    Loved my experience at Melrose Hotel. The staff is superb from Lizbeth at the front desk to Joe at the valet. Facilities are awesome. Rooms are spacious with very comfortable beds. Quiet hotel and free internet. Great working desk. Well-kept common areas. Location in the Georgetown area has many walking distance places. Valet parking (only option to park) is on par with any other valet place in Washington DC at $70 daily; but it is the most convenient way. It's totally worth it for the in and out privileges It's one of my favorite hotels in DC now.

    Where are the rest of the chess pieces?

    I was excited to stay in an historic boutique hotel in Georgetown, but too many things went wrong to give it more than 2 stars. I was there for a multi-day meeting in the lower lobby. Checkin was pleasant. This is an old hotel so the elevators are a bit cramped. No big deal. There is coffee service in the morning in the lobby close to the elevators. The coffee was good. My room was large and nicely appointed. A Lavazza coffee machine and a refrigerator were nice touches. Most hotels have movie channels included, but but not here. Just a small number of TV channels. The grout in the bathroom needs some serious cleaning. I forgot to take a photo. The shower was strong, but only pumped out warm water. I notified the front desk after the first morning and it seems like if you shower at 7AM you cannot get hot water. That never got fixed. After waking up the first morning I noticed it was cold in the room. I reported the cold room to the front desk and they said it would be taken care of. It wasn't. I had to report the issue the second morning and they finally brought me a space heater. We had a large group meeting in the Potomac rooms. The meeting room was freezing and it took quite some time to get the "engineers" to fix the cold air blowing. Meanwhile we all wore coats. I checked out the hotel restaurant menu, but could not afford the outrageous prices. An egg was $8 and toast $5.50. Sodas are $5. Breakfast was not included in the room rate. There is a nice alcove in the room with a desk. But I think it's furnished to write pen and paper letters like in the 1900s. The chair is too short to use a computer and the glass top will not work with an optical mouse. The workout room is good and old. I did enjoy the Peloton bikes. But the rest of the equipment was really old and had ancient iPhone connectors. They were supposed to have TV, but none of them worked. The last evening of my stay the fire alarm went off and we all took the long journey down the stairs. Seems it was a short in the laundry room. The last day of my stay the power went out in my room as I was getting ready to go to my meeting.

    I had an overnight stay at Melrose Georgetown Hotel. Overall, it was a decent stay in a nice area close to restaurants. The room was a decent size. A few things in my room were a little out dated but nothing to say the room was bad. Something interesting was how big the closet was. It really was quite spacious which may be a benefit if you want to put your luggage in a space to declutter. Probably a pro for families. Downstairs has a nice bar, and I believe a restaurant. Unfortunately, I was unable to check them both out.

    This is now my favorite hotel in DC after many Family visits and college tours here in the past. It is a historic hotel with a unique interior design that combined rich american history and modern decor throughout the hotel. In our one bedroom suite, I particularly love the writing area with "We the People" theme, and a super comfy mattress and fluffy pillows for a great night sleep. The service was attentive especially when Geo turned back and checked us in right away when he saw us walking toward the desk (he was on his way to lunch in the lobby). Thank You Geo!

    stayed there for 3 nights during my trip to DC. 4.5 stars would be most accurate. In general the experience was satisfactory. The hotel is itself a historic building (marked as a historic site actually) with classical designs. You can also experience this in guest rooms. For my stay, it undoubtedly met my standard expectations including nice front desk, spacious room, daily housekeeping service and a good fitness room (though not large). There are also some surprises. One is the design I mentioned above; another one is that instead of water, they provided fruit water in lobby (still you can get pure water in e.g. the fitness room). Moreover, its location is perfect, at least for sightseeing! It is about 5 min walk from Georgetown, 12 min walk from White House, 4 min run from Georgetown Waterfront Park, and there are several bus stops and trail stations nearby. It also has a restaurant which serves breakfast lunch dinner but due to time limit I did not have a try. Some suggested improvements: 1. The hotel had better add a room key-access system to the elevator to protect guest safety. 2. Would appreciate it if there were a self-service laundry. Still, considering all the factors it would definitely be one of my choices for staying in DC next time!

    Our stay at Melrose was AMAZING. Their exterior design was super decorative and fancy. The service was extremely amicable, as were the valet (Sam Juan, to be specific)! * Due to covid, their bar was off-limits but the location was perfectly-aligned with delicious spots to eat and drink around! We could definitely enjoy our stay and explore the ins and outs of D.C., thoroughly. Looking to come back and stay here again! * The aesthetics of inside were just ball-dropping. I attached a few pictures to show off how ~neat~ the decor was.

