Washington Motels

NOTHING EVERYTHING

a little bit far from metro station(15min. walk), however it is abeautiful quiet town.

It's near Safeway Supermarket which is good. There is also a Subway shop. The wireless connection in my room was almost zero. had to be at the lobby to receive proper reception. Situated in a rough neighbourhood.

It was close to the subway and within walking distance to downtown, whic is why I chose it. we were able to walk down to the subway and for $1.85 went to the Ronald Reagan national airport - right to the check in counter. The best deal we ever had getting to an airport. There was no way to get hot water for drinks nor a fridge for cold drinks. And it was at a corner where huge delivery trucks go past early in the morning for the wholesale markets just down the street from us. Could overcome the noise of traffic by putting the airconditioning up high.

There was nothing I could really "like", it was just a normal hotel with a comfortable bed and a bathroom. Probably I liked the fact that they had not charged my credit card before I actually came to the hotel, so if I hadn't come, they probably wouldn't have charged me (I got that impression). Not enough towels.

It was really close to the subwaystation, just a few minuits to the center of Washington DC. The stuff was helpful in explaining the way to the station. With recognition of the low price it was fantastic. Not as old as most of the cheaper Motels.

Beside the water it was quite. We stayed for three nights the first night we were up all night due to water running in the bathtub. It was so heavy we could hear it through the closed door. When I asked them to fix it they decided it would be easier for them to move us but we had to move right then (we were on our way out for the day. Luckily we were not on a tight schedule!) When I went to transfer our things the maid was cleaning the room we were being moved to. When I went to tell the front desk and ask if we could move later I was told no. Go tell her you are moving now and do it. I was not about to interfere with the maid, her job is a lot harder than the front desk! And why was I supposed to tell her we were moving rooms? Isn't that the job of the front desk? When I got back to the room to ask the maid if I could move ( and very embarrassed about it btw) the mantenience man was there arguing with the maid about us moving over. When it was over I asked if it was ok if I moved our stuff while she was cleaning (my family is waiting in the car) she said no. I had to wait until she was finished. Thankfully, she was almost finished so by the time I got our things gathered I was able to move it all over to the new room. The maid asked me why we were moving and I told her about the water she exclaimed, "I told them about that yesterday." Excuse me? They knew before they put us in the room and didn't do anything about it? The rest of the stay was okay until we were leaving our room to check out. The door handle literally fell off when we went to open the door. Nice.

Most of the staff were friendly or at least did their job. The manager on duty; Jacky seems to be willing to help customers. It is good that they have hot water, tea, and coffee at the lobby all the time; not only at breakfast! The guy who checked us in made a big mess when we were checking in. I have been to other Super 8 locations where the breakfast is much better and facility is more pleasant. Towels were not that clean; yet, they seemed to keep them clean because the cleaning personal were willing to change the towels every day.

Location Washington The room had no microwave why would you have a frigerator and no microwave doesn't make any sense

My husband got sick so we left a day early and they did not charge us for the extra day They had a shuttle to the train but on the return could find a bus that was going our direction walked through an area that I did not feel safe i

I only liked the hallporter, he was very helpful. It was a large room with such dirty windows you could not look through. I did not like anything, worst was the neighbourhood. I would not recomend Host Alexandria to my enemy.

The lack of internet, service, and cleanliness made it hard to stay there happily.

price, staff were excellent and helpful location wasn't great for public transportation. rooms were very basic
