Categories

Cleanliness
3.5
Multiple reviews mention musty and cigarette smells, dirty carpets, dead bugs in hallways, a live bug in bed, and peeling paint in the hot tub — overall cleanliness is poor.
Service
8.5
Front desk attendants were praised as amazing and hardworking in several reviews, but there were notable communication issues (confusion about kids' meals/breakfast and inconsistent information).
Location
8.5
Consistently noted as convenient — close to I-94, stores, fast food, the bowling alley, and Willy T's; location is a clear positive.
Room Quality
5.5
Rooms are frequently described as old, tired and dated; some rooms are more updated than others. Issues include loud/dehumidifying A/C, dampness, long walks to distant rooms and occasional odors.
Amenities
8.5
Pool, large hot tub, arcade and rec area are repeatedly cited as the main draw and were working — however there are maintenance/stock issues (peeling hot tub paint, empty towel baskets).
Value for Money
6
Price is noted as a pro by some, but missing complimentary breakfast, extra dining costs and cleanliness/condition issues reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
7.5
The on-site/attached restaurant received positive comments for food; however guests noted dinner was expensive and there was confusion/absence of complimentary breakfast for kids in some cases.
Overall Experience
7.2
Many guests enjoyed the pool/hot tub and location and called it a decent stay, but pervasive datedness, cleanliness problems and inconsistent communication tempered the overall experience.

Overall a decent stay, could use some updates, cleaning and better staff communication.
Pros:

This is the only hotel in Alexandria currently with a working pool and hot tub, which was the only reason we stayed here. The location was great being close to the bowling alley and so many stores and fast food places. The pillows and blankets were comfy, the attached restaurant had great food. My kids loved the rec area to play basketball and soccer.

Cons:

The staff seemed to not have great communication. Some told us breakfast and dinner was free for the kids and gave us the coupons, others were saying only breakfast was free for them. The hallways had a lot of dead bugs, thankfully not in our room. Some of the rooms seemed more updated than others- we had a total of 3 rooms in our party. The A/C dehumidifier was SO loud that we couldn't sleep the first night. Once we turned it to only cool it was fine but then the room was extremely damp. We were greatful for a working pool and hot tub but the area was very outdated and dirty. The paint in the hot tub was peeling off by the chunks then floating in the water.
