I have been staying here during the week for almost two years. The whole staff has been great. The rooms are always clean and the entire hotel and grounds are well kept. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

I have stayed at this hotel for a year and half. I could have stayed at any hotel in town, but why. The Holiday Inn Express is clean, friendly employees and a great location. If you stay in a hotel for a year and half you are going to have problems. The staff was on top of the problem and fixed it promptly. I will use The Holiday Inn Express every time I need a room in Alexandria.

While in my hometown (of all places), we had to stay at a hotel so naturally we chose a Holiday Inn. It's our first choice when traveling. This hotel was horrible. It was not updated and the customer service was horrible. After the front desk staff finished visiting with the 10 or so friends who were hanging around, eating cookies, and smoking, she checked us in. The beds were not of usual HI quality, half the parking lot was roped off which made us have to carry our bags a great distance in the rain (another hotel guest didn't have access to any handicapped spaces so we helped him as well), the interior was not clean....it was a mess. This is a fairly new structure I believe, so I was a little surprised at its condition. I was going to speak to a manager upon our departure but no-one was available. We will NEVER stay at this Holiday Inn again; but we have had at least a hundred GOOD stays at Holiday Inns nationwide, so it still remains our favorite chain.

I'm a Marriott customer by and large, but HI has really cleaned up nice over the last few years. So I use the chain as my fallback property when my primary chain isn't available.

Lots of parking, pool too.

Nice clean rooms.

Free breakfast.
