Excellent location for going to museums and monuments. If you don’t mind a 10-15 minute walk very easy to get to Foggy Bottom and Georgetown restaurants which for us was a plus. Staff were warm, friendly and helpful. Lizbeth Geo was especially helpful with assisting us with traveling via metro to a concert. We stayed in a suite, room was clean. Lots of hot water! Furniture in the living room area was sparse for the suite size. Bar closed an bit early for us (10pm). Would have also appreciated a few lite bite offerings or more variety in sandwich options in the restaurant, especially after a full day of sight seeing. Overall nice restful stay, would stay at Melrose on a future trip to D.C.

This hotel is a 10 minute walk from Foggy Bottom subway station, and an excellent base to visit Washington. A delightful receptionist said we had paid in full in advance and that we therefore only needed to pay a $400 deposit for our 4 night stay, which would be refunded in due course. I enquired if I could pay this in cash to be refunded upon departure but this is not an option credit card only. Tea and coffee are freely available in the mornings just above reception from 0700. The room is huge with an incredibly large and comfortable bed. The bathroom has a bath. The room comes with a coffee maker. The door to enter the room has a 1 inch gap at the bottom, so anybody closing doors chatting in the corridor is a problem. It must also be said that some people take immense pleasure in slamming the doors. We were very surprised that in an old building how much conversation we could overhear from the room next door, but maybe the 1 inch gap in the door is the explanation. Immediately to the right if the hotel is a cafe/shop where you can obtain breakfast, wine, beers, fruit, muffins and sandwiches wonderful place. You can sit inside or out. We collected travel cards from a machine at airport which you can top up to enable you to use the subway. As an example Foggy Bottom to Dulles Airport 1 hr away is $6.

Excellent Hotel and the staff was awesome!! I would definitely recommed this hotel. It is in a great location for tourist. The restaurant food was amazing especially the breakfast. I xan' say enough about the staff. Kudos to Lizbeth and Geo!

We had a pleasant stay with my friend in this hotel. We liked the ambiance both of our room (Deluxe King Room) and of the hotel lobby. The location is very good with a bus stop just at the corner, which serves 2-3 bus lines. Also the Foggy Bottom tube station is about 5 minutes walk. We have enjoyed our stay, had no problem at all, the room was nice and spotless, check in and check out went quickly and an airport transfer was organized for us also perfectly, that we requested one day before our departure. Only disappointment was that they charged this historic building maintenance fee per night, however the hotel did not look like a historic, old house to me! Anyway, we would return here on the occasion of a next visit, hopefully sometime in the not too distant future.
