Alexandria Days Inn

Scary

Horrible room, bad neiborhood.

You can find something better

I rented several hotel rooms for a weekend as part of a group. My chief complaints are that: 1) 2 out of 3 rooms the A/C didn’t function very well. cold air came out but the room was always hot. no one from maintenance ever came to look at it. 2) I asked for and was granted late check-out on my last day, but was kicked out shortly after noon from one of the rooms anyway. 3) They seem to be understaffed at the front desk. There’s typically only one person and many outside calls go unanswered. 4) They stated hi-speed internet was free, but after the first night the internet was down for the rest of my stay. On the plus sides: 1) There was a room safe that was offered free of charge more or less. 2) There were interior doors that connected the doors to my group’s rooms. 3) The rooms were able to handle a fair amount of noise without drawing complaints from neighbors or management.

Traveler's tip on saving a few bucks

There’s no continental breakfast, but there’s an IHOP across the street that the front desk provides 10% off coupons for.

Under renovation

This hotel is very hard to find and is under renovation. The exterior looks almost new but the rooms were extremely dated, especially the bathrooms. The toilet did not function properly and the shower was in a bad state of repair.
