Courtyard Alexandria Old Town/Southwest

Food service is minimal. We ate only one time ...a simple quesadea and a blt sandwich was over 30. Staff is very helpful. As of Sept 1, they now charge $10 a night to park in their lot. I reserved the room well before that time and will not have to pay the new parkinf fee. Hotel is very quiet in rooms facing the street. Rooms to the rear will hear traffic noise off the interstate and tangle of highways directly in back.

What I liked, loved was the easy way of sorting through all options that was offered needed for my occasion, and the ease of canceling and transferring ( from Courtyard Marriott Falls Church to Courtyard Marriott there in Alexandria Old Town/Southwest) to a closer Courtyard Marriott, where the rest of the Family had planned unknowingly. On arrival at Courtyard Marriott Alexandria Old Town/Southwest, the check in Attendant was professional, thorough and kind. The atmosphere was pleasant and very welcoming. We totally enjoyed our stay and have noticed that ALL Courtyard Marriotts, have a safe feel, home away from home moments. 😃

The room was nice and nicely decorated. The main thing we noticed is how accommodating the staff was. Upon our arrival, the woman working the front desk booked us in a room, and we went to get our baggage. She noticed that my wife was limping and offered to move our room closer to the elevator, to make the walk shorter. That was very thoughtful.

Location very good, 10 min. walk to Yellow line station. Room was average and nice, nothing special. If you have a car, you can access the beltway and Old Town readily.

Should have daily room service, our shower was very narrow, bistro very expensive, wall electric socket for charging was not working- rm 502, left side of the bed. Front desk people were great. Comfortable room
