Club Wyndham Old Town Alexandria

Our stay at the Wyndham Resort in Alexandria was a mixed experience. While the room was acceptable, clean, and pleasant, the continuous sounds from the trains and metro were rather distracting. If the rooms are insulated for sound, then I'd be truly concerned if they weren't. Assuming they are insulated, the noise level is quite distracting. There isn't much to make this "resort" stand out. It's really just a nice hotel in Alexandria. It is conveniently located for walking or riding the tram and, as alluded to earlier, very near the metro/train station. My biggest negative, which applies to all Wyndham resorts we've stayed at, is the high-pressure tactics employed to try and get you to attend the "tour" to encourage you to buy into the timeshares. We agreed to attend a 30-minute session provided we were allowed a late checkout, only to find out the "late checkout" was 11 am (the same time as the "tour"). When asked if we could extend that checkout time, we were eventually allowed until 11:30, but that didn't help us at all because the tour was scheduled to go beyond 11:30 anyway. We still had to be packed and out before 11 to attend the "tour." And you can't skip the tour because you're charged a refundable reservation fee of $40, only refundable if you attend the event. Generally speaking, I'd say this "resort" is nothing more than a conveniently located hotel.

2 issues: Coffee service in the lobby is apparently only for business travelers. For those on vacation who have relaxed morning start it’s usually closed. Elevator to the parking 2-3 floors below has been closed for repairs for over a year and there is no alternative to taking the stairs. (Handicapped beware) Other than the maintenance issues it’s a fun gateway to the region via metro where the elevators work.

This is a great place to stay to visit Old Town Alexandria. So close to everything! We really appreciated out concierge Craig. The room needed a little TLC but nothing major. We had a fire drill while there due to a burnt hamburger and the building emptied in no time flat! There is a wonderful patio outside the front door. Free trolley and bus service - no need for a car if flying. Plenty of wonderful restaurants on King Street. Metro into DC is right across the street. Took the water taxi to DC Wharf. Definitely recommend!!!

Do not use Live Suites, TRPJoseph or VRBO to book this property. We were specifically told that our reservation was guaranteed and would not be canceled for any reason. This proved to be untrue. Live Suites canceled our reservation 10 weeks prior to our trip. We then booked a different unit with TRPJoseph. TRP Joseph cancelled our reservation 3 days prior to our stay. Both management companies told VRBO that we had actually canceled the reservation.

The location is so convenient! The rooms are very large and extremely clean. The kitchen is stocked with everything you would need for cooking and eating. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice laundry located on every floor. You are right at Amtrak, Metro, free Trolley, and Dash stops! Metro takes you to MGM so no use for a car. No hotel restaurant but plenty within walking distance and local shopping were great. Lamar at the from desk was amazing.

My family has stayed with Wyndham Old Town Alexandria many times over the past several years. Its welcoming presence and convenience bring us back. Iespecially commend its staff for caring and immediate response to any request.
