Solid value in expensive Alexandria. 20 min walk from Huntington Station (BL metro). Good bed. Rm 131 corner room very spacious. Remodeled bathroom with nice new tile in shower. Indian Restaurant next door for quiet bite to eat and drink at the bar. Would stay here again if I can’t find a cheaper alt in DC-proper.
Decent location. Definitely not fancy. The first room had a smell. Like smoke or dampness. I was given another room. It was better. Air conditioning worked well but the room was old and sparse. As a guy it was fine but if I had been traveling with my wife she wouldn’t have been happy.
The bed was comfortable, the room was a nice size and fairly quit place to stay.

I was apprehensive when I first started my stay at The Virginia Lodge. The marquis sign is missing light bulbs that reminds one of "missing teeth." Weeds grow from cracks in the parking lot and the base of buildings. My room needed a paint job as do the buildings outside. But as my stay progressed, I was impressed with the amenities provided. There is a microwave, refrigerator, cable TV and WIFI (though I did not use its WIFI). It's a pretty good value for the $62-69 per night stay that Expedia charged. Were it not for lack of property upkeep, The Virginia Lodge would be on par with the Holiday Inn.
The hotel was conveniently located coming into the city. Everyone I met on staff were very friendly and helpful.
The restaurant experiences were excellent as well.
The hotel was dated, but not too bad. Bed was clean and good, firm mattress. Room was HUGE with good blackout curtains. Bathroom was old (rusted curtain rod), but effort had been made to update. Towels were lacking- very small (that is an area where owners/managers can improve). The area was a bit "sketchy" right on the highway with people milling about outside at all hours. As a single female traveler I felt a bit uneasy but had no issues. I would stay here again for the price. I just needed a quick rest after getting stuck on 95 in a surprise snowstorm I was not prepared for nor desired to drive in. I continued my trip the next day with no issues.
Old-fashioned motel that brought back great memories of when America was GREAT. It was quiet, clean, and saved me a lot of money. I wish there were more places like this in America. Now, everything is so corporate and bland. The owner, who checked me in, was helpful and friendly.
And by the way, the neon sign is magnificent.

Staff is always great and very welcoming. I've been an off and on guest throughout the years. The lodge accomodates the privacy of all guests and have provided me a safe good night's sleep. They are located minutes from Huntington Metro and are one bus away from the station. Thank you for all your help, kindness and hospitality. I appreciate it,

Was grateful to get a room at 10pm, after a previous reservation fell thru, and I appreciated the price was reasonable. Check-in was pleasant.
However, room was dingy and felt unsafe. The first time I have put a chair under the doorknob in decades.
