Stayed there recently and its not a bad area IMO

The restaurant isnt bad and there isnt really anything to do other than walk up to the river walk.

There is an Irish Pub across the street.

It is still very nice.

The mirror room is an actually a very cool bar downstairs.

There is an awesome little diner just down the street in a small grocery store. Can’t think of the name offhand but great breakfast if you want something less expensive than the hotel restaurant.

I’ve been down there several times for Grand Lodge and we’ve never had an issue with that area of Alexandria. The city has put a lot of work into their downtown and it’s much nicer than it was when I was stationed at Ft. Polk 20 years ago.

The hotel is beautiful and has a ton of history.

The bar is nice. You can drink cheaper and get some food across the street at Tasting Room of Louisiana (dark bar with character).

Diamond Grill down the street is a good restaurant (steak, seafood, pasta) on the "upscale" end for Alex.

I know people who stay there for work often, and I've heard no reports of car break-ins or other crime issues.

That part of downtown Alexandria isn't bad.

However, the war zone isn't too far away.

You might be better off staying close to the mall if you’re looking for more to do.
