Date of Stay: June, 2009

Staff was friendly & bed comfortable. One problem... the bathroom: terrible odor apparently from very poor ventilation. Crack in the ceiling confirmed previous (maybe recent) water damage. Items in the bathroom did not dry well. Vent in the shower stall was really filthy. Few strands of hair (not mine) on bathroom floor. Did not track down odor and observe other problems until after unpacked, and was too tired to switch rooms then.

It was fine for the money. You advertise in old Towne, but it wasn't too close to the heart of old Towne Alexandria. Good mile walk.

	Date of Stay: August, 2008
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.

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!

	Date of Stay: May, 2009
Really enjoyed this hotel stay. The staff was really helpful and friendly. The best part of the stay had to be the free snack room. I would recommend this hotel it was nice not overly extravagant but nice for what it was. My husband and i really enjoyed our stay. The staff was really nice and helpful.

THis hotel is a good value for the money, if you don't mind not having the best bed and the newest bath fixtures. The bed comfort is somewhat lacking if you're used to the pillow-tops at Hilton, but I have a bad back and survived it. The showers water temp was hard to control but could be accomplished with some patience. That said, the room was recently painted, carpet looked rather new, and room was outfitted nicely. The hotel shows its age in some ways, but makes up for it big time with a few accoutrements you normally don't get in this part of D.C. FREE Breakfast (hot and cold foods), FREE parking, FREE shuttle to the metro in Alexandria, and FREE snacks 24/7 in a kick-butt snack room that has everything from ice cream bars to soup, chips, granola, soda, coffee, and on and on. I had 3 kids on this trip and this made it very nice.

	Date of Stay: May, 2009
The room was spacious and nicely furnished. The bathroom was kind of small and could have used some extra cleaning. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.

Date of Stay: November, 2007

I stayed at the BW Old Colony Inn for a week and I thought it was great. It's about a mile's walk from King Street in Old Town Alexandria, and about the same (I think) from the closest Metro station. I enjoyed walking everywhere and felt safe, but the hotel shuttle will take you to any local locations. I used the shuttle a number of times. They have a full hot breakfast in the morning - eggs, sausage, bacon, home fries, waffles, etc., and it was good food. They have a business center and fitness center with hot tub, free wireless internet in the rooms, and dvd players in the rooms with free rentals at the front desk. The best part, though, I think, is their 24 hour free snack room. Yes, free! How many hotels do that? They keep it stocked with bottled water and soda, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, soup, cookies, pudding, ice cream, granola bars, chips, nuts, etc. I understand they're planning to add sandwiches soon. This one amenity would keep me coming back to the hotel because I think it's such a nice touch. If I could change one thing, I'd suggest that they update the mattresses, because they're firmer than I'd have liked. Otherwise though, I thought everything was great.

	Date of Stay: March, 2009
Bedding was comfortable, free sodas and snacks. I've stayed there in different rooms three times. Overall, the rooms are okay, somewhat nice. The bathrooms are spartan, however and aren't up to the level of the rest of the room. A good variety of free cable channels is available.

	Date of Stay: March, 2007
Room rate was more than advertised. Hotel staff were rude. Sheets and towels were worn and thin. Room was very hot, I was advised to open a window. Will not return.

	Date of Stay: July, 2007
Loved the free snack room what a fantastic idea! I would recommend this hotel to anyone. It was quiet, clean, efficiently run and had access to everything we needed. We enjoyed walking around the area and taking the free shuttle to Old Town and to the metro station. I would definitely stay there again.

	Date of Stay: December, 2006
quick to respond to problems/and fast repair/vanity area needs to be enlarged

	Date of Stay: June, 2007
Reasonably close to old town Alexandria. I chose it because of those in the area we wanted to visit; it was the only one to specify in the room availability, the smoking preference. I don't know if that meant that the others with availability did not have non smoking rooms available but I did not want to risk ending up in a smoking room.

	Date of Stay: May, 2007
Staff was very helpful. Needs better (more) transport service to Metro system.

	Date of Stay: December, 2006
"Good for business travelers or turists. Close to the Dulles Airport and Washington, DC. The room we had for one night was big, clean had DVD player and High Speed Internet. Excelent hot breakfast included. Free parking. We will book again."

	Date of Stay: February, 2007
Free transportation from airport, dinner, & destination next day. Nothing. Great for the cost. Free business center.

	Date of Stay: October, 2006
Great breakfast selection. Warm hospitality - even had warm cookies at check-in. Large fitness center with sauna. Meeting Room only accommodates 30.

	Date of Stay: May, 2006
"We stayed here for four nights and had no complaints. Clean rooms, okay breakfast, great shuttle service & helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again."
