Lovely, comfortable hotel in downtown Alexandria, close to all attractions
In great location on King street. Close to shopping and restaurants. Easy to take trolley and metro into DC
It was a lovely hotel. Very close to restaurants.
I was looking forward to spending a night in a hotel that wasn't cookie cutter. This proved to be quite disappointing. The room was clean, staff wasn't particularly friendly or knowledgeable. Self-parking was $32 extra for one night. Lobby was very musty and the faucet in the shower was about to come off of the wall. Lovely location but price was not worth it for the amount of time I spent in the room. Wouldn't recommend. My credit card was charged more than my final bill and am still waiting for a call back to clarify. Was a bit averse to the fact that the down blanket was underneath the sheet, cleanliness is of the utmost importance to me.
Great location on King St in Alexandria. Close to many restaurants, bars and unique shopping. Friendly staff accommodated my early arrival. Deluxe room very comfortable, furniture a bit worn but extremely clean. Quirky style with a bit of whismy that sets the hotel apart from the generic hotel decor was appreciated. The crackling fire in the hotel lobby fireplace was a welcome refuge from the late spring storm.
Began with a call for pickup from airport, they said "Go to door 5, be there in 10 minutes." They took my phone number, but never came and didn't call. Took a cab. Had booked a terrace room, they took me to a non-terrace room. They DID fix this when I told them not the room I booked. Coffee urns in lobby always empty. Asked for wake-up calls (twice) which never came. Almost cost me missing the Inauguration in DC that I had come for. Phone in room was not cordless, and only one by the bed so I couldn't work at the desk and take/make calls. The door key went awry and wouldn't work one night when coming in late and had to wait for an engineer to come let me in which took 10 minutes. On the plus side, the location in Olde Town Alexandria was great, only 4 blocks to the waterfront and many restaurants in walking range which was good because their restaurant was overpriced and unappetizing. One morning I wanted room service, but was told it would be 90 minutes to 2 hours before they could come. Overall very disappointing as room cost was TRIPLED because it was the weekend of a Presidential Inauguration. Could possibly give them another chance at NORMAL room rates for the location alone but will not expect any personal services.
We reserved at the Hotel Monaco( Kimpton) and stayed at a Marriott.(They changed owners the day before we arrived!!) Big Difference! We were not advised in advance!! There was no coffee pot in the room! No robes! and No Fish! and No goodies at breakfast buffet! Just coffee. No break on the price even though we were the guinea pigs for all the new employees. Oh sorry we got cookies and milk! Will not stay again!!
This is my second time staying here and I like where it is in Old Alexandria. However, the bathrooms and showers could use a facelift. The beds were too soft and lacked support underneath. Very nice staff
The hotel is in a great location on King st. Walk a few blocks in either direction and there are plenty of restaurants and bars. It was a short drive into DC. Less than 10 minutes to the national harbor and about 20 min with traffic to the national mall. There is also a metro stop nearby the hotel. The room was spacious and had a nice sized bathroom. The parking at the hotel was $29, but there is a garage right next door that charges $5 for the day. I would definitely stay again when visiting DC.
Excellent staff! Very kind and helpful, the place has the aura of home somehow--small but useful touches, such as cold lemonade, great coffee and tea, apples... makes it like home. Clean rooms, and cleaning staff are careful not to get in your way. Location in Alexandria is excellent, with a pharmacy close by, and transport links too. I will be returning, and by then I hope the Metro is fixed so access to DC is better given the traffic jams of the city.
Staff was top notch. It's expensive, but then again the whole town is so you should already be aware of that. Great if you have pets. My kids spent their time in the pool which has a lifeguard on duty a nice feature if you are looking after more then one kid.
Stayed in the hotel to be close for the George Washington Parkway Ten Mile Classic. Great location and room.
The area of old town is awesome and very romantic. My girlfriend loved the area, water, restaurants, and shops. The hotel was beautiful . Room was very clean and the design was top notch . Definitely would come back to the hotel . Front seat service was top notch , 5 star bath room and amenities
We stayes at the Monaco as we were running the George Washington Parkway Classic. Perfect location. Hotel was very clean and decorated nice. Comfortable bed. Staff was nice. Only bad part was they said the garage was full and we had to pay $27 to park our car for less than 24 hours. Would definitely stay there again though.
Great one night stay. Staff was very friendly and the hotel was very nice. Highly recommend .
We love Alexandria, and the Monaco hotel fits all our needs.
Not super fancy, but nice enough. Good location - nice to grab breakfast at the farmer's market across the street.
Attended the wedding of our daughter's friend. The hotel did an excellent job with the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. Thoroughly enjoyable. Our room was well appointed, but could have used an additional easy chair for both balance esthetically and for comfort. The desk chair and easy chair worked, but wasn't ideal for conversation. The restaurant was bustling in the morning and the wait staff hustled, but couldn't really keep up with the demand.
Was very impressed with the hotel, staff was very helpful. The King St. trolly goes right by the hotel every 15 min. and is free to ride, will take to to the water front or the Metro with several stops on the way. There were a lot of dogs in the motel but if I had not seen the dogs I would not have known they were there. Very quite and did not have a "dog" smell. The restaurant next to the hotel was a bit pricey but the waiter and waitress were very helpful with area information
