This historic and well-preserved hotel is nesled in the heart of downtown Alexandria near the waterfront. The Hotel Bentley offers a chance to glance in the past alongside the comforts of modern life. Come expecting to stay in a historic hotel and you will be pleased. They have sections in the hotel that are almost like mini-museums. It's beautiful for events or photo shoots, but you must make arrangements prior, even for a simple photo shoot in the lobby. If desired, there is a large stretch limousine available for rent with silvery-curled kind driver whose gentlemanly Lousiana speech is mingled with a hint of a sweet southern twang from his distant past. With historic preservation, there are always challenges to meeting the expectations of modern life. The rooms do not have all of the trappings of more modern hotel rooms like microwaves, but they have what is important: comfortable beds and pillows for a good night's sleep, clean bathrooms and little extra touches of class. The building has been through renovations, but it is still old and obvious. That is why if you come expecting historic, you won't be disappointed. It is clear where on occasion, holes have been cut into walls or filled for new pipes or regulations, where ADA accommodations have been retro-fitted, etc. to the best that they are able. The lobby is lovely with a grand marble staircase, a dome, frescos and crystal chandeliers. While the rooms are dark and old-fashioned they are comfortable . It is in the heart of historic downtown Alexandria surrounded by quaint walkable shops and where, prior to services, church bells ring out with a call to worshippers. Overall, this hotel was a nice stay.

Pretty disappointed in our stay. My husband and I chose to stay at the Hotel Bentley in a room block for a convention at the convention center across the street. When we checked in, I immediately felt uncomfortable with the condition. Though they were recovering from the roof fire, the condition and cleanliness of the hallway walls and carpet immediately gave me a uneasy vibe. Once we reached the room, I noticed a panel that was slightly detached from the wall. My husband went to inspect it and turns out it was the AC cover and it was FULL of dust. Coming from someone who has a diagnosed allergy to dust, I was concerned (also noticed the sprinkler head had clumps of dust as well). After night one, I had a sore throat. Night two, sore throat, itchy eyes, all of the things. Went to speak with management to ask for maintenance to come clean the vent so that I would not wake up even worse after night 3, and no one came. At check-out on Sunday, I asked for a manager to call me because at this point I'm having a full blown allergy attack. It's now Wednesday, no call, and still recovering from allergies. Antique = well preserved, this ain't it. Stay at the Holiday Inn, trust me.
