Hampton Inn Alexandria - Old Town King St. Metro

“Perfect for tourists, families”

Location is perfect for tourists - 5 minute walk to DC Metro (blue line, yellow line). friendly, helpful service (I'm looking at you, Betty!). No daily maid service unless requested (towels readily available) which I count as an advantage. Breakfast from 6 to 10: mini-omelettes (pre-cooked), potat… more

Location is perfect for tourists - 5 minute walk to DC Metro (blue line, yellow line). friendly, helpful service (I'm looking at you, Betty!). No daily maid service unless requested (towels readily available) which I count as an advantage. Breakfast from 6 to 10: mini-omelettes (pre-cooked), potatoes and bacon, one day; scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy the next; oat meal, waffles, hard boiled eggs, cereal, yogurt, juice, milk, everyday. Coffee all day. Several good restaurants within a very short walk, from student-cheap to upscale. A popular choice for families with children. Lots of electrical outlets for charging your devices.

“FYI - Pool closed permanently- but staff is amazing”

So we books initially on the sole purpose of the outside pool. However we learned that they closed the pool down in 2019 and have never opened it again. That was a bummer.

So we books initially on the sole purpose of the outside pool. However we learned that they closed the pool down in 2019 and have never opened it again. That was a bummer. The most outstanding part of the stay was the staff. We have stayed in tons of hotels- from the front desk staff to housekeeping and the breakfast staff, they truly are amazing. So polite and genuinely happy ,constantly cleaning and stocking up.. very nice. They held our bags when we got there Friday AM before we could check in. And even allowed us to have a late check out of 2pm since we were catching the Amtrak at 5 pm. The room- we stayed on the 6th floor- we had a two double bed room. Very clean- beds were very comfortable. Had a Fridge and microwave. The downsides… the curtains do NOT close , had to use a hair clip to help hold curtain together to block out light . There is no closet.. had a nice dress that needed to be hung up , but alas.. no place to hang it. The bathroom - the tub has an interesting floor, not good drainage due to the shape. . The toilet was really low to the floor, we have hip and knee issues so having to squat so low was a problem for us. The elevators seem old and took forever to come up or go down. And it seemed like there was no air conditioning in the hallway. The breakfast was pretty normal, no complaints. There was always bottled water out to take freely- it really came in Handy coming back from an excursion and being so hot out. Honestly we will stay here again frankly because the staff is so awesome and the rooms were really clean. There is a trolley pick up right outside the doors so it’s really convenient and it’s two blocks from the metro and Amtrak… it’s a win win.

Great location on King Street. Free trolley stop right outside the door. Room was clean and quiet. Typical hot breakfast included. In the evening the lobby can only be accessed with the room key, so felt safe. Only critique was the parking situation. The parking for hotel is located behind the hotel and underground. We received no instruction regarding the parking, so caused undue stress when we first arrived. Had to park on the street and go into the lobby to get instructions and directions to garage. The garage is locked and must use room key to get gate to open. The parking spaces are rather tight. Once parked, did feel the car was safe.
