Club Wyndham Old Town Alexandria

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.

Immaculately clean, comfortable and roomy! It was a perfect location with easy in and out parking garage next to hotel. The room exceeded our expectations actually being larger than our son’s apartment!

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.

We stayed on the first floor and was slightly nervous about that but ultimately it was just fine. The rooms are large and the family room and furniture was comfortable. There is a renovation starting soon and the cabinetry , carpeting and other items will be updated which will be a welcomed change. It's time. The air filter in the HVAC unit was changed recently when checked and water pressure is excellent. An old school coffee maker was in the kitchen, maybe a newer one is needed but appreciate that it's available. Toaster works well. Was pleased with towels and quality of soaps. Elevator was down which was a slight nuisance. Garage was tight. Just need a reno and all will be perfect. Thanks Club Wyndham!!

The property is conveniently located near the metro and the free trolly that runs un and down the street. It is very close to the trail though, so that might bother some people, if you're not used to loud noises. Club Wyndham does have timeshares/ownership programs, so they will try and convince you to buy into those programs.

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.
