Bragg Towers Extended Stay Hotel - Alexandria

The check in procedure was very quick and simple. The staff were helpful and friendly throughout my stay. The building is a bit old, but everything still functions correctly. Keep in mind that this place is directly in front of interstate 395. The room itself was a decent room overall with a few areas showing signs of wear and tear. The rate of the […] hotel was a bit pricey, but that is expected throughout the northern Virginia area. The wifi signal in the room I was staying in was very weak, but in the common areas it was fine. The bath/shower was a bit weird since, when I turned the shower head on; both the shower head and the tub faucet would run simultaneously. Overall, this is a place to just sleep overnight; not to hangout. Read more

Although it may be difficult to find if you don't know the area, we find it to be our extended stay hotel of choice in Virginia. The staff has always been pleasant. The building and rooms are old style but clean and have all we need away from home. We usually get the room with the bed, sofa and kitchenette with dining table/chairs. It is very spaci […] ous.

NO ONE SHOULD EVER STAY AT THIS PROPERTY! THIS IS NOT A HOTEL! THIS IS A CONVERTED APARTMENT COMPLEX WITH FAMILIES LIVING IN IT! THIS HOTEL SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM EXPEDIA'S INVENTORY AT ONCE!!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel.com could have recommended a better quality and more convenient hotel than this place, in all fairness maybe non are available. An old place, not well maintained, tenants mostly construction workers plus questionable occupants (witnessed police dragging a drunk out of hotel lobby), employees nice but not friendly nor helpful. Would be bottom of […] list for hotel suggestion. Read more

Overall it was great. Although the chair and the sofa in the room has a ton of stains. Please have them clean.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is convenient to the restaurants, shopping areas, and to major highways. The staff were nice and friendly too. The only thing I didn't like is how hidden the place is. Kinda creepy! However, everything else is a good experience. Thanks!

Good location. Large room with full kitchen, although needed to add eating utensils. Had broken coffee pot and clock and when advised of this, there was no immediate fix. Remained broken for the next day of my stay. Convenient to food, metro and stores. Good value for money considering neighboring ones charge 2x the fee. Does not include free breakfast […] or coffee, hairdryer or pool. Designed for long term stay customers. Read more

old and needed work. Reminded me of my college dorm days. worth the price compared to the surrounding hotels

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

it is too pricy for such hotel. it is not even a 2 star hotel, it's a lowest 1 star motel. the pillows stunk, the towels were not even close to ever being white. the only thing i did like, is the size of a refrigirator and a dining table in the room. the location is good. close to stores food or what ever. and cloe to pentagon, but it depends on which […] side you'll get the room. I would never recomend it to anybody and will never return there. Read more

After a long day of driving and walking in D.C., I was too tired to care too much about the room - I just wanted a place to crash. Overall, the room was nice, but I was not impressed with the kitchenette. None of the burners were parallel to the ground, and the faucet jerked violently up and down every time we turned it up. There was no hair dryer in […] the morning, either. However, there was ice already made in the freezer - a small comfort, but a welcome one - the room was spacious and clean, and it wasn't too far from the Van Dorn metro station. I wouldn't recommend it for an extended stay if you're going to eat a lot of meals in the room, but if you need a cheap, convenient place to crash for a night, the Bragg Towers are as good a place as any.

The carpets throughout were filthy, and in our room were stained and sticky. The drapes had holes, the bedspread was stained and the walls were dirty. There was no carafe in the coffee maker, the remote was held together with scotch tape, the shampoo bottles had been refilled, the toilet ran all the time, the wifi did not work and there was a ramp made […] out of 2x4's at the door to get luggage in and out. Even though it is an "extended stay" you cannot purchase laundry soap there. The windows are sealed shut and the air conditioner only worked after a swift kick, and when the side popped off the interior was filthy. Read more

It is more of an extended stay hotel. The power outlets in the room would not work, the room was VERY tight.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed there New Year's Eve after a local party. Convenient location, though not the best neighborhood. Clean rooms, though condition of hotel is in need of sprucing up and repair. But all of these concerns are trumped by very affordable prices. Fine place to stay if you need a cheap room in a convenient location.

Totally disgusting facility. Filthy, noisy, very, very smelly. The facility itself greets the "guest" (internee?) with foreboding 24X7 security glass and buzzer-controlled access. The parking lot is poorly lit, but well-populated with very scruffy looking "residents" that I suspect are "Section 8" revenue streams for the facility. In a word; "DON' […] T". Read more

My wife and I stayed at Bragg Towers in Alexandria, VA, while visiting Washington, DC. It was listed as an extended stay hotel, but I don't recommend it. The hotel has no ice machine because they have dorm fridges. It was not enough ice for me and would not keep ice cream frozen. There are washers and dryers in the basement if you can stand the smell […] down there. I couldn't. The front desk people were very nice and informative. There are vehicles honking horns and people shouting in the parking lot after midnight. There is free coffee, sugar and creamer in the lobby. Bring your own toilet paper. Rough towels. Small sized "full" bed with no standing room on one side. Good room heat/ac, good cable tv, very little room to hang clothes. Not going back there. Read more

Hotel shows it's age and is in need of renovations. The rooms were clean but reaked of bleach the entire time we were there. Needless to say, we also did not dare to venture outside after dark even though the parking lot was well lit. After alerting front desk about 1 tub holding water above our calves, they did take a look at it whereby it did drain, […] but still held water above the ankles. Read more

Do not consider the price first.

