Great first visit
Very cool new hotel in Alexandria. Large room, very comfy bed. Neat speakeasy bar that was fun to enjoy as part of the experience. Was a super quick visit so will need to come back to enjoy the hotel bar and other amenities.

Nice Location in Old Town
Property was extremely clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent location in Old Town Alexandria. We paid extra for a corner room, but were assigned a very small standard room. We thought the daily parking fee of $45 was atrocious, and drinks in bar overpriced. $40 for two drinks w/tip).

The lights are set to go off every 2-3 minutes if you are not moving. This is not long enough. The time on the lights needs to change to give someone long enough to get done what they are trying to do. The rest of my stay and time at the hotel was great.

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.

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

The hotel is in a perfect area to do all things Old Town related. The staff was wonderful. Rooms are a little small, but not bad. Our biggest problem was that the bathroom door was see thru and they had a huge mirror that angled directly from the bed into the bathroom door. Anyone using the bathroom was completely visible to anyone else in the room no matter where they were.
