It is a lovely hotel and has fantastic staff. Location is perfect. As a pet friendly hotel, I wish they could set up an area where guests and their pets could dine. We will be back.

Great night in Alexandria
I had a wonderful stay in room 213 of the Heron. I just wanted to see Alexandria, so I spent just one night. The room was very generous, everything was clean, and the staff was VERY accommodating. If there is one small issue I had, it was the bed itself. The pillows were lovely, the sheets and comforter were so comfy, but the bed itself was too firm for my back. No big deal, just a small hiccup. I will definitely be back!

This is a charming hotel - it’s been lovingly renovated, the rooms are very cute and comfortable. Right in old town Alexandria it’s a quick walk to busy King street or the waterfront. The staff were all lovely. There were amenities, like the speakeasy, we didn’t have a chance to visit - definitely next time!

Hotel Heron was located close to so many restaurants and shops. We parked our car when we got there, and didn’t move it until we checked out. We could walk everywhere. The room was comfortable and inviting. We had a great stay!

Great first visit
Very cool new hotel in Alexandria. Large room, very comfy bed. Neat speakeasy bar that was fun to enjoy as part of the experience. Was a super quick visit so will need to come back to enjoy the hotel bar and other amenities.

Nice Location in Old Town
Property was extremely clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent location in Old Town Alexandria. We paid extra for a corner room, but were assigned a very small standard room. We thought the daily parking fee of $45 was atrocious, and drinks in bar overpriced. $40 for two drinks w/tip).

The lights are set to go off every 2-3 minutes if you are not moving. This is not long enough. The time on the lights needs to change to give someone long enough to get done what they are trying to do. The rest of my stay and time at the hotel was great.