Genuine Expedia guest review

NEVER AGAIN! You feel dirty just being in the room. The Wifi is a joke! Got a nice holy sheet! Not worth more than $45 a nite, I paid way too much for this dump!

Genuine Expedia guest review

When we arrived the placed looked liked a run down apartment complex instead of hotel. There were even people putting together a grill in the lobby! The staff was pleasant and helpful. The hotel was not as obvious to find since the road to it weaves through what appears to be a parking lot of a strip mall. It was reasonably close to Washington, train […] station, and down town Alexandria. I would not recommend this place to single women to stay at. I would not have felt comfortable staying by myself. We only used this hotel to crash at night after day long touring Washington. If you are looking for fancy this is not it! Read more

The room was always kept in good condition. The staff was friendly enough. This is not somewhere to stay if you are looking for a place to spend most of your day and have fun doing it. No pool/jacuzzi area or fitness room. Walking distance to a Metro bus stop and easy driving distance to the Van Dorn St. Metro train station (with parking for $4.50 a […] day). Rooms are not completely soundproof as advertised on the hotels website, but they are quiet enough. In other words, great place to have as a base to return to and sleep at night, but not a destination for relaxation. Read more

Staff were nice. Did not leave coffee in room although there was a coffee maker there.

Very unsafe and scary parking lot. Don't park there if you have a new or new looking vehicle. Hotel administartion does not take any responsibility at all as usual. Don't book this hotel online unless you see the premises.

Very relaxed atmosphere. Not a place for snobs or someone who wants everything to look new. A great place for real people looking for a comfortable, clean place at the end of busy days.

We disliked the hotel so much, that we did not stay the second night. It was horrible. The neighborhood did not seem safe. Hotel was not worth it. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL

Genuine Expedia guest review

There was a lot of smoking on non-smoking floors and areas; the rooms were not very clean; there was no remote in the room and the front desk workers did not respond when we called them. They promised to fix the problems with our room but failed to do so. My husband and I were very unhappy.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel was awful. The hotel has a funny smell to it throughout. The common areas are not clean. The room is awful and had pieces of the furniture broken off, and an overall crummy atmosphere. The room was noisy - you could hear the traffic outside and I was woken up by people screaming and fighting in a nearby room on Saturday night around 3am. […] The location is a little scary - behind a dark parking lot at the end of a back street. It's near some other hotels, but tucked away so you feel isolated like you could easily be mugged or something. Do yourself a favor and DON'T stay here, especially if you are a woman travelling by yourself. On the plus side, the bathroom seemed clean, which was good, and the room was fairly clean, but very dingy and unattractive and not especially comfortable. Read more

A so-so hotel. Outside doesn't look like much. Room was not very big, but was manageable. No breakfast available, but there is a restaurant around the corner.

everyone there was very friendly, the room was clean and the bed comfy. not luxury but it was fine and I would stay there again. The kitchenette was a big plus. The internet was free but intermitten.

This place needs some help... It was as clean as it could be.. Just needs a huge face lift.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is advertised as a nice little affordable suite style, but is hardly that. This being a two star hotel I was not expecting any luxury, but standards are low here. To illustrate these low standards; describing the quality and cleanliness as 'sub-par' would be a compliment. The hotel is tucked away behind a small shopping center, which you […] have to drive into to get to Bragg St. It was slightly confusing and I encountered some rudeness when I had to call for directions (twice). Housekeeping leaves dirty towels and trash in the hallways for hours and since the rooms have kitchenettes, the halls are filled with various food odors (mine was fish). The room itself was kept a little better than the common areas, but still dirty. WiFi is available and there were two windows of time; early in the morning and late at night where the internet was running smoothly. Otherwise, it kept disconnecting due to low signal strength. I am a photographer so I only used this room as a place to crash to save money, but I would have been willing to pay extra for better conditions and closer metro access. The nearest metro station is about a 15 minute drive. I have stayed in other two star hotels that were far better. If you want a two star hotel, I would suggest a chain. This one is more one star status in my opinion. My advice: stay near Old Town/King's Street. It's a much better representation of Alexandria and is close to the metro. Read more

Never again. Bugs, grimmy, old, worn, doesn't even begin to say how bad this place was. Right down to the drug dealers and hookers in the parking lot. NEVER AGAIN.

Genuine Expedia guest review

If you want a cheap place in Alexandria to sleep, it seems to work. I was only there from 10pm to 8am, so I didn't have much exposure. Bathroom was spotless and good, but carpet was stained and bed not very comfortable. Close to freeway, with some noise. But it felt safe enough.

Dirty room,filthy bathroom and internet either. cheap hotel not worth the money at all.

this hotel was horrible. we were afraid to sleep under the covers. the building was old, the sheets dingy and reeking of smoke. nothing looked clean. people smoke in the hallways and non smoking rooms were right next to smoking rooms. the staff was not friendly at all and they even refused to print me a receipt at check out. the staff was not approachable […] to ask for anything as they gave an attitude when asked anything. we would not recommend this place if avoidable. sleep in your car before you waste your money on this dump.

I was impressed with the cleanliness and location of this hotel. The front desk person was accomodating and the lobby area was clean. the hallways and room was clean and I was impressed with the kitchenette. My overall experience was excellent and compared to the major hotel chains like Days Inn and Holiday Inn, this hotel was a step above.
