Top Athenaeum Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Alexandria Old Town National Harbor

8/10 Good

"We arrived at dinner time and were told the Chef didn't come to work and there was a very limited menu available. The manager of that section personally put together a simple item or two. Breakfast was OK."

Hampton Inn & Suites Alexandria Old Town Area South

8/10 Good

"The front desk clerk double charged us even though my sister said the debit went through. She continued to insist the charge was declined and my sister showed her the banking app where it already took the money out. So after going back and forth with the attitude, we had to swipe the card again so that we could get the room. It went through again and so we got double charged. We complained and this literally took hours and all the way until the next day for a manager to get involved. The manager was helpful but once the charges debited, it was a whole process for our bank to reverse the charge. It froze almost $700 of our funds for days that we really needed on our trip. Terrible beginning. Other than that, it was a decent hotel with good breakfast and plenty of parking. The manager ended up crediting us for one night. That made it a little better. They just need to train their staff better with processing payments and customer service can improve."

Hotel Indigo Old Town Alexandria by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel was conveniently located. The front desk staff were friendly and professional. The dining room for breakfast was not a plus. The staff were not friendly and the food was mediocre. The room and bathroom were clean and the bed was comfortable. Overall a pleasant stay"

Hyatt Centric Old Town Alexandria

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was very nice. The room, and actually the entire hotel seemed very clean and well maintained. The location on King St made it especially easy to go to shops and restaurants. Plus , this location was a couple blocks away from the busiest spots which made it more quiet and relaxed. But a very easy walk to where the majority of the restaurants and shops were. We did not try the breakfast, but did use the valet parking which was around 50 bucks. Typical of pretty much all hotels in the vicinity of DC. All in all I would definitely stay here again."
