Top Athenaeum Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn Alexandria Old Town/Duke Street by Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 5 stayed here for 5 nights in early October. We rented 2 rooms across from each other. The location was so nice and convenient for walking to every thing we needed. We could easily walk to the nearby CVS, Whole Foods, King Street Metro, the free DASH and free King Street trolley all at the King Street station. And the hotel shuttle would take us anywhere within a mile of the hotel. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again."
