The Westin Alexandria Old Town

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed here many times and always return to this location when we need to be in the DC area. The hotel is in a nice area where we can walk our dog safely day and night.

"I have been a visiting resident for 9 years! The staff is always awesome and very attentive! Best overall!"

The King Street House by Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"Room was in an excellent location right in King Street. With a great location does mean you can hear noise on the street outside. They did provide ear plugs. Bed was comfortable. We loved the heated floors in the bathroom but did not love the opaque glass dividing the room and bathroom. Just something to be aware of depending on who you are traveling with."

Hilton Garden Inn Alexandria Old Town National Harbor

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We used the valet parking and were able to come and go as often as needed for a daily fee. The only negative was a noisy air conditioning vent. Otherwise it was great."
