Residence Inn Alexandria Old Town South at Carlyle

I wanted a hotel close to the Reagan-National Airport and this fit this bill. My room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. There is a small lobby bar — small bites only for food — with a fun and personable bartender!! It was a nice experience for business travel.

While the room is a bit smaller than other Residence Inns I've been to, the bed was extremely comfortable, the seating area for breakfast was spacious and comfortable, and the location was great - walkable to restaurants but yet in a quiet location. Shout out to Jocelyn for making our stay just a little bit more fun!

I stayed 5 nights at the Residence Inn at Carlyle and it was quite disappointing. This hotel doesn't match other Residence Inn hotels I've stayed in and is more expensive because of its location near Old Town. The room was dirty, we saw some toe nail clippings on the carpet near the sofa, indicating they don't vacuum the carpets. This was confirmed during our stay when housekeeping 'cleaned ' our room midway through our stay and they didn't vacuum the carpet. The room was also poorly maintained and repaired. The carpet has some tears with loose thread hanging out, with many stains and what appeared to be bubble gum dried in. One of the cabinets was missing a handle and you had to open the drawer below it to reach up to open the cabinet. The kitchen didn't have necessary supplies to cook with, only some plates, cups, bowls, and eating utensils. There wasn't a kitchen knife, cutting board, or anything to prepare and cook food with. We ended up using only the microwave to heat up frozen food since the kitchen was useless for cooking. The wi-fi was very slow, even though I selected the enhanced high speed connection as a Marriott gold member. Then there was parking charges. I was able to avoid paying for parking since my room rate including parking, but they charge $40 per night to park a car in the underground property. I would give this Residence Inn a miss if you were coming to the area and were expecting a room that you can actually cook in or is clea

We were charged $150 for a bottled water. This also happened to our friend! Avoid this hotel! We had an amazing stay. One our our friends said,” Did you hear them say they charged $150 for anything used out of the room?” We thought she was crazy because we didn’t hear that. She was right! We drank a bottled water and was charged $150 to our credit card!

Comfortable and quiet room. Good location. Nice neighbourhood.
