One working elevator is not sufficient for a busy hotel like this. I went for breakfast on saturday morning and there was not a server working even though it was during business hours. Instead a kitchen worker/ cook came out and helped. (He was great but clearly overwhelmed) The bar should stay open past 9 on weekends. There was a flyer for in room dining in my room but when I tried to order I was told the service was not offered.

Overall, this is a lovely hotel. The restaurant serves excellent food. The room was nice and comfortable. The Lobby and bar were nice. While the accommodations were nice, it is an older facility so if you have arthiritis and/or other joint issues, be aware that the commodes are low to the ground. Also, if you are prone to keeping track of your expenses, please be sure to inquire about the amount of the deposit and the Preservation fee. We did have an issue about the way their charges showed up on our bank account. When we inquired about the charge, Kitty, could not explain it. However, when we mentioned it to Liz, she was very helpful and expeditious in keeping us informed. The charges did drop off as Liz surmised. We really like this hotel and will stay again. We hope that they have better price transparency especially on their website and with their third-party hotels as well as adequate training for their receptionists when explaining the aforementioned issue. I must add that our issue was not isolated. There were a couple of people ahead of us who experienced the exact same issue. We had a great time despite the government shutdown. Thank you to Liz Morel and Ninette, to Sofiane A. who delivered our breakfast and to Omar F. our dinner server and Simone D. our bartender! Each of you enhanced our stay! See you next time!

Beautiful, safe, clean, comfortable, and near to restaurants and the National Mall. I'd stay here again! Only cons were: --TV wasn't working when I arrived, but it was fixed within 12 hours of reporting --hot water supply seemed to struggle in the mornings --I couldn't get my room as cold as I wanted, but it was still pretty good

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.
