I only wish we had thought to read reviews BEFORE we decided to stay here. We made reservations specifically for connecting rooms. We also let them know our arrival would be late at night. When we arrived with 2 children and one Down's Syndrome adult around midnight we were told that the rooms were not adjoining and they didn't have... more

We stayed here two years ago and the hotel was lovely- clean with an attentive staff. While they have kept the attentive staff the hotel itself sees to have fallen on hard times. Carpeting is filthy, bathroom had hairs in the tub, room phones were not working, our bathroom vanity was being held together by metal screws, there was a... more

The location was great to George Town but the actual hotel was run down, the staff was RUDE except for the manager which tried to constantly make up for his staff's bad attitudes. There was always something missing in the room after it was made up. For example one we didn;t get towel at all, the next no soap. We... more

Our room was very cold, but they said there was nothing they could do but give us blankets, which didn't help at around 7 pm so we stayed away from the hotel as much as possible! We both left with sniffles that we didn't have upon arrival. Weird stains on the chairs and the faucet leaked. Room service/kitchen wanted to... more

I have stayed 3 times at this wonderful hotel . The location is perfect for sight seeing,and its only minutes away from Foggy Bottom underground train station which will take you out to Penn City Shopping Mall . This hotel is rather old fashioned and makes no apology ,that is its charm. The rooms are large beautifully furnished in sutle... more

Our room was terrible. First we noticed that there was a black moldy spot on the ceiling and when my husband touched it it was very soft & wet. Also nearby was peeling on the ceiling from previous water damage. The woodframe araound the bathroom door was rotted. I stepped on a stained, wet area on the carpet by the... more

We stayed for three nights. We thought the bathroom was tiny and unclean. The tub looked like they had cleaned it with the bathmat from the previous occupant. When I got home my legs and feet were covered with uncomfortable red welts from bedbugs. Having never experienced this before I was horrified. Besides that, the staff were freindly and it... more

My husband, daughter s17 and 21 and I stayed 4 nights at the Melrose. Had adjoining rooms. Hotel was very clean, rooms larger than normal. Staff very nice. The best part is the location in Foggy Bottom. It took us 5 minutes to walk to Georgetown where there are numerous restaurants and every store you can think of. The Metro... more

I just returned from a trip to Washington, DC. My husband and I went for a long weekend. We stayed at the Melrose. We flew in from Atlanta and took the train to the Foggy Bottom Train Station. From the train station it was about a 8 minute walk to the hotel. Although we arrived early, around 11:00, our room... more
