve seen in a historic area and we appreciated the space. For the price it was not as luxurious as one might expect. They seem to be working on some maintenance needs in the lobby and one of our curtains was missing a gold button. Small details, but they add up. It was centrally located for exploring Alexandria.

The one star is for the "Destination Fee" (previously known as a Resort Fee)... You're welcomed with a cynical hidden greed charge of $75 for things you don't want -- such as $15 vouchers per day for the mediocre restaurant. PRO TIP: refuse to pay it. The poor staff at reception know it's a scam. And let it go. The rooms aren't tired. They're exhausted. Chipped, scratched, dirty. I dread to think what filth a UV lamp would reveal. The whole place has been neglected for too long and it's sad to see. The nice staff seem a bit deflated by it all. The location is great, but I wouldn't return here -- as it's appallingly managed, and surprise charges disgust me.

I took my wife here the day after Christmas for two special days, got a Jacuzzi room. The Jacuzzi was amazing. I loved everything about the room; we even had robes. My wife loved them. We had a balcony overlooking the center of the place, which was really neat. The Hotel had a nice restaurant and cool-looking art. The staff was very friendly, which made us feel welcomed and appreciated, and King St. was a nice place to find anything, making it easy to enjoy our stay. I look forward to another visit. It was very costly but worth every penny, which makes me confident it's a good investment for a memorable stay.

We had a wonderful holiday return stay at The Alexandrian and truly felt right at home. Sam, the general manager, and his entire team go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. Our room was clean, well decorated and comfortable. Chef Victor prepared a wonderful platter of fruits , nuts and cheeses as well as desserts. From the front door to the front desk, the staff is exceptional. We’re already looking forward to our next visit in the spring. Thanks again Sam for making us feel right at home. — Dr. Eileen Fontanetta & Rob Byrne

Nice hotel in Alexandria with easy walk to many nearby restaurants and shops. Comfortable beds. Terrace balcony overlooking quiet courtyard. Convenient garage parking in the basement. We have stayed here several times and would return again.

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!
