Old Colony Inn Alexandria

“Wonderful service and location but rooms are out dated”

My husband and I stayed here after finding the place on Groupon. The name does say a lot as it is an older hotel with some need for updates but our room was clean and tidy.

My husband and I stayed here after finding the place on Groupon. The name does say a lot as it is an older hotel with some need for updates but our room was clean and tidy. Even still, if you don’t mind an out dated room the service is absolutely amazing. They offer free breakfast which was yummy! Also, parking with the Groupon was free but even without I think it’s only $5 a night and that’s a steal in this area (it’s in a parking lot and not the street too)! They do offer a free shuttle within a mile to Old Alexandria or the metro. We were greeted and offered great advice for traveling to DC and surrounding areas when we got there by a pleasant man named Muhammad. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

“Hotel closed”

Hotel closed down in May 2019. They notified us about a month before that they could not honor our reservation, and offered to help us find another room. They said they worked closely with the Holiday Inn near them, but that was sold out for our dates.

“Terrific Staff, Good location”

The location is very good and the desk staff helpful and professional. They have a reliable free shuttle service to downtown or metro with kind and helpful drivers. For some reason they charge $5 for parking. The rooms need to be vacuumed better along the walls. Carpeting is old.There is no fridge … Más

The location is very good and the desk staff helpful and professional. They have a reliable free shuttle service to downtown or metro with kind and helpful drivers. For some reason they charge $5 for parking. The rooms need to be vacuumed better along the walls. Carpeting is old.There is no fridge which we knew but we missed having one. The downside was the breakfast. We checked in on a Sat. The was little for food options. No coffee creamer. Plates etc not well stocked. The attendant rarely showed up to check on things. The coffee creamer never made an appearance. Ran out of juice. One couple was so upset they walked out and I saw them at the desk negotiating a check out. We stayed 4 nights. Each morning was a little better. It is disappointing when breakfast is offered to have it be so poor. That being said it was reasonably priced for the area and we might try it again if we can't find anything else at that price point. Too bad as the staff other than the breakfast area were terrific. I wondered about security as there was a side door that wasn't locked.More
