New hotel - great atmosphere, highly recommend
Gorgeous hotel. Michael at the front desk was a pleasure and Andrew at the bar made phenomenal drinks. The hotel is very well appointed with gorgeous finishes. Walkable to King Street. Bed was comfortable- would stay again in a second.

Excellent location in Old Town Alexandria! Clean and comfortable rooms. The staff went over and beyond to make us feel welcome, comping our drinks at the bar when one room wasn’t ready ..late checkout, seriously the staff wanted us to be happy and we were! Christmas time in Old Town is magical. Highly recommend!

This is beautifully renovated hotel walking distance from Old Town and close to many historic sites and the waterfront. The staff were extremely accommodating. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner in their restaurant and after attending a music show nearby we came back to the first floor bar. It was cosy and the bartender was attentive. We tried the rooftop bar, but it was too noisy for us old folks.

New favorite hotel!
My new favorite Old Town hotel! This property is stunning, well-staffed, and located in the middle of everything. I was disappointed that the rooftop deck wasn't open as promised, but even the view out the door was nice.

Great hotel and location but stinky lobby
The hotel is in a great location and was quiet. However, there was a fowl odor in the lobby and it flowed into their restaurant too. That alone is a huge turn off. In addition, the deadbolt for our room did not line up. So, they need to fix these things asap in my opinion.

Wonderful
Adorable boutique hotel. Everything was wonderful including the valet service, staff and the room. The only complaint is that I booked a Deluxe King room that said “city views.” I chose the deluxe room at a higher cost for that reason. I asked the desk clerk and he very nicely explained they do not have city views. He also said I am the second person that questioned the description and that he would talk to the manager to fix the description on Hotels.com
