Best location on the Potomac and in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. Chadwick’s restaurant is just out the back entrance to the left. There are so many historic sites to visit within walking distance such as the tomb of the unknown revolutionary war soldier behind the Presbyterian Meeting house, and the first Catholic Church in the Virginia colony, basilica St. Mary’s, and countless other historic places.

The pictures online are very nice but very different from the really. I call the front desk in the morning for request some items brought up to my room around 8am. They told me to come get it myself because he was the only one there and abruptly hanged up the phone. That is a fair ask, but the communication was very poor, plus 8am and only one person working?

Overcharge and false promises

My experience at this hotel was very pleasant until the end of my two night stay. At checkout, I asked for an email receipt but never received it. I checked my credit card the following day and realized that I was overcharged by nearly $100. I immediately called the hotel and spoke to an employee named Nigel who, after going over the charges, admitted I was overcharged. He promised to credit my account and send me an email confirming the correction. Three days later I still had not received the email. I called and spoke to Nigel again. This time he sent the confirming email while I was still on the phone with him, but after 12 days my account still has not been credited the overcharge. The overcharge and false promise is very disappointing. It’s a disheartening ending to an otherwise enjoyable stay.
