Embassy Suites by Hilton Alexandria Old Town

Location was great. Atrium space nice for Happy Hour and breakfast.

The entire facility seems tired and worn out. Desperately needs an overhaul. Hot grill breakfast was fine but the cold breakfast (quicker) options did not seem particularly healthy. Always a line at the bar for HH.

Rooms large, great shower. Buffet breakfast excellent. Free drinks in the evening a nice touch. Being opposite the metro station very convenient.

Only very minor points - there could have been more hooks in the bathroom for towels.

The location was fantastic! Staff were all kind and courteous. Rooms were suitable for our needs. Bartender was crazy fast!

The happy hour was cool but I wish there was a better way to access it. The snacks were a very slow moving line.

The location across from the Metro was the biggest selling point. We used it daily to get back and forth to the city.

When looking forward to using the hot tub after dinner, we found the door locked with no life guard available. We reported this to the main desk and the General Manager was immediately called. He bent over backwards to accommodate us and even called in a life guard from home to open the facility.

The buffalo wings. The swimming pool and spa.

Breakfast sausage and bacon. The pool/fitness bathroom (shower) does not get warm. It stays cold.

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.
