I wanted to give a review on both the fron desk and the staff at the resturant Bistro on First. There was a young man at the front desk who helped my party at check in. He was very profetional and knowledgable about the area. He gave us a map of the area and was very helpful. At the hotel... More

I have stayed in the hotel several times over the past five years. Bill the bartender is the best bartender I have ever seen. Although I have a choice of where to stay in Alexandria, Bill is the reason I always come back to the Holiday Inn on First Street. Bill knows what he is doing behind the bar, he... More

The hotel is close to my office so often stop by when traffic is bad as well as recommending it to clients and friends when they visit the area. The location makes it great for those visiting or working in DC or at the Pentagon without the hassle or cost of being directly in DC. The staff go out of... More

I have had several meetings at this hotel over the past three years. We all head for the bar at the end of the day and Bill keeps our group well served. Not only does he know what everyone is drinking but seems to arrive at just the right moment for refills. As someone who lives in the area, it... More

This hotel is not only in a great location, but the customer service is also great. I stay here often when in DC. Alex at the front desk, and Bill behind the bar offer consistent and outstanding customer service. If you have ice cream Bill will ensure it remains frozen while you finish your beer. Alex is consistently polite and... More

I live a couple of blocks away, so I have never actually been a guest in the hotel, but I'm pretty sure I'd like it, because this hotel has a great little bar with a very loyal local clientele. The weekday bartender, Bill, is one of the friendliest, most attentive barkeeps in Alexandria, which must be why neighborhood folks keep... More

The staff at the front desk and at the restaurant have always provided outstanding service. However, two employees stand head and shoulders above the rest: Alex and Bill. Both employees go above and beyond what is typically expected. They treat you with a level of respect, service and attention that is warm and welcoming, personal and professional, friendly and familial.... More

Alex at the front desk is awesome and Bill is the best bartender ever. These two staff members are consistently professional and firendly. The hotel is in a great location, 10 min walk to King Street, and a Super Market right next door. I stay here all the time because of the location, but primarily because of the staff. More

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Amelsa welcomed us to the breakfast buffet every morning, served us coffee and tea, and made sure we were taken care of. We were in town for the March for Life in D.C., so we did not spend a lot of time at the hotel--mainly sleeping & breakfast. Shuttle took us to Reagan... More