    My business trip to DC was extremely exhausting but once I arrived at this lovely hotel everything seemed to fall into place. The customer service was top tier. The bed provided me some of the best sleep I've ever had. Room service didn't miss a day of cleaning my room. It was perfect. The bar had everything you could think of and my bartended Simone was absolutely the best bartender I've come across!! She was so lively, funny, polite and professional and made the best old fashion!! Simone thank you for being so awesome! Hope to see you again in October!

    This property gets a strong rating for a few reasons. It is close to the White House and other tourist areas on Pennsylvania Avenue. It is old-school luxury with Bellman that will take your luggage all the way to your room. THE PROS It has a comfy lobby that is a great hang out with a fireplace, bar, restaurant and business center. The front desk usually has some sweet treats but this trip they didn't have any. They also have fruit infused water all day and in the morning coffee and tea with my favorite tea mighty leaf. The rooms are a nice size with comfy beds, refrigerator, dish network TV, robes and slippers and great shower gel and loofah. For those who like to keep active and stay in shape even while traveling their gym is equipped with one bike three treadmills weights three ellipticals and the bonus is they have two peloton bikes! A FEW MISSES There is a set of stairs to get from the check-in desk to the elevator so you have to drag your luggage up those stairs. Sometimes there may be a bellman there to assist. Elevators are very small.My bathroom area had a very very small counterspace. There were no towel racks near the sink to hang my washcloth. I was missing slippers this trip. Overall this is a good place to stay and you should enjoy your time here.

That jetted tub was supposed to earn its keep. The room: genuinely beautiful. The technology: aggressively dated. The vibe: a 90s time capsule, complete with missing doorknobs. There was effort here, but it felt like the hotel was holding its breath, afraid any real investment might trigger the next recession. What they got right: The bellhops were fantastic. Warm, personable, fun. Truly the highlight. Most staff we interacted with were polite and willing to help, which made the gaps elsewhere even more confusing. What they got wrong (beyond the dated room and tech): For a hotel that loudly advertises luxury service, the customer experience fell flat. Outside of the arrival bowl of fruit, nothing felt elevated. Night two, we ordered pizza and planned a cozy Home Alone movie night. The technology made streaming impossible. Fine, cable it is. We called the concierge and asked for two plates. Just two. The answer was a flat no. We were told to walk down to the lobby restaurant and see if they might have plates "to spare." I'm sorry, what? The next morning, room service arrived... with someone else's order. It was corrected, but for a luxury hotel, that kind of miss is surprising. Housekeeping came through, but only halfway. The coffee and minibar were never restocked. In a suite. At a luxury hotel. This is table stakes. At 9:30 PM we stopped by the lobby circle bar. It was immediately clear the bartenders did not want to be there. I get it, service work is hard. Still, opening our interaction by warning us about last call at 11 set a strange tone. By 10:00, one bartender disappeared for 45 minutes. No refills. No check-in. No bill. Breaks are important. Coverage is also important, especially when you're selling a premium experience. Beyond the bellhops, much of the staff felt irritated to be present. Front desk to concierge, the energy was less "historic luxury hotel" and more "counting down the minutes." The hotel was also clearly prioritizing weekend tea and brunch revenue, to the point that the historic lobby was clogged with extra tables and largely unusable for actual hotel guests. Bottom line: this was not a luxury experience, and I would not recommend it. I'm only posting this publicly because I reached out directly to hotel management and never received a response. At that point, a review feels necessary.

Too bad stored blankets were unavailable for sleepers wanting more warmth than their traveling companions. We had to make a second request for one. May I also suggest providing more than one bar of mini soap bars. It's such a minuscule cost item but would obviate having to repeatedly move the precious one bar from sink to shower. We found the valet staff particularly helpful especially when navigating awkward arrivals and parking needs of our personal guests. Sean was a prince. He supervised an otherwise complicated set of logistics with competence and gentlemanly grace. Another shout out to the manager ( sou?) of the breakfast dining. We watched him rigorously oversee staff and guests while occasionally stepping in when helpful. His leadership is likely responsible for the professionalism of said staff. This is in direct contrast to the staff of the Willard across the street where we took the first breakfast of our stay. We were dismayed to have to endure extremely loud staff socializing, boisterous laughter and downright flirting. This type of behavior would have been unacceptable at the JWMarriott.

Upon welcome we received free Trolley tickets for one day and some food credits, probably based on our Bonvoy Status (we travel all the time). The price for a room I guess because of the multiple conventions in the place was excessive. I think for a room, not a suite, it would have ben $750 per night during the week. I thought that was a lot so we used points, and the 1st night they had not held our King Room for us, and despite being our anniversary, we had to sleep in a double room and move the next day. Unfortunately, the double room was quiet, and the King Room had an adjoining door and we heard every little thing from the room next door. I would put this down one point, but the service, staffing and helpful Concierge made this place really nice for us.
