Hotels near Capital Clubhouse, Waldorf

Kind check in clerk but room was a bit iffy. S

My fiancé and I stayed here on July 14 2022 for one night. The hotel was busy because I found only two parking spaces. We ended up booking and checking in after midnight. Leonard was very nice and helped us check in. Our room was a standard Hilton room. The bathroom had a walk in tile shower but the shower floor looked dirty. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Breakfast was available but we didn't participate. I paid in total $248.65 for one night. I really didn't think it was worth that much. I would stay here again but not for that price.

We had an overall nice stay. The bed was comfortable, even though there was a middle school field trip on the 2nd floor, our floor was relatively quiet and we didn't have any problems with noise keeping us away. Since many of the hotel guests were on buses, we didn't have to go around back ever to find parking. I had read there were sometimes problems at the back of the parking lot and I can understand why with the woods there. It was convenient to walk to Cracker Barrel for dinner one night. The negatives: The pillows were extremely uncomfortable for both of us. Usually, I prefer the feather (or down-like) pillows and my husband prefers the feather-free type in Hampton Inns, but neither of us liked these. They seemed to be filled with air and then went flat when I laid my head on it. Breakfast was not as good as other Hampton Inn stays in the past year. The regular waffle batter was either too thick to come out or was empty for two days. The one morning, we were there an hour before breakfast ended and there was almost nothing in the bread and pastry box and other items were out as well. I stood around for a while to ask a worker about it, but eventually gave up when I didn't see anyone. Additionally, with a sign on the bathroom mirror that says Housekeeping only upon request, I was quite upset to come back and see my room had been cleaned. I know you usually hear the opposite, but if housekeeping is coming into my room, I put away my electronics, move my pajamas off of the bed and more.

My stay was short just one night but my room was clean and the person at the front desk was friendly and kind. The only thing I think you should check into is maybe doing something different about those powder scrambled eggs that you serve for breakfast. May use a better substitute for them . Other than that my stay was great.

I am glad I didn’t pay full price ($350/night) for this. Great location and everything looks nice from the outside and the lobby. The room is decent from the looks but once you stay in there, you will realized nothing is working properly. The AC/Heater was not working, the control for the AC/Heater doesn’t work so the AC was blasting cold air all night on NYE!!! So we were both freezing and it was 2am! The TV only have 5 channels and 2 are the same as the other 2, so in reality only 3 channels. The TV quality is also very outdated. Feel like we were watching TV from the 80s/90s when it was the actual 2024 NYE concerts. And on the 5th channel, it is just showing how DirectTV subscription is expired, like what? The Wifi in the room is not free unless you are a Bonvoy member. There was less than a quarter roll of toilet paper on the Tp dispenser and they also didn’t provide a second roll. The body wash pump was empty and the shampoo ran out. The bottom side of the toilet seat looks very filthy as if they haven’t clean that part of the toilet seat in a while. The floor of the bathroom was also very dirty. We usually check if we can ask for a late check-out the night before, but we called the front desk with no answers. When they finally answered, they said we have to call back at 7am to let us know. Ehh Hello? The whole point of getting a late check out is so we can sleep in? So I had to set an alarm to call back at 7am to get a 1pm check out. It was a bit annoying. This was a big disappointment for me because this was supposed to be a nice hotel from Marriott as the Autograph Collection. Especially for $350 a night in the middle of Old Town Alexandria, I had expected better quality. Not to mention the chaos during check-in. Seems like there were only 4 workers there for HUNDReDs of customer. People were angry about being stuck in the parking garage and no one can help them and they gave a lady a room that currently already have someone checked-in. Apparently the lady opened the door when the guy was showering in the room. What a chaos!

We stayed 3 nights whilst attending a wedding celebration in Alexandria. The hotel provided an excellent base for exploring the area, with the location a good compromise between the old town and the metro link. Check-in was fast and efficient, with Pam providing a warm welcome and allowing entry to the rooms 3 hours before check-in. The three suites in our group were very well appointed, clean and the AC worked well. We really appreciated the complimentary breakfast offering and the on-site shop for basics. We would definitely return.

I made my reservations on line through the Choice Website and check-in was quick and easy. Once in my room I found it to be clean and the bed comfortable and well mad. The bathroom in my room was one of the smallest that I have encountered with this chain. The room overall as I sad was clean but it was beginning to show it's age. It front cover of my HVAC Unit was loose and quiet loud but after a little work I was able to secure it enough to stop the noise. The breakfast area features the usual waffles, eggs, a meat, with fruit, yogurt, cereals, juice and coffee. The breakfast area can get very crowded but for the most part the attendant keep it clean and well stocked. This hotel features a Free shuttle to the Franconia-Springfield Metro Station which is a little over a mile away. With free parking at the hotel this shuttle is a very nice feature that we took advantage of several times during our stay. When we arrived back at the Metro Station, we simply called the hotel for pickup and in about 10 minute our shuttle arrived. Over all I was very satisfied with my stay and will stay here again when I am in the D.C./NOVA area.

Overall experience was Great. The reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 was due to the thermostat and the firmness of the mattress (personal opinion). I came up during a terrible ice/snow storm.. and the thermostat seemed to keep fluctuating temperatures up and down. Took me 30 minutes to keep adjusting the temperature... until I ended up giving up. The ventilation in my room wasn’t the greatest either. The mattress was too firm for my liking, however the sheets were insanely comfy! 10/10 cleanliness and the bathroom shower was out of this world 🙌🏻 The stay was very comfortable considering my frustration on the thermostat.
