What Guests Are Saying

“Embassy Suites by Hilton Alexandria Old Town – April 2026 In planning for a 2026 visit from my sister, we focused on how best to experience the Cherry Blossom Festival in the Tidal Basin and the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. She would be arriving on Amtrak from Wilmington, and my apartment is in Old Town Alexandria, so we looked for hotels adjacent to Metro’s King Street station (which serves Amtrak, the VRE, and the Yellow and Blue rail lines, in addition to several bus lines. There are several excellent hotel choices at King Street station, but one that stands out is the Embassy Suites, right across the street from the Amtrak/Metro rail station. The hotel is family-friendly, spacious, clean, and safe. There’s a wonderful made-from-scratch breakfast for all guests, along with a 90-minute happy hour featuring complimentary drinks (2 per person) in the early evening. My sister’s room was ready when we arrived at around 3 p.m., and as we checked her in we found the room’s TV welcomed us by name. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was equipped with sustainable dispensers for the shower (no single-use plastics in the room). The room was quiet and remained that way throughout the two nights my sister stayed there. During our stay the presence of families with young children was evident – kids were clearly enjoying themselves and were exploring features of the hotel geared especially for young children. We found hotel staff members helpful, not intrusive, and alert to the needs of the hotel’s guests. On the same street half a block away there’s Theismann’s Restaurant & Bar, which offers a full bar and a well-crafted menu of moderate- to high-priced American dishes. I’ve recommended nearby hotels in the past, and those recommendations remain. I can now add the Embassy Suites to the list. It offers ready access to the entire District-Maryland-Virginia region served by Metro and related regional public transit services, and is a great point of embarkation when exploring Northern Virginia and D.C.” — ChrisMcNeil, 5 stars

“This hotel was just fantastic for our 2-night stay in Old Town Alexandria. The location was perfect as it is right across the street from Amtrak, Metro as well as VRE to include the free shuttle Trolley that drives up and down King Street to the waterfront. All of the staff that we encountered to include, the front desk, housekeeping, breakfast area, Happy Hour area and management were great. The complimentary breakfast and dining area were very good with a made to order feature and the Happy Hour in the evening was very good as well. Our room was actually two rooms with a small living room and separate bedroom that was connected by a kitchen area with a microwave, refrigerator and counter with a sink. The room was spotless as well as very quiet even with the normal train activity across the street. The interior public space area was undergoing some renovations during the day but was handled very well and out of the way. All in all, a very pleasant stay and when we next visit Old Town this Embassy Suites will be our pick again.” — jpete, 5 stars

“We recently stayed at the Embassy Suites Alexandria Old Town and had an amazing time. Our room was comfortable and clean. The provided shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, body wash, and body lotion smelled amazing. Their breakfast was great and prepared to your liking, whether it was an omelette or eggs made the way you like them, along with sausage, bacon, breakfast potatoes, French toast, pancakes, waffles, or toast, bagels, muffins. Seriously, it was a great breakfast! The evening reception with two free drinks for adults, along with free appetizers for everyone and a candy station (Andes mints, M&Ms, and Reeces Pieces). Parking is the only drawback. Parking is about $40 per night, in a parking garage underneath the hotel, but the spaces are tight. Really tight. The Metro station is literally across the street. This is where you will also catch the free King Street Trolley, which takes you down King Street where there are places to eat, shop, and watch your favorite sporting events! I would definitely stay at this hotel again.” — Vacationer, 5 stars
