“Great escape room! The production value was amazing! All the props were really high quality and many of them were authentic antiques. Good story line as well. Would definitely recommend!”
“Our team, having collaborated with The Royal, can confidently affirm that the venue is impeccably clean, well-organized, and fully equipped to host a variety of events. Working with The Royal team is always a delightful experience. We strongly encourage both new and returning clients to consider The Royal for their event bookings, as their preferred vendor list is exceptional. They won’t disappoint you!”
“Enjoyed watching the Virginia Ballet's The Nutcracker last night. We took the metro Silver Line to the McLean stop. Took escalator or elevator to the ground floor and walk outside down the path towards Wegman's, then take a right. Capital One Hall was spacious, modern and clean. All staff we encountered were pleasant and professional. Seating was comfortable. We look forward to attending more shows at Capital One Hall.”
“Have been coming to this Venture X for 3 years. Absolutely awesome place to work. Spent many years at WeWork before that… VX is the way to go. Great crew and, importantly, very large phone booths! Highly recommend”
“The team at Meadowlark, including their catering company, Great Blue Heron, did a FANTASTIC job for my wedding. We had ours in July and had about 120 people. The food was delicious, the staff was professional and responsive, and the venue was stunning! All of it is indoors, so very comfortable during the summer months and then there are many spots to hang out outside to get away from the loud music or to have a cocktail hour.
Would definately recommend this venue!”
“My 6YO daughter has been attending Tea with Mrs B for several years on days off from school and snow days and she always has the best time! I can barely get her to leave at the end of the day because she is having so much fun! Mrs B and her team do an amazing job making the kids feel adored! They know my daughter’s name when she walks in and always make her feel welcomed. They do so many fun crafts, play dress up, eat fun treats, and do some light-learning on manners that is very age appropriate and made fun! Really appreciate having this wonderful place for days school is closed, total life saver!”
“Moonbounce Man has appeared at our school events bringing joy to our scholars! Stephanie is professional, knowledgable, and resourceful setting up, instructing volunteers, and supervising overall. Her positive energy is very much appreciated and her efficiency commendable. I highly recommend Moonbounce Man for all special occasions. Jennifer Wilson-Pitzen”
“Wonderfully quiet hotel in the Mosaic shopping area, close to stores and restaurants. The rooms are well kitted out, and our suite had a small kitchen that was nicely equipped. The included breakfast was quite good, with fresh fruit, home made granola and low fat items. Illy coffee (one of my favorite smoothe coffies) and choice of creamer: milk, cream, almond milk, oat milk. Industrial sheek decor adds to the contemporary ambiance.”
“The Garden Alexandria was the absolute perfect venue for our cocktail hour and reception. We celebrated our wedding here in early November 2025 with 68 guests, and we could not have imagined a better place to gather and celebrate.
The aesthetic of this venue made it an easy yes for us. We were going for a very specific vibe. Rustic, winter, outdoorsy, and country. The Garden provided the perfect canvas for that vision, which allowed us to keep décor minimal while still creating a space that felt warm, intentional, and beautiful. Every detail we added felt like it belonged.
The layout of the venue is flawless, especially for a wedding our size. The space allowed the evening to flow naturally and feel relaxed without ever feeling crowded. Early guests were able to enjoy the outdoor area and play games while waiting for cocktail hour, which set a fun and welcoming tone. When the reception began, the transition was seamless and exactly what we hoped for.
The flexibility of this venue deserves special recognition. We were planning from out of town, with an eleven-hour drive, and logistics around décor and setup could have been stressful. Instead, the experience was smooth and reassuring. A huge shout-out to James, the event manager, who was incredible to work with. His flexibility, professionalism, and calm presence made a huge difference. He worked seamlessly with our day-of coordinator, and together they created a night where literally nothing went wrong. It was truly perfect.
Every detail, every space, and every moment at The Garden Alexandria exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a romantic, rustic venue with incredible flow and flexibility, stop your search and book The Garden Alexandria. We cannot recommend it highly enough.”
“Just attended a large reception here after a funeral. Delicious food, ample beverages, nice space. Laura was super attentive and helpful. Definitely keeping this place in mind from now on compared to other (way overpriced) spots in N Virginia!”
“Rooms and bed extremely comfortable. Pet friendly but no pet odors.
During a recent stay during a snow storm staff was fantastic about clearing the snow. Especially helpful digging out cars.”
“Very nice atmosphere. Food was tasty, well presented, and satisfactory portion sizes. Better signage needed to direct patrons to the floor that the Club is on, especially when there is no guard at the lobby desk.”
“The Alchemist room was very unique and interesting, we did got stuck a few times but Amanda was super helpful without revealing the answers to the puzzles. Lots of fun, highly recommended!”
“Beautiful space built in 1900. The bottom floor has a large open room that can be rented out with bathrooms. The top floor has an art gallery. Nice stop while in Fairfax.”
“The American Legion Post 139 went above and beyond in hosting our US Coast Guard Cyber Unit’s holiday gathering! The entire venue was welcoming, and the staff were absolute incredible — kind, attentive, and genuinely supportive. We, as active military members, along with our military spouses and family members, deeply appreciated the care and thoughtfulness that went into making this event special.
It was a wonderful experience to celebrate in a space that fosters such a strong sense of military community. This American Legion chapter truly cares about its service members, veterans, and their families, and it showed in every single detail.
Thank you for making our holiday gathering so memorable! It is deeply appreciated on behalf of all my unit.
I am very proud to be a member of this American Legion post as well! I encourage all those military personnel and vets interested to do so! Such a great community to be a part of. ❤️”
“Awesome time celebrating our beloved Stephanie’s Birthdayyyyy at AR Workshop! The AR Ladies we’re super helpful and spirited with us…made for a funky good time!”
“Spacious setting (29th & 30th floors). Great view of D.C. I could even see Heyden Observatory on the grounds of Georgetown. Food was delicious and staff were friendly and helpful. Great place to hold a corporate event.”

