My wife and I met other family members for a promotion ceremony at Fort McNair, D.C. We stayed at Springhill Suites, Eisenhower Road, Alexandria, VA. The hotel is easy to find. The general manager, Mr. Pio Mendes, greeted us by name and signed us in. He was cordial and businesslike. Hours later he acknowledged me by name, this while I wore a COVID mask. Our room wasclean and quiet, and well stocked with towels, soaps, etc., as would be expected. In the meantime, many other guests have signed in. The next morning Mr. Mendes again addressed me by name. I assured him we were having a nice visit.
If I could name a shortcoming it would be in the COVID-sealed breakfast -- a mall sealed orange juice, small yogurt, and either a small sealed blueberry muffin or banana-nut bread (I think). I understand the hotel is preparing to expand its breakfast offering soon, perhaps as early as July first.
We plan to return to Springhill Suites and hope to meet Mr. Mendes or someone else like him. He has cultivated a hardworking, dedicated staff who made pleasant our stay.More
