A lovely hotel in the center of Alexandria. Everything looked just like the photos, the food at the restaurant was tasty, and the movie theater was a nice touch. Only downsides would be that service at the restaurant could have been better, and the room did not have complimentary tea like the sign mentioned. That being said, I would stay again.

My husband and I stayed here for a quick weekend getaway, and will 100% be staying here again if we’re ever in the Alexandria/DC area. The hotel is gorgeous, the staff - from the front desk to the bar - is amazing, and the room was clean and large (king with Juliet balcony). Valet parking (additional cost) is an option, but since there was street parking available, we chose to not valet the car. There are restaurants in walking distance, if you don’t want to take advantage of the hotel’s lounge, plus more located near the water just about 10 mins away. I highly recommend AKA Alexandria!
