Candlewood Suites Alexandria West, An Ihg Hotel, Alexandria

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and equipped with convenient amenities like a mini-fridge, microwave, and coffeemaker, making them feel like mini-apartments. However, the small rooms felt a bit cramped, and the lack of utensils and coffee supplies was a downside. The service was friendly, but the presence of a glass panel created a slight barrier. The location offered easy access to shops, a grocery store, and a mall, but encountering unwelcome individuals in the area was a negative aspect. The dining experience, although limited to delicious vegetarian couscous, was enjoyable. Overall, a decent option with some room for improvement.

The hotel rooms were spacious with amenities like a mini-fridge and microwave, but unfortunately felt dated and worn, giving off a damp smell that was quite unpleasant. Although the service was businesslike rather than friendly, the staff seemed competent. As for the dining experience, there were no specific comments provided. Overall, the hotel offers decent facilities, but some aspects may not meet everyone's expectations.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, while small, were equipped with useful amenities like a fridge, microwave, and sink, giving them an efficient apartment feel. Unfortunately, they had a strong damp smell that was quite unpleasant. The service was accommodating although the front desk being behind plexiglass felt a bit impersonal, and the location, while convenient for driving into Washington, seemed a bit rough for walking around at night.
