Jackhammer drilling in the Lobby and all of the rooms face the Lobby (see pictures of atrium). Be careful of staying here during this time. Issues with heating also probably due to construction. Avoid. More

As we move forward in this 2012 transition year, we look forward to many uplifting changes, from a new restaurant, bar and exercise room mid- year, to case goods in our rooms end of year. We can appreciate that initially some noise was necessary to “prep” the atrium and surrounding area for the renovations to come. In an attempt to... More

Over the Chrismas holiday stayed in a King Suite. Hotel is located right across from train station and Metro, parking at the hotel. Very convenient. Room was very spacious with full dining room area. Sitting area had pull out double size sofa. Went with two teenagers. If my husband came with us, the 12 and 14 year old would not... More

Thank you for your review. It is always satisfying to have guests enjoy their stay with us. Our rooms with two double beds would easily accommodate 4 persons, although the use of the sofa bed in the living room provides more privacy. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back here at Embassy Suites Old Town and experience... More

I was there five days for work and found this hotel to be very convenient to the Metro (King Street, Yellow/Blue Line). Old town Alexandria has a variety of old fashioned shops and restaurants to go through. There is also a free trolley bus between the Metro and the hotel that goes up and down King Street until 10:00 PM.... More

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. As you noted Embassy Suites Alexandria is finalizing several major public area renovations that are scheduled for completion by mid 2012. I do wish that we could offer more than complimentary beer and wine however, due to the State of Virginia ABC laws we are obligated to follow the guidelines... More

The Embassy Suites was a great choice for our family vacation and day trips on the metro into Washington. To avoid parking costs, if we had it to do over again we would probably fly into National rather than Dulles and take the Metro to the hotel which is just across the street. The Whole Foods is also very convenient... More

Thank you for your review. Our hotel is very conveniently located only 2 stops from Reagan International airport and directly across from the King Street metro station. This offers the opportunity for our guests to see the sights of Washington DC without the parking headaches. For those guests hoping to stay closer in, the Old Town shuttle and the Embassy... More

This is my first time at this hotel but I have stayed at several others in this area. First impression was very good. Fancy lobby and enthusiastic front desk staff. The room itself was just ok. Comfortable bed, standard Embassy Suites two room setup, flat screen tv in the front room, everything was clean and the room was quiet. Breakfast... More

We (a couple with 1 child) booked an adjoining suite with another couple with 1 child. The kids were 9 and 6 years old. We stayed for a few nights over New Year's to enjoy Old Town's "first night" festivities. The trip itself was great - the hotel is conveniently located, First Night was fun, and the kids loved the...

We have been staying at this hotel every year for a few days before New Year's Eve with a departure on New Year's Day. I think this past stay will be our last.

I came across a rude reservation agent this morning while trying to make a reservation. For almost $300 a night, I would expect every employee to be friendly and polite as there are many hotel choices in every city. More
