I had bugs in my room (not sure if it was a bed bug or not) and the front desk changed my room to a smaller room. I was in town for only a day and the front desk didn’t seem to care about my inconvenience of changing rooms. A front desk worker sent a text to call the hotel after my stay. I called and left a message for the manger to call me back and I never heard anything. It was a beautiful hotel but I won’t be going back.

The hotel was beautiful and in a wonderful walkable area. Our room was comfortable and clean. The problems came with the Do Not Disturb sign and breakfast. Housekeeping walked into our room while I was walking naked to the shower, while the sign was on the door. They sent an apology truffle assortment and a handwritten note to apologize while I was out of the room with the sign still on the door! Twice they entered my room. When it came to breakfast, in a nutshell, it was almost a half hour late causing us to have to eat it in the car because we had an appointment.

Hotel Heron has a wonderful location in Old Town Alexandria! The hotel is clean, and staff are friendly and helpful. Views from the rooftop lounge are spectacular. The Metro station is a mile walk down King Street, and the entire area is walkable and close to dining, shopping, and a myriad of historic buildings. I would stay here again!
