Top Athenaeum Hotel Reviews

Archer Hotel Old Town Alexandria

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel in a perfect spot in town"

Residence Inn Alexandria Old Town/Duke Street by Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Short walk to the Metro, CVS, Whole Foods and restaurants. Very quiet neighborhood. Laundry on site. Our room was clean, updated and comfortable with all the dishes we could need for a 4 night stay. The staff members were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good and they offered egg whites and turkey sausage too. There is a small grocery in the lobby with all sorts of snacks, beverages and freezer meals. They were out of laundry soap so we went to CVS so no big deal. We will stay here for any and all DC visits!! Be sure to check Metro times at King Station if you need to travel anywhere early. Highly recommend!"
