Top Athenaeum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Indigo Old Town Alexandria by IHG

8/10 Good

"We were supposed to get $15 off at the restaurant and when we went to go for an afternoon coffee, the hostess told us they were closed apparently that’s unusual but she was kind of rude about it and instead of offering us coffee to go she just blew us off about 20 minutes later we found out you could sit outside and she never offered it to us and she just was rude and that was disheartening because it was a really great restaurant and a fantastic hotel."
