June 2026 stay…read more Stayed here years ago. This time around was just okay. Needed a local getaway, so my Sister & Brother stayed the weekend and hung out with me 1. Parking was $40 a day in the garage next door. Supposed to be in & out priviledges. I COULD NOT use my room key card to get out of the garage! 3x I tried to exit and each time, I had to contact SUPPORT to lift the gate up. Went to the front desk after the 1st time, and they gave us 3 new room cards. the Same issues persisted time after time! Sunday when we tried to leave for massage appointments, since we couldn't get out of the garage, my appointment was canceled because I was 5 mins late, altho we left 30 mins early, for an appointment that was 10 minutes away.... fawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwk. EB did reach out and offered to credit the entire parking. 2. Breakfast was fine, except they didn't open the little dining room outside of the breakfast line, or it closed super early in the morning. Tables were packed. The first morning, we just brought our plates up to the room as there were no tables to eat at 3. Evening reception: 2 free drinks per night. The "snack" bar was pretty empty every time. Consisted of M&Ms that kids and much older adults would just put their hands in. Brocolli, carrot and celery snacks each night with hummus and vegetarian dressing. Bagged chips and mints. This was less than desired. A super long line for drinks tho, 1 bartener each night who were both very nice & patient 4. Room #743 was facing the back/side of the hotel. There was a bright light on the building infront of us that stayed on overnight, good thing for the black out curtains 5. Never saw the housekeeper. Sunday, we left at 145pm with no service, but thankfully when we returned @530p everything was cleaned. 6. There are No pens or pad in the room. I went downstairs and asked for a pen/paper and was told to bring the pen back downstairs lol 7. My brother went outside and tried to come back in @1030a on the morning we were to checkout. His card didn't work! He couldn't get back into the building, my sister had to go down and let him in. Unacceptable! I texted the Courtesy # to let them know of the issue, and that person also confirmed that checkout is at 11am. 8. When you scan the QR code at the lobby for pool information, it says it is open from 9a-930a on sundays and Holidays. The actual pool sign says until 9pm. Sharing for awareness. I uploaded a photo of what the QR scan said , as well as the physical pool information as found on the 3rd floor I would probably check out the other EB in Arlington, VA next time should I need another break in my norm. You should too!

Embassy Suites by Hilton Alexandria Old Town - April 2026…read more In planning for a 2026 visit from my sister, we focused on how best to experience the Cherry Blossom Festival in the Tidal Basin and the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. She would be arriving on Amtrak from Wilmington, and my apartment is in Old Town Alexandria, so we looked for hotels adjacent to Metro's King Street station (which serves Amtrak, the VRE, and the Yellow and Blue rail lines, in addition to several bus lines. There are several excellent hotel choices at King Street station, but one that stands out is the Embassy Suites, right across the street from the Amtrak/Metro rail station. The hotel is family-friendly, spacious, clean, and safe. There's a wonderful made-from-scratch breakfast for all guests, along with a 90-minute happy hour featuring complimentary drinks (2 per person) in the early evening. My sister's room was ready when we arrived at around 3 p.m., and as we checked her in we found the room's TV welcomed us by name. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was equipped with sustainable dispensers for the shower (no single-use plastics in the room). The room was quiet and remained that way throughout the two nights my sister stayed there. During our stay the presence of families with young children was evident - kids were clearly enjoying themselves and were exploring features of the hotel geared especially for young children. We found hotel staff members helpful, not intrusive, and alert to the needs of the hotel's guests. On the same street half a block away there's Theismann's Restaurant & Bar, which offers a full bar and a well-crafted menu of moderate- to high-priced American dishes. I've recommended nearby hotels in the past, and those recommendations remain. I can now add the Embassy Suites to the list. It offers ready access to the entire District-Maryland-Virginia region served by Metro and related regional public transit services, and is a great point of embarkation when exploring Northern Virginia and D.C.

Stayed at the Hyatt Centric in Old Town Alexandria for a couple of nights. Average hotel - no…read morefrills, but conveniently located to Old Town Alexandria and the Waterfront (15 min walk, 5-7 min free bus ride). Also conveniently located close to a Metro stop if you plan to go into DC regularly during your stay. I had issues with the shower not working in my room, and the hotel not sending an engineer up for several hours to fix it. This was a frustrating start to my stay. Rooms are very tiny, even for two people. Mediocre experience overall, but relatively inexpensive if using Hyatt points and worth it for a short time due to its convenient location and proximity to DC.

