“Excellent services”
Good.
“Would definitely stay here again”
Terrific location for the METRO, Foggy Bottom Station. The hotel was clean and very pleasant staff. Beautiful lobby. Very clean and all were large rooms!
“Clean, comfortable, great location”
I read some not so encouraging reviews about Melrose, but they all turned out to be either outdated or just not true. We had great time at the hotel both because it is located in the middle of everything and because our room was clean, quiet and spacious. The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall I felt as if I was in a 4-start hotel for the 3-star price.
“Good value in Foggy Bottom”
Room was clean and well maintained. A minor issue - the room safe did not work.
“Great choice”
Great value for your money. Very convenient location within walking distance to the White House. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Also within walking distance of Georgetown shopping. Comfortable rooms and good service. Highly recommended.
“Great place to stay in great neighborhood”
Safe and easy to walk to my meeting...park nearby and nice restaurants.
“Wonderful hotel”
We travel often to DC and find the Melrose to have a great staff and you can't beat the location. A bit shabby sheek but always very clean. They are very kind
“This is the worest hotel I ever styed in throughout my travels”
I've been decived by the image of the hotel displayed on the web which led me to make my reservation. The high price I paid dosen't correspond with the service I recived. For example, I waited for 20 minutes for the porter to carry my lauggegs into the hotel. I refered to the frount desck for help. The lady there told me to go and grap a trolly near the main enterance. The porter who actualy was talking to someone outside showed up and carried my stuff. Another irony, the room doesnt have a min bar or a ref. which made the night I spent misconfort. Therefore, I'll never ever stay in this hotel nor recommend it to a freind
“Old World Style”
Great hotel, responsive to my concerns, well located but the only negative was the charge for internet services. When in D.C., will stay again.
“Melrose Place”
The Melrose Hotel is clean and the staff was very attentive. The hotel itself is a grand dame in decline but the character makes up for the decline. It is not an impersonal chain hotel. We have stayed in tier one hotels in DC but for the price, location and the character I would return here the next time I am on personal business. We ate in the restaurant and the food was fantastic, it made your taste buds dance. I would visit the restaurant even if not staying at the hotel.
