Hilton Hotels in Alexandria

The location is excellent, less than 2 kilometers from the riverside of the old town, there is public transportation downstairs, and the hotel also has a shuttle. We rent a car, parking is very convenient, there are plenty of parking spaces in the underground garage, 20$/day. Rich in the morning: eggs + two kinds of sausages, various breads, various beverages, fruits, vegetables, everything. The room is comfortable enough, spacious and bright. The 2-room room we booked is the largest 2-room room we have ever stayed in. The kitchen facilities are complete, but the windows of the room are completely sealed. It is not recommended to make a large Chinese meal. It is good to cook something or microwave it. All in all recommended.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

My fiancé and I had a last minute stay in va. The hotel is okay..free ihop breakfast in the morning, nice lobby area, and only 15 minutes from the city but the AC barely worked. Marie was the best! She was so polite and attentive during our stay. I usually don’t leave reviews but I just wanted her to know we appreciate her hospitality, which is very RARE now a days!!

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL. It is not safe. My mother, my sister, and I went to Alexandria to visit my husband who is active duty. My mother (93) and sister (71) stayed at the Holiday Inn Carlyle, 2460 Eisenhower Ave, Alexandria, VA 22314 from 5/5/22-5/7/22. On Saturday evening, 5/7/22 at approximately 9pm, there was a tall African American man in their room when they entered. He was walking toward them and my sister asked him who he was and how did he get into their room. His response was that he thought this was his friend’s room and showed them that his key card worked and said he would go to the front desk to get this straightened out. Nothing was stolen from mother and sister but my sister said he had clothes draped over his arm with price tags hanging. They were understandably shaken up. They could have been killed. They went to the front desk and they had someone walk them back to their room to tell them how to use the deadbolt. This way no one could enter their room once they were inside, he said. Apparently, an engineer was to come to their room also to look at the key lock but he never showed up. It was too late to move hotels by the time this was all done and they were okay staying the night. The next morning, we moved them to another hotel. I called back Monday morning and talked to the General Manager who had no idea that this happened on Saturday. He called the police and said his staff did not follow protocol. They should have called the police on Saturday evening. Hmmm makes you wonder if the staff was in on this and the man had a master key perhaps or the front desk employees were making keys to the rooms that they had guests staying in for him. It was clear that he stole from other rooms by the clothes with tags over his arm. The GM was kind (at first) and comped the room for the 3 nights and gave us bonus IHG reward points as we are a member. I could care less about the points. What I’m concerned about is 2 months later (7/22), the police said that the hotel has not provided any video footage. I have called the hotel several times and talked to the GM and was told not to call them anymore and to talk to the police. I did call them back again as nothing was getting resolved and talked to the assistant GM and he told me in an email “the hotel management is working with the local City of Alexandria Police Department and will be sending the footage requested by officer XXXX, once obtained from security camera technician. Any additional updates or information will come from City of Alexandria Police Department.” I talked with the police last week (6/27/22) and the hotel has not provided the video footage yet. I have called the GM back several times since and got his voicemail. I have tried for 2 months to get some resolution so the only thing I can do now is to make all of you aware of this situation and DO NOT STAY HERE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY. Besides, the hotel is run down and the comforters had stains on them. Just terrible all the w