Hyatt Centric Old Town Alexandria, Virginia…read more When Bruce Springsteen announced he and the E Street Band would be performing at Nationals Stadium in D.C., I reached out to family and friends to see if they could be in town for the show. When my sister responded that she could make the show I immediately looked for a hotel in Old Town Alexandria (VA). I've lived in Alexandria for 14 years and believe we're well served by the hotels operating locally. Because she would be arriving from New York on Amtrak, I looked for hotels in Alexandria that are within walking distance of the King Street Metro station. There's an Embassy Suites, a Hampton Inn, a Hilton, and a Hyatt Centric, all within a five-minute walk from the Metro station. Right from the start the experience was a good one. My reservation was quickly recognized, as was my membership in the World of Hyatt, Hyatt's loyalty program. I was able to cover the cost of two nights ($580.92, including taxes, total for the two nights) when I checked my sister into the hotel. The hotel is perfectly located for using the Metro bus and rail lines (a five minute walk to Metro's Yellow and Blue lines and bus lines) - including the bus that will take you across the river to the MGM Grand Hotel in Oxon Hill, Maryland. There's also a free bus and trolley circulator and free DASH buses that all share a bus stop directly across the street from the hotel. The bar is well stocked and staffed by friendly and courteous bar staff. There's a valet service (best to check first about the cost - I think it was $45 per night but I didn't need it so I'm not sure I have the price right). The Hyatt Centric Old Town is probably the newest of the national brand hotels located near the King Street Metro station. It's clean, reasonably priced for the area, and as far as I can tell it's a safe and secure option for visitors to the DMV (District, Maryland, and Virginia).

The Bad: Both elevators were struggling to function with one barely operational. The Ugly: That parking garage is the sketchiest parking ever experienced in our lives.

Before I go into this review, I have to compliment that staff the entire time we stayed here. They always said hi, or bye whenever we were in the lobby or coming in or out of the door. I absolutely love that. This location is extremely convenient to Amtrak and the Metro. It is walking distance. It is also the perfect spot to lay your head. Rooms are known to be on the smaller side in large cities, so no complaints because that is to be expected. The bedding was comfortable and if we needed extra blankets, which we did. We received them no questions asked. The rate was fair for the location and comparable to a few other hotels around.

Valentino's is the absolute best for pizza.(they make the dough with NY water), and Springfield mall is right there with a ton of restaurants as well.

They have valet here and the valet folks were really busy, but accommodating when we needed to quickly drop off our vehicle. The guy checking me in upgraded me to a suite, which was a nice surprise. The common areas in this hotel were beautiful and kept up nicely. When we got to the room it was nicely set up and quite large. The bathroom wasn't very impressive though, it featured a tub with shower curtain - many nicer properties have been updated to remove the tubs and replace them with shower systems. The other issue with this tub was that it didn't drain well, which wasn't fun when taking a shower. The TV in the room was kind of small for how big the room was and how far away the TV was from the bed. Also, the TV had streaming services, but no Pluto. I've been loving having Pluto on Marriott TVs lately. The bed was comfy and the HVAC worked well and wasn't too loud. Overall, it was a nice stay, even though we literally got there around 5PM and put our bags in the room and left, staying out past midnight before returning, then waking up, showering, and heading out around 9AM. So, we weren't there nor in the room very long, but it was perfect for our needs. I'd stay here again.

The hotel is really beautiful and there is nothing I like more than a courtyard. This area is well-maintained and very relaxing. It also is a great space to wait to get into the restaurant and bar associated with the hotel. The rooms are very attractive and well laid out. The rooms are also specious and updated. The only problem is the shower which is slippery and has no bar. It also takes a few minutes for the water to warm up. One of the most wonderful aspects of the hotel is that if a room is ready you do not have to wait for the check-in time. What a great way to run a business!!! Parking is about fifty dollars a night. But if you want to leave late there is no extra charge. The hotel also gives you a twenty-five-dollar credit for Home Grown - the breakfast restaurant associated with the hotel. The people who run this hotel make you feel like you are important and they want you to stay without squeezing every penny from clients by adding extra costs. Old Town, Alexandria, is charming with several small museums, lots of boutiques and small shops, and great food. The people are not so friendly, but the service sector makes up for that. Additionally, the trolley and buses are free, and the Metro is close by.
