The facility is well maintained and there were no problems in the room at all. When I checked in, they told me that they had to put a $100 hold on my credit card in case of problems. That was okay, but then then the machine wouldn't accept my Discover Card, which was the very card I had paid for the room with? Fortunately I had a different card to use.

While I enjoyed staying at this property and the staff team were friendly much needs to be corrected with how the back patio is utilized by guests given marijuana is legal. Not pleasant to always walk outside with my dog and smell the odor.

I used it for a business trip, but it was clean, comfortable, and pretty quiet for the most part. It’s worth noting this is basically IHG’s equivalent to a Marriott Residence Inn or an Extended Stay. The family running it is very kind and helpful. Parking is pretty easy, and it’s not far from most of the rest of the DC area though you would probably want a car if you’re staying here. I recommend.

The property was tucked away off the main road and was quiet. The rooms were spacious and well appointed. The bed was comfortable and the staff was warm and welcoming. Nightly parking was reasonable in cost. There were plenty of food options nearby and shopping. Right off the interstate so convenient to commute to DC or to old town Alexandria. Overall a great stay.

In all the hotels/motels I've stayed at in the past few years (and there's been alot between college tours, visits, trips etc), this hotel was the absolute best. The room was so clean I was able to walk around barefoot and not have to worry about my feet getting dirty. This has been the only place I was able to do that. All other places I had to wear slides. The room was the best room also, in regards to having a full kitchen with dishes, utencils, overall space, etc. I have never had a room like this before. My daughter and I wished we were staying for a week. Price was extremely reasonable and the staff was fantastic. I asked if we could have early check-in since we were there to attend my nephews Master's Degree graduation and it was the same day as we were checking in and the ceremony was 3pm which is the normal check in time. The lady at the desk was so understanding and said the room I booked (king size bed) was not available and If I would mind changing rooms so we could be accommodated. I wish all the places we stayed were this great. I will look for this name hotel in future travel. I would give them 10 STARS if I could

We stayed in the suite with the queen bed. The room and bathroom are very small. The bed is pushed between two walls and is definitely not a queen size, more like a double and very uncomfortable. The bathroom was dated and not in the greatest condition. The kitchenette is nice, if needed. The staff is quite unfriendly and there is no breakfast, only free coffee. We will not stay here again when going back to Alexandria.

We keep air mattresses in our van, and there was plenty of floor room to add the two mattresses. The clerk let us borrow a couple extra blankets. He was super nice.

This place was fine. Friendly staff, very small but extremely well-designed rooms. It was clean, but not squeaky clean, the location was fine, but not super. Suite? That is a common word in the industry today. Indeed, there was a comfy bed and a sofa that likely folded out, but it is only one room with separate very small bath, and I cannot imagine fitting a third person in there. With two of us we were constantly stepping out of the way of the other. It certainly was not a suite.

When we first got to the hotel. It look like the man was doing something wrong he overcharged my card at first and then it finally went through after and given us two room keys that didn’t work and he given us a one bedroom that we did not request we requested two beds it was just too much because we drove from here and we were very tired.
