Hotel Best Western Plus Mount Vernon - Fort Belvoir (Alexandria, USA)

Guests say the hotel staff are always ready to give out recommendations for sightseeing, as well as offering directions to local attractions or nearby restaurants, and they are quick to take note of any problems with the rooms or maintenance that needs doing.

Those looking to save money by staying just out of Washington DC will do well at this hotel, as it's only a short drive to everything the city has to offer, as well as the charming Old Town Alexandria with its wonderful shopping and dining options.

While breakfast may not be suitable for those looking to fill up for a mountain hike, most guests say the options are invitingly presented and enough for a satisfying meal before heading out for the day.

Unfortunately, some guests report that the air-conditioning units in their rooms are old and can prove to be noisy, which disrupts a good night's sleep. Those who still need the air-conditioning to cool the room during the night might want to keep a pair of earplugs handy.

There are some reports of the Wi-Fi signal in the rooms not being very strong, so those guests who want to work during their stay will probably want to bring a mobile Wi-Fi stick along or use a different area of the hotel.

While the rooms in the hotel are all generally clean and comfortable, some guests find that the furnishings are outdated and could do with a spruce-up. Others also say that the lobby and breakfast room areas are little on the rundown side of things, too.