“Lovely stay at The Melrose Hotel. The room was well decorated, clean, and comfortable. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Mohammed was especially helpful - storing our bags in the back room after check out while we went to breakfast. Our car was parked out front upon our return. Mohammed then loaded our bags in the car . Thank you for the great service!”
“Update After Checkout:
Though I stand by my various areas for improvement, I’m updating my review from 2-stars to 4 for a few reasons:
1) our stay improved after that first day, including having the internet working flawlessly the last two days of our stay.
2) our room, and the hotel overall, were actually very nice (though the lack of attention to the various details I highlight below still were surprising for a property of this quality).
3) the front desk manager Adam went out of his way to make up for the various issues we were having and ensured our stay improved after those first 36 hours. His responsiveness to our concerns made a big difference.
Original review: This supposed 4-star property isn’t yet ready for prime time. I’m staying here now and we’ve had a terrible experience, despite staying in one of the nicest rooms available (a one bedroom suite on the top floor).
Where to begin…perhaps with the internet that has maybe worked 2 hours out of our 36 here so far. Or how about the bait-and-switch “Autumn special” that included breakfast when we booked, but failed to mention that the restaurant isn’t yet open for breakfast so what’s included is coffee and a croissant at the coffee shop off the lobby. Add that to the terrible tv interface in the rooms that claims to allow casting from your favorite streaming service but doesn’t work, no towels or cups for water in the gym, no place to get ice or fill water bottles on the floor, only one towel hook in our enormous bathroom, meaning one of us has to leave our wet towel draped over a chair in the room, etc., and you get a hotel that looks nice, but fails at so many important details that makes a good hotel stay. Oh, and the hotel is far away from the sites and action in Alexandria. Won’t be staying here again and will be asking for a refund for our special “breakfast” package so we can use that money on a real breakfast elsewhere.”
“NVHC has been one of the most welcoming and inclusive places in the region. I am welcomed to this house of God literary with open arms every Friday for Musilim prayer. Thank you NVHC for everything you have done for my community. God Bless.”

“Not far from Saint Ann’s Catholic Church on Wisconsin Avenue, I had my wedding reception here many years ago! We had both fireplaces going in the beautiful ballroom that accommodated a long rectangular table for the wedding party and eight round tables for guests. There was plenty of room for the buffet table, a band, and dancing on the parquet floor. You have to bring in your own caterer – we hired Ridgewells who did an AMAZING job and really impressed the new in-laws! ;) Plenty of parking on the street. It’s a great place to start some of the best memories of your life!”

“I love StayBridge but it's actually crazy how often this happens. Bad day to be a laborer remodeling a room with an ear piercing siren going off. They should get a bonus tbh even in the Marines they wouldn't make me do a shift of filling sandbags with a truck horn blasting. It's been like an hour today.
Edit #1 Sometimes you'll find a tv in your bedroom that doesn't turn on, but you don't want to mess with the hotels' wires so you skip on Adult Swim and get to sleep earlier. They're looking out for our sleep, which is exactly what a hotel is for.
Edit #2 Another fire alarm wake up call”

“My choice for my Staycation. Perfect location in regards to several tourist attractions in the Mount Vernon Virginia area. My room was comfortable and very clean. This hotel has been remodeled and it shows. It's beautiful. Hotel was peaceful and quiet. I slept soundly. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The Peloton bike was a great add on. Breakfast was hot and delicious with several choices. Great stay.”
“Exceptional church service and everyone is super friendly. Such a calm and welcoming atmosphere. 8a.m. service was super great! Pastor Jeff was so nice and welcoming.”

“I love ParCiti! The service is consistently phenomenal every time I visit. I've been over 20+ times this year since I live close. The staff is friendly, and the tech is better than other places I've been too. I would definitely recommend them.”
“Thanks to our server Michael for being extra attentive and helpful not only with the food but also this geriatric millennial who had trouble with the computers and inputting bowlers. He was A+”
