Cottages in Alexandria City County

"The room was clean and quiet."

"The Archer Hotel is a wonderful boutique hotel in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. From the moment we pulled up to the curb, the valet welcomed us and helped us with our bags. Our double queen room was clean and the beds were luxurious and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and included nice lotions, soaps and hair products along with nice touches such as slippers, robes, and a golf umbrella. There were free water bottles and caramels or chocolate treats provided daily. The room included a safe and microwave, though we didn’t use them. The lobby had coffee and tea in the morning and delicious infused water all day. The Archer has a lovely courtyard and a wonderful restaurant for breakfast and lunch right next door called Homegrown. It was so nice to stay somewhere out of the ordinary chain hotels I frequent. I highly recommend the Archer for a wonderful stay in Alexandria."

"I had a very disappointing and unsafe experience at this hotel. The online description is completely different from reality—it feels more like a motel. The rooms are old and outdated, there is no pool, and the overall condition does not match what was advertised. It is also very strange that this property appears to operate under two different names (Days Inn and Super 8) at the same location, which feels misleading. The biggest issue is safety. Someone tried to open my room door, and the same happened to other guests from my group. There is clearly no real security. Homeless individuals were entering the hotel despite a security door, going into the breakfast area, taking food, and walking freely through the hallways and up the stairs. Staff tried to remove them but were unsuccessful. I personally encountered individuals who appeared to be under the influence of drugs. There were even police and firefighters at the hotel, which adds to the concern. Breakfast was unacceptable—only black coffee, sliced bread, and butter, even though I paid for it daily. After most guests left, they suddenly offered better options. Overall, this hotel is not worth the price. I do not recommend it, especially for women traveling alone."

"Clean room, friendly staff. Very convenient to the Metro. "

"The staff was the friendliest I've ever encountered in any hotel. The valet service for my car was prompt and friendly. The room was modern and comfortable. The bathroom felt like home. Overall, the hotel is quiet, visually stunning, and comfortable. My only quibble was with the restaurant or I had breakfast. The server got my order wrong and the food was somewhat cold. That can be remedied."
