Top Hotels with Gyms in Alexandria

Overall I give this stay 5 stars. The front desk staff were VERY friendly! The location is epic! While there is currently no housekeeping service due to covid 19, house keepers came by the room each day to drop off any requested room items (eg coffee toiletries towels). Hummingbird restaurant is open and delicious. Notes: Parking available in a city deck immediately behind the hotel for significantly less money than hotel parking. The walls in the hotel are VERY thin - I listed to my literally could listen in on neighbors phone calls (& ahem…other activities).

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary weekend at the Lorien Hotel and Spa. Our decision to stay there was in part due to the customer service before we even booked the room. The stellar service continued when we arrived. Ashley took really great care of us during our stay to help me our anniversary even more special. We booked a terrace suite which looked just like it did in the photos- beautiful! Plus, it was very clean. The hotel location is on the quieter side of King Street, which is lined with amazing food and shopping along the walk towards the river. We are already working on plans to return to Alexandria again soon. The Lorien will be our hotel location from now on. Kim and Marcus

This was a great hotel in a wonderful town not too far from DC. The architecture was amazing, and the room had quite a unique setup. Service was good and I had no complaints.

Very big hotel, went to the room for a long time. It is suitable for self-driving tourists with cars. It is surrounded by fast roads and has no scenery. The place to eat and the old town are a few kilometers away. The ancient city is beautiful.

Glad we stayed here. The hotel was immaculate. The bell staff always opened the door for us and greeted us each time we walked in. The elevators were super fast and the room was exceptional. We were upgraded to a larger room and it was perfect for the visit. The restaurant was not too bad and the only thing is I normally do not like to leave the car with a valet but they were fast and friendly. You text them and they reply an give you a time to come get the car. Make sure you have some money handy as they do overwhelm you and begin to grab bags and park the car. I was unprepared and had to remember who to tip later on in the visit. The room air was perfect and the visit was fantastic.

Hotel stay was far less than satisfactory and here are the reasons: 1. Some Front Desk staff didn’t know how the Bonvoy Ambassador hotel credit worked providing evidence many are poorly trained. a. The morning front desk member told me that he “just worked here” and the manager would arrive in a couple of hours to help me. No one ever got back to me. b. Requested manager support, not one got back to me. 2. Hotel room had: a. Collapsed cushions on the couch. b. Mold in bathroom c. Broken or extremely worn furniture. d. Torn and ripped window drapes 3. Billing was wrong and difficult to correct. Our family grew up managing hotels and I know that owning and operating a hotel is very difficult, this hotel exemplifies just how hard it is. I will not stay at this hotel again because there are so many other quality hotels in the area at the same cost.

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!

This hotel is wonderful in every way. The facility is especially clean, the breakfast buffet extensive, beds and rooms very comfortable, and small kitchens a plus. The entire staff was especially efficient, courteous, and gracious - front desk (guest experts), breakfast staff, cleaning staff, and the shuttle drivers. They were all genuinely polite, friendly, and welcoming. The hotel offers free shuttle service within 1 mile, and it is just 2 blocks from the free Trolley that goes down King Street - although the waterfront is a pleasant 20-minute walk away. Exceptional hotel! Highly recommend this hotel.

The staff at the front desk, breakfast area and the cleaning staff were VERY nice. Congratulations to management on finding nice people and setting a tone. That takes work. The room was clean and spacious. The king bed was a bit firm for my wife but fine for me. There was light traffic noise but that did not affect sleeping and the room was dark, almost perfect for sleeping. There were a variety of things for breakfast ( yogurt, oatmeal, bagels , an egg dish…good coffee!)The main breakfast dish which changed regularly was sometimes not quite hot enough and underseasoned for our tastes but more than adequate. We would readily stay there again and any slight negatives were exactly that.

We stayed 3 nights whilst attending a wedding celebration in Alexandria. The hotel provided an excellent base for exploring the area, with the location a good compromise between the old town and the metro link. Check-in was fast and efficient, with Pam providing a warm welcome and allowing entry to the rooms 3 hours before check-in. The three suites in our group were very well appointed, clean and the AC worked well. We really appreciated the complimentary breakfast offering and the on-site shop for basics. We would definitely return.
