The hotel is down at heel. One of the elevators has a broken floor. The pillows leave you with neck ache. The breakfast is disgusting and waiting staff unfriendly. The service in Library Bar excruciatingly slow but the food is palatable. Most of the staff are unfriendly. Probably only somewhere to stay for the location-it is close to Georgetown and... more

We reserved at the Melrose because it was close to a meeting I had to attend and my boss had stayed there several years ago without problems. Website indicated it had a full service restaurant and bar which were important to us. Website Indicated rooms had been refurbished, pillow top mattresses, etc. Rate was reasonable and included a breakfast buffet.... more

This hotel is seriously like a hostel. The staff is not friendly nor helpful at all. The room had a very funky odor that you immediately smelled once you opened the door. The furniture was old and the room was very dated and worn. The towels were old and the shower curtain had mold on it. The desk chair was... more

Just got back from the Melrose, very good hotel, clean and the rooms are big. Elevators are very very fast which is a good thing especially at a hotel. The hotel is located very close to Georgetown, but not downtown D.C. so you will need to take a taxi or the metro. Overall this hotel was good and I would... more

I wrote a review on the hotel on April 27, 2009. The management answered it with the suggestion that the next time I was in I should talk with them. Well, I stayed there about one week later on Mother's Day weekend for three nights. I arrived at the hotel at 4:10 pm. The desk receptionist needed to "check" on... more

My husband, daughter and I stayed at the Melrose near Georgetown for two nights in mid-June. I booked the room on Priceline using their 'name your own price' system. They rated the Melrose as a 4 star hotel and nothing could be further from the truth. Tripadvisor reviews were not overwhelmingly positive and with good reason, however the Priceline system... more

Just returned from staying at the Melrose June 19-23. We enjoyed our visit very much. The rate we paid ($89 per night including full buffet breakfast through Travelzoo) was a very good deal for this clean hotel, with kind, helpful staff, and excellent location for our purposes. The hotel is 2 to 3 blocks from the Foggy Bottom metro station... more

Good value for mone: we paid $ 150 for a two double bed room. Very good service. Nice, spacious and very clean rooms, with little kitchen and office. The concierge was quite helpful. internet costs $10 a day. Deffinetly will recommend. more

Upon reading the bad reviews of this hotel, we were a little leery in staying there, however, since our friend from out of town was staying in some apartments next door we decided to give it a try. We had a nice suite, very spacious, like a one bedroom apartment. There is an outdoor area with tables outside the lounge... more
