The Lorien is a couple of blocks from the metro and Monaco is a few blocks further down the street but they have a trolley that runs back and forth.

Kimpton hotels can be pricey but I find they offer a lot of specials, especially if you sign up for their email alerts.

I believe the Hotel Morrison in Alexandria is also a bit like a bed and breakfast.

Good luck and enjoy!
I have stayed at the Lorien in Alexandria recently. Upscale boutique hhotel. They have a wine reception in the evenings. The location as noted is great. It is an easy walk down King Street to the wharf.
