The Air Conditioning in the room is not working. The technician came in and said “Air Conditioning will not work because the temperature outside is dropping”. I don’t know how they both are linked. They opened up the windows and gave me a fan, which is just terrible. I don’t know which hotel do this, but it’s literally the worst way you can treat your guest with.

First time staying at a “historical hotel of America” and I have to say… I was rooting for more. Dissapointed at the lack of actual preservation of the space. Too much of a modern aesthetic and very little antique environment. The most antique thing in the hotel was the carpet!! And not in a good way- it was way too old and stained. I also came across a cockroach on the bathroom floor. A pretty big one at that. The view wasn’t much either and the windows were filthy. The bed seemed clean. The room over all had an ok feel to it, with basic cleaning at the surface but if you really paid attention there needed to be some deep cleaning done. Over all pretty bummed that my first time at a historical hotel wasn’t a great experience. The workers were very nice and courteous. They made my stay more comfortable. Thank you staff!

The Melrose is my favorite place to stay in DC. It is located in close proximity to everything you want to see and do. The hotel is beautifully appointed, the bed and pillows are very comfortable, and the staff is exceptional. I don't bother staying anywhere else.

Great hotel with good proximity to GW and Georgetown. Bar typically closes early, around 10, and breakfast menu seems pretty high. No ice machines on the floor or laundry machines. Stayed here multiple times and would highly recommend but it is missing a few conveniences.

Although the hotel lobby was nice, it needed some up keep as well as rooms, garbages were over flowing in lobby, 1st room they offered us had a terrible cesspool smell. Hotel staff quickly moved our room which was better. But overall cleanliness of hotel was lacking and worn. They have a restaurant on site, but never saw anyone dining in it. Parking is only valet from a different company at the hotel and was very expensive. They do not tell you this when you arrive. Overall stay was pleasant.

I've stayed here many times and have enjoyed the hotel's vibe, location, and value. However, my room was subpar during my most recent stsy -- there was a musty aroma, a constant noise that couldn't be identified, and a view of trash receptacles. I asked someone at the desk if they put customers who booked lower rates through third parties in rooms that have not been updated and was told no and that room selections are based on availability. Not sure what that means, but all rioms should be updated.

Well appointed and clean room. Great bed with excellent linens. Checked in late evening, but desk clerk was warm and welcoming. Hotel was near full capacity and only available rooms were first floor, but offered to move me on 2nd day if desired… very thoughtful. Guests nearby were allowing their door to slam with every use - ergggh. Hotel room doors have auto lock feature that requires one to turn the interior door handle to close it quietly. Hotel has beautiful lobby with multiple comfortable seating areas throughout, some tucked away from main passage. Never had an issue finding street parking but you have to read the parking signs carefully and use the pay app.
