There are no sidewalks to walk on and the traffic speeds by, making walking to the the train station [15 minutes away] kind of dangerous. The room had nasty carpet that never was swept, lint on the floor that never moved. The bed was surprisingly comfortable. The staff did fix a light that did not work and they would get a cab very quickly. The hotel is in a poor area for restaurants and/or shopping. At night when we returned from D.C. on the train [Huntington station] we took a cab because we were afraid to walk after dark. There is free hot chocolate and coffee in the lobby, but nowhere to grab breakfast. There is a small laundry room on the third floor where the ice machine was located but it is a place where a person could get assaulted or robbed because no one can see in and there is no camera for the lobby staff to see what is going on. I was afraid and nervous when I did laundry there. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Washington_DC_Alexandria_Red_Roof_Inn/r627329 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Washington_DC_Alexandria_Red_Roof_Inn/r627330 Please don't make this mistake!!! Keep away from this dirty, noisy and very bad keeped inn. All, I mean ALL rooms smell terrible (mix of smoke, humidity and cheap cleaners), mattresses are at least 30 years old, same age for the AC units and chairs. The worst is the staff, very rude and "I don't care" culture. It was the first time in one Red Roof, anf for sure, the last one!!! Please, don't make the same mistake! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Washington_DC_Alexandria_Red_Roof_Inn/r627330 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Washington_DC_Alexandria_Red_Roof_Inn/r627331 Stayed here for 5 days while doing the DC tourest thing. Motel was convenient to downtown(about 15 mins). Not a fancy place but was clean the staff was helpful and lots of places to eat. If you go to DC hit USDA cafeteria at C & 14th st, great food and cheap. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Washington_DC_Alexandria_Red_Roof_Inn/r627331 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Washington_DC_Alexandria_Red_Roof_Inn/r229512 Nothing fancy, but a good, clean place to sleep. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Washington_DC_Alexandria_Red_Roof_Inn/r229512
