Hotel is in severe need of maintenance. Funny smells; nonsmoking rooms smell like smoke and vinegar. Noisy. It looked like the maid had made a valiant effort to clean the room, but the paint, carpets, etc. were just too old and worn to be cleaned. Electrical system out of date and not up to code; my hair dryer dimmed the... more

I stayed at this motel for 3 nights. I expected a hotel, but this is more like a motel, with some rooms with direct access to the parking lot. It's great if you are with a car. But if you arrive without car, you get a second floor room, and you feel much safer. Rooms, carpets are old, but clean.... more

The hotel is old, but more importantly, it is clean and safe. We stayed 8 nights. Staff was friendly and helpful. Nothing fancy but that is what we were looking for. If you simply want a clean, safe and affordable place to sleep, this is the spot. Valuable tips I wish we had known ahead of time. There is not... more

Travelodge seems to be a good deal in a good location but was not very convenient to metro or restaurant areas. It would be far better to stay right on King street, somewhere closer to Alexandria metro, or even further out along the metro line. This place is horrible! Long wait for proprietor to show up at the desk, hotel... more

This is exactly as advertised, a plain-jane one star hotel, a place to crash, no more, no less. It was old/dated but clean, with no amenities except cable. I stayed here for 8 nights, paying $100/night with tax, and was very happy for what I got relative to what I paid. My only caution is that the 0.25 mile walk... more

The hotel is an older building but maintained well. The room was clean and bathroom was in good condition. The sheets, pillows and bed were clean. Everything in the room was in good condition. The hotel is located in a great location. You are only four blocks from the harbor, great shops and restaruants. We enjoyed walking and talking. We... more

Travelodge Alexandria was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Our trip was with 21 students and 6 adults. We had 7 smelly, dingy nasty rooms with only two towels per room. When everyone asked for more we were told they didn't have any more. The shower/bathtubs leaked, electric fuses would blow when using the hair dryers. For the... more

The negative reviews in the past may have had an effect on cleaning this place up, because although it was an older hotel in need of some minor repairs, I found it to be a VERY, VERY reasonable place to stay in the D.C. area. The room was comfortable. The walk to and from the Metro is 6 blocks or... more

At first I was skeptical of some of the reviews.. It really can't be that bad can it? I was wrong. The major problem was the cleanliness of the room, which was absolutley filthy. I would say this room would be comprable to a flea bag motel on the side of some state Highway. However, I didn't feel like the... more
