Residence Inn by Marriott Alexandria Old Town South at Carlyle

Residence Inn by Marriott Alexandria Old Town South at Carlyle

8/10 Good
"Our room was large with a small kitchenette and was very clean. The lobby is very large and the staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast offering has something for everyone, was good, and quickly replenished. Parking is safe and secure in a lower level garage. For bad news, a number of the electrical outlets in our room were inoperable and too lose to hold a plug. Our shower was a a nightmare. The water pressure was fine but trying to adjust the water temperature was impossible. It ran scalding hot or ice cold. There was no in between. Neither my wife nor I could shower this morning. Since we were to leave shortly it didn’t make any sense to file a complaint with the lobby."

"Asked for a quiet room upon checkin, had already listed that on the reservation, yet had to argue several times with the checkin man that yes I wanted it. Room was mostly quiet except it overlooked the busy roadway. Small king room.no whirlpool, no room safe. Sheets were terrible, old with lots of pilling. Breakfast was standard, but overcooked eggs. Close to bus stop to get to metro train to dc."
