"The air conditioning in our room did not cool well. There was a lot of construction in the lobby. The evening mingle which included 2 drinks was wonderful. Breakfast was great. The check-in time is 4 P.M. Expedia documents showed 3 P.M. I spoke with the front desk when we arrived and was told to come back at 2. It ended up being 4 when the room was ready. Everyone was very friendly. However, it was not quite the exceptional experience that I am used to when staying at Embassy Suites."
"The hotel was nice and the staff was friendly. I love the big mirrors they have in the hotel. Hated the parking on street so I did valet instead. They took care of my car."
"Great stay at Hilton Old Town Alexandria!! Staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The hotel is located in a nice area, close to the Metro and food spots. I would definitely stay here again."

"The room was very clean and fresh towels were left daily to our room. We stayed 3 days. Only down fall the hotel is under construction and the front desk people would talk about customers and anyone who would pass by could hear the front desk workers."
