    Value for money

The location was perfect, right in the heart of the Old Town retail district and within walking distance to the waterfront. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with well-decorated common areas and comfortable rooms. The staff was excellent, always friendly and accommodating. Additionally, the convenience of on-site parking and the option to use the complimentary bikes were great perks.

There was nothing I didn't like.

The hotel's ambience was elegant yet home-like, with a comfortable lobby for gathering. The staff was accommodating and friendly, allowing me to check out later. The location was convenient, surrounded by good cafes and restaurants, with a farmers market nearby.

The hotel had funky décor and beautiful wallpaper, giving it a unique and inviting atmosphere. The room was spacious and well-decorated, with comfortable furniture and a cozy bed. The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating, and the on-site facilities such as the indoor pool and fitness room were excellent. The location was convenient, with a CVS across the street, on-site parking available, and easy access to all the attractions in Old Town Alexandria.

Nothing, it was perfect.
