This was my first time staying at the Hotel Monaco...

This was my first time staying at the Hotel Monaco and I was able to do so for four nights. Kimpton had a great deal for their Alexandria hotels so we were able to get a great rate on a king suite with... Wait for it... A hot tub! Needless to say, the day wasn't over until we took a dip before bed. The room was extremely comfortable, roomy, the tub rocked (they even have some scented salts ready for you to add to the water), and the staff was friendly the entire time we were there.

I didn't get to try the full sized pool but its on my list for next time. The hotel has both valet parking and a garage that you can self-park in. The hotel restaurant, Jackson 20, is fantastic and a good stop for cocktails. My friends and I have been going there for years and it never disappoints.
