Worth booking if you want a clean 4-star within walking distance of shops, restaurants and a metro station, at close to the local median price. Expect the odd service hiccup, and remember the Washington monuments are far on foot.

The Westin Alexandria Old Town is our Best Value pick for Alexandria. It is a 4-star hotel with a guest score of 8.8 out of 10.
It suits travellers who want a tidy, well-kept room and an easy base for eating out. Guests say shops, restaurants and the metro station are within walking distance, and they praise fresh linens and clean spaces. A gym and restaurant are listed.
Skip it if flawless service is your top priority. Most guests call the staff friendly and professional, but some report unhelpful or slow service. Also note that free Wi-Fi does not appear in this hotel's facility list, so it is not confirmed.
Location and getting around
The address is 400 Courthouse Square. Guests rate the location 9.1 out of 10 and like being able to walk to local shops, restaurants and the metro station.
The big Washington sights are another matter. As straight-line estimates, the Jefferson Memorial is 9.1 km away, about 114 minutes on foot. Nationals Park is 9.2 km, about 115 minutes, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial 9.4 km, about 118 minutes. All are far, so you will need public transport or a taxi.
What guests say
The 8.8 comes from 201 reviews, a modest sample, yet it ranked joint first of the 10 properties we compared.
Cleanliness is a clear positive: rooms are described as tidy and well maintained with fresh linens. The walkable location is the other recurring compliment.
Service is mixed. Many describe a friendly, professional team, while some guests report unhelpful or slow service. Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed.
