I have stayed at this hotel every year since it was built. I will not stay there again. After accidently booking with hotels.com instead of the Country Inn reservation line, I was treated rudely by the clerk at check in. I had asked when making the reservation if the hotel was pet friendly and told it was for a $10 fee. At check in, I was told I could only have a smoking room. I travel frequently with my dog and stay in hotels 40-60 nights a year and have never been forced to stay in a smoking room. Since I was going to lose my money if I left, I stayed. The room reaked of smoke and I turned on the heat and opened the window. At 5:26am the smoke detector went off! I packed up and told the desk clerk that my room was filled with smoke and maybe he should check on it. To say he was not concerned was an understatement. He told me to take the batteries out of the detector and that the burnt hair smell was just the dust burning off the heater. If the hotel were really on fire his panal would be going off and more than just me would be complaining. SERIOUSLY!!!

We booked a king whirlpool suite - it was only $20 more than a regular room. The whirlpool tub was awesome!The bed was comfy, the room was super quiet, the shower was clean and worked great, friendly staff, A+ on breakfast. I would give it five stars, but the blanket was thin and cheap (luckily we had one of own along) and the location isn't anything to write home about - just off a freeway exit ramp. We were visiting family in the area and if we go again, no question we'd stay there again.

The staff was friendly and the very helpful.They have a breakfast room as big as a resturant buffet. The room was clean and inviting.
I booked my room from priceline so I got it for $79

We decided to stay a night in Alexandria at the last minute. After calling a few hotels in town, they had the best price at $79.00 for 2 adults and 2 queen beds with breakfast. The staff was friendly over the phone and in person and I genuinely felt welcomed.

The room was clean and nice. It was also quiet but that could be because there may not have been many people around us. The breakfast was nice, I had oj, belgium waffle, sausage and eggs. There were many other good choices.

The only drawback to the stay was that we were on the other side of the building, and the parking for our room was a gravel area which was dark and ours was the only vehicle. The back door also did not lock - something which the staff knew of and were trying to get fixed.

Other than that, it was a nice stay at the last minute. I would be open to stopping there again.
