Just finished a 2-day stay at the Sheraton Suites in Alexandria and was very pleased. Hotel is in a good location, 3 blocks from a Giant supermarket and about 7 short blocks to the Metro - Braddock Road station. The hotel entrance faces a side courtyard with a circular driveway, The lobby area is very well done, appropriately modern without looking sterile. In the room there is a sitting/living room with pull-out sofa, wet bar, micro, fridge and 32" flat screen TV. Double french doors open to the bedroom which has a king bed and another 32" flat screen. The french doors only have sheer curtains over the windows which may not provide enough privacy for adults if traveling with children. Good blackout curtains and good room climate controls. Free shuttle to/from Reagan National(5 minute ride), where you can also get the Metro. Make sure you take the right shuttle from the airport as there are 3 Sheratons in the same area. There is a small fitness center and an indoor pool with jacuzzi. The Fin & Hoof restaurant is in the lobby. Wired or wireless internet is $10/24 hours. Quiet hotel seems good for business or adult leisure travel (I didn't see any kids). Try the Royal Restaurant across the street for an excellent Sunday breakfast buffet brunch $11.25 pp includes made to order omelettes, fresh made waffles, home fries, grits, bacon, sausage,etc.
