“Affordable Luxury”

This trip was my mother's first to our Nation's capital. Staying in Alexandria, at the Hotel Monaco, was the highlight of our trip. It was so luxurious and comfortable that she did not want to leave. After a day of sight seeing we ended up picking up dinner 2 of the 3 nights that we were there and ate in the room! It was lovely.

“Absolutely Fabulous!!!”

We stayed at the Hotel Monaco Alexandria May 26th through May 31st. I don't even know where to start. When we checked in, the conceriege asked if we were celebrating anything. When I told him it was our anniversary and my parent's 50th anniversary, he immediately went to get us somthing to drink and toast with. He was wonderful-the rooms were wonderful-the lobby was wonderful. Everything was wonderful. Well, almost everything. Our only problem was the air conditioner in my parent's room. When we notified the front desk, my parent's were moved to a new room immediately. I appreciated the speed at which the problem was addressed. The rooms were lovely, so large and roomy. The bathroom was spotless and equipped with great toiletries, hairdryer, and even q-tips and cotton balls! Really fun robes are in all the closets. Free wi-fi, huge flat-screen TV, in-room safe, and a beautiful chaise lounge chair. I loved this hotel. I've never stayed in a place where everyone was so incredibly friendly. The location was excellent-CVS pharmacy on the next block-a great restaurant next door-La Madeline. The King Street Trolley was convenient when we were on King Street but it was not very timely when we were needing it at the King Street Metro-it would finally show up but be prepared for a wait. Overall, we couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. This is a first rate establishment and we hated to leave.

“Very Beautiful”

Very beautiful hotel but very pricy.

“Beautiful!”

This hotel is absolutely beautiful! It is located in a great area for shopping, eating and general fun. The waterfront is only a few blocks away and they provided a shuttle to the Metro. I'd definitely stay here again.

“Too Hot for October”

The weekend we stayed experienced warmer than usual tempertures. We turned the heat off and it was still too hot in the room. I guess the air was turned off for the season. We didn't ask the staff for assistance because we were just too tired to deal with it after spending the day at a family wedding. Luckily, we were able to open the windows and it was much better. Aside for this issue, the hotel is great, the service is great and the location is fabulous! I would stay there again on my next visit to VA.

“Wish we could have spent another week there.”

Gorgeous hotel. Perfect for our honeymoon. The staff was helpful and courteous. The room was clean and well stocked. We had a fabulous time there.

“Lovely Hotel; Great Location”

Wonderful place to stay for both Alexandria and DC visit. Staff was very courteous, freindly, and responsive to requests. Rooms and public areas were very nice. Little details -- like chilled drinks in the lobby and option to have a gold fish in your room -- make this hotel feel like a home away from home.

“Will be back!”

This was a fantastic hotel. The rooms were very clean and quiet. They accepted our small dog with no fee and we will certainly go back. It was a great location. Very impressed.

“Very pleasantly surprised”

Location, room, facilities all great. The surprise was the staff quality. Very personable and helpful. Our first reaction was this management knows how to accomodate.

“Great Hotel...Fabulous service”

My husband and I recently stayed at the Hotel Monaco with our 18 month son. We had a great experience. The whole staff was wonderful from the shuttle driver to the desk staff. We had the shuttle pick us up from the airport and they were pretty prompt. The staff had a crib set up in our room within 10 minutes of our arrival. Everyone was extremely friendly to our son which I was grateful for. We did experience the warm temperatures in the hallway but the lobby temperature was pleasent. On the 3rd night of our stay our AC broke in our room (and there was a loud party in the room next to ours). We called the front desk and they switched rooms for us pretty quickly. They even gave my son some toys to play with while we packed and did the swap. The location is amazing. Great restaurants around and plently of places to walk to. The hotel is not within comfortable walking distance to the metro but there is a free trolley that runs from the waterfront to the metro every 15 minutes. The trolley picks up a block from the hotel and runs from 10 to 10. Overall we had a great stay!
