On The Birchmere FAQ Page there is a list of nearby hotels https://www.birchmere.com/about-us/
Lots of options in Crystal City
I live in the area, I never stayed at any local hotels..but they're all pretty good... Crystal City is 10mins away.. pricey but nice
We stayed at the Hyatt Centric Old Town Alexandria last week and were quite pleased. Efficient, friendly team members and very clean, comfortable room. We were an easy 10 minute drive from The Birchmere. Oh, and the room rate was $99 plus taxes through AAA travel (weeknight).
