I really wasn't expecting much when I arrived. The reviews were great but 5he price was fairly low. The hotel doesnt look like much from the highway. It's an older two story motel. However, it been gutted and completely renovated (at least in the areas i viewed). My room was clean, updated, and the bed comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I have to visit Alexandria often and it will be my new choice for a quiet stay
