Residence Inn by Marriott Alexandria Old Town South

“Excellent Location and Staff - but read review!”

The hotel hit most of the marks for me in Alexandria, with friendly staff, a tasty breakfast, a secure parking garage, and a full kitchen in the room. I was only three blocks from a Wegman’s grocery store and the area had a large theater complex and several restaurants. However, this was the second Residence Inn where the mattress felt like a brick; I couldn’t relax at night and ended up in worse shape than when I left the previous hotel chain that had a great bed. Marriott’s quality seems off, especially the pillows and the bottom sheet, which is too small for the mattress and rolls up under you each morning. I also noticed poor air quality in the room, and the washing machines—though convenient—were very low quality. I stay in many hotels a year and use a lot of laundries, so at this price I expect at least a comfortable mattress, a properly fitting sheet, and a washing machine with several options.

The two check‑in staff, Taylor and Abel, were kind, professional, and helpful. The commode in the room was very low, not suitable for seniors or people with joint replacements like me. The $40 a night parking fee was ridiculous; if the hotel isn’t responsible for vehicle damage, what’s the high fee for? I’m a Marriott member but didn’t see any perks for staying here. I can’t see any reason to recommend this property. After breakfast they even put up the coffee.

“Great stay, clean room, great kitchenette in the room that helped me enjoy my time in the area!”

I booked the entire stay at the Residence because the Westin was hosting a work summit nearby and they couldn't accommodate my added days; the location was ideal, close to restaurants, metro stations, and Whole Foods, and the refrigerator in the room helped me stick to my diet plan. The breakfast had plenty of healthy choices and coffee was always ready, so I’ll definitely book the Residence again for next year's summit. The only downside was the lack of information in the room about the local area, check‑out time, and amenities – I only discovered where the gym was when I was checking out, which was a bit late.

“My stay was great my family enjoyed and we will be staying again”

Getting to nearby spots was easy, but I was surprised to find pets in the hotel, which I hadn’t expected.

The suite was spacious, but the bathroom door in one of the rooms was difficult to close because the toilet was too close.
