The Alexandrian, Autograph Collection

Traveled with a group of four (including me, the planner). Sam Shaheen, Asst. GM, and his staff rolled out the red carpet for us.

I am the mother of the bride doing those last minute things. I needed help with a few items and spoke with Chris. Chris was professional, patient and was able to answer all of my questions. I used to be in the hotel business and would hire Chris at a heartbeat. Thank you. Chris.

I have been contemplating if I should share a review. As a meeting planner, I have never been so disappointed in a Marriott brand than I am with this hotel. We have experienced several issues with this property and they all have been excused. This past week is inexcusable! They have a rodent issue that I was told was addressed when came up in a past stay. Needless to say I had a Board member encounter this during an extremely important meeting. We also did not have "hot" water to shower. As a trust brand there is so much that cant be trusted and it is very disappointing. Great location. However, they need some major renovations. I cant convince anyone to stay at this property for future events - the damage has been done!

This beautiful historic hotel located in Old Town Alexandria is WONDERFUL! The rooms, staff, grand welcoming lobby, restaurant and amenities are all fabulous! There are many lovely places within walking distance and it’s easy to get to Smithsonian museums and Washington National baseball stadium by car. I’ve stayed here many times (for both work and pleasure) and hope to be back soon. Highly recommend!

My husband and I were excited to stay in Alexandria. We booked this hotel for the location and the reviews. Parking and check in were easy. We got to our upgraded room and we noticed a Strong smell of wet and mold. We looked around and noticed that the wall by the bed had bubbles of water behind the paint. The windows were leaking and there was about an inch on mold/moss between the glass and window grates on the outside. We dropped our bags off quickly as we had dinner reservations. When we got back to the room the strong smell was still there and we were in the room for about 45 min-1 hour and we had to leave. I had an asthma attack and my husband had an intense headache. We tried to call the desk but they put us on hold. We packed up, left the room and went to front desk. We were offered to try another room but there was no guarantee as it is an old hotel. We opted to leave as we were both having issues from whatever was in the air. If you have asthma, I wouldn’t stay here!
