Best hotel in Old Town

This is a beautiful, modern hotel. The staff here is so accommodating and helpful. The location is great. We had an issue with a room and they moved us over and comped a night no questions asked. This is our hotel of choice when we are are in the area.

Did not like the view from our $300 room of a dirty roof. Had to pull the curtains. Our group ordered $75 worth of appetizers at bar…they forgot to put in our order. So got them 45 minutes later with no adjustment to the bill, although I talked with the manager. We had reserved 5 rooms… upon check out, two of the rooms had mini bar charges on them totaling $70, which was an error. One room we were given was a handicapped room…not requested. Excellent food in restaurant. Nice people at front desk. Very dark lobby, so first impression is not positive. Lounging/sitting areas were nice. Cafe was good. Will try someplace else next time we are in Old Town Alexandria.
