9/2026 4 star: we returned to the hotel and had a much better stay this time. I’m guessing they had time to get their operations in order and everything was much smoother. The parking went up to $45 valet which is still insane but we like the smallness of the hotel, its location and the staff were very nice.

Reviews
The staff here is SO GOOD. Night desk attendant @ 9pm on Jul 29 was so friendly, even helping me out with utensils for an Uber Eats order that came without them. Bartender the previous night, younger man with shaggy hair, was way nicer than the average 'tender, too.
Rooms seem kinda average for a 4 star hotel but the bed is very comfortable and temperature control is EXCELLENT.
We had a wonderful stay at the Archer Hotel in Old Town Alexandria. The location is excellent—within walking distance of King Street, great restaurants, shops, and the waterfront. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the bed was very comfortable.
The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help, making us feel at home throughout our stay. The hotel has a charming atmosphere and offers a great balance of comfort and convenience.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Alexandria.
