Best Western Old Colony Inn - Washington, USA 

Great Place To Stay!!!
Posted: Sun, Jan 18 2009
This was a great place to stay to visit DC, Alexandria and Mount Vernon. The place was extremely clean and the staff was super helpful and friendly. On the edge of Old Town, it was within walking distance of everything one would want to visit in Alexanria, not to mention the Metro station. The daily breakfast buffet was excellent and the 24-hour snack kitchen was always well stocked. This place is well worth the price and is highly recommended.

For the Hungry Traveler

Although the bathroom floor needed cleaning, my overall impression was much better than usual. Hot breakfast buffet was way above the usual Best Western, et al. fare. A well stocked public kitchen area at end of hall was stocked with free juices/drinks and snacks. I was stunned. The nearest Metro is a few miles down King St. King St./Old Town is a one mile walk down Washington St. from the motel.

Excellent place to stay!

The Best Western is very clean. The bed was a bit soft, but after the first night I didn't even notice. All staff was very friendly and courteous. I requested a non-smoking room and there wasn't any hint of smoke in the room, this was a big point for me because I have stayed in so called "non-smoking" rooms and have had to request a new room because of the smokey smell. There is a snack bar on the 2nd floor. This was a life saver. There was bottled water, soda, ice cream, juice, milk, chips, cookies, breakfast bars, trail mix, pudding, soups, and coffee.... Do you get the picture? I was expecting a minimal breakfast but there were eggs, waffles, grits, toast, fruit, sausage, bacon, & juice. The shuttle driver can take you "Old Town" Alexandria where there are lots of shops and restaurants. The driver will also drop off/pick up from the metro station to get to different sites in D.C. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone.

You Really Must Stay Here...

I spend many days researching where we should stay on our trip to DC. I am so glad we stayed here. The hotel is smaller, personal, courteous and helpful staff, clean rooms, nice area. They have a hotel shuttle that brought us to and from the hotel and nearby metro station at no charge. The hotel has free covered parking. The breakfast is absolutely incredible. They have the usual cold cereal, toast, muffins, juices, coffee, tea, fresh fruit...melons, pineapple. Fresh waffles, scrambled eggs, potatoes, biscuits and sausage gravy, ham, bacon, grits, sausage. This was a wonderful, complete breakfast for the entire family, free every morning! It saved us a bundle during our 3 day stay. Also, the hotel has a fully stocked snack kitchen open 24 hours a day. It has EVERYTHING anyone in your family could want...A fridge full of pop, water, milk, juices, yogurt, pudding. Freezer with ice cream treats. Also, coffee, tea and cocoa. Instant soups and noodles and cereal. A dozen different varieties of granola bars, breakfast bars, trail mix, peanuts, popcorn, rice krispies treats, many varieties of cookies, and bags of doritos and sunchips etc. UNBELIEVABLE! We were traveling with 2 teens and this room saved us from having to bring snacks along. We actually only paid for one meal out each day because of the huge breakfast and the snack room. jWe would absolutely stay here again. The staff was friendly and helpful. 5 minutes from the metro, very near Ronald Reagan airport, and other restaurants. Near old town Aexandria and just a few blocks from the river. The room price for this hotel is competative with others like it, but when you factor in the free parking, big breakfast and snack room, I think it can't be beat!
