The Westin Alexandria Old Town

The Westin Alexandria Old Town

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great experience at this hotel. There was one unfortunate hiccup, but the staff handled it very well. We didn’t realize that pets are allowed in this hotel. Someone in the room next to us left their dog unattended for the evening…a clear violation of hotel policy. When the barking threatened to keep us up at night, the night manager, Kuldeep, was gracious to offer us another room with an upgrade. While it was not ideal to have to pack up and move, we were incredibly grateful for the opportunity to get a peaceful night of rest. We found the restaurant staff to be very pleasant and helpful as well, and our breakfast meals were delicious!"
