“Not bad for price and location.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

Beds were very comfortable room fairly clean except for dead bugs in bathroom ceiling light. Staff was very friendly. We had a first floor room that was very easy for my mother who can not walk very far. The Handicapped parking was about 20 ft from our door. Breakfast was not the greatest hotel breakfast I have had. Food was... More

“NO ELEVATOR, RUDE FRONT DESK, PLASTER FALLING OFF WALLS.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

This was THE worst hotel experience I have ever had. No where, on their site, is there an indication that there wasn't an elevator. My husband has problems with his legs, and this hotel put us in the room farthest from the only entrance that was accessible at night, even though I had requested a first floor room upon booking....

“Focused on Customer Service and Support”

We had a great stay at the Old Colony Inn. All of the staff were very helpful and caring. The shuttle driver was very informative about the all of the sites in Alexandria. The staff would send out the shuttle whenever we wanted a ride back from Old Town to the Inn, especially during the threat of inclement weather. The... More

“Friendly and Accommodating Staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2013

We stayed at this hotel for 4 days during one of the hottest weeks this spring - temps reached 90 degrees. As other reviewers indicated, this is an older property and is going to have its problems. The AC went out one night but was fixed by the next day. Without asking, we were refunded 1/2 the night's room rate.... More

“Nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2013

Property is older, but true to the history of the area! While our room was comfortable we could hear hallway and outside noises. The shuttle service was amazing! Drivers were very friendly and helpful.

Quality hotel; however, minor problems were encountered: Desk lamp did not work, fan in bathroom was noisy and sink stopper did not work. Staff indicated they would make a rate adjustment for our next visit.

Thank you for the great review. We are located close to so many attractions, Metro and the Airport. Our Free shuttle is a good way to travel if you do not want to walk.

“Not as Good as it once was”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2013

I've stayed at the BW Old Colony on business many times. Overall, it is clean, convenient & well run by a great staff. It is an older property, and not at all modern. But the previous owners compensated for this by making sure it was very clean, the beds were new & comfortable, the breakfast was above average, and the... More
