Morrison Clark Inn

The reception was confrontational, there was dripping water in the lobby, the room looked like a done over shipping crate, the room carpet was done in easily seen not matching rug material and the promoted wireless only worked if you camped in front of the front desk. Never again. The dining room was great, but the other stuff is too high a price to pay.

I was in DC for a professional conference at the Convention Center. The Morrison-Clark Inn was a nice change of pace from the giant chain hotels that also surround the Center. Great location - just a few easy blocks from the Center and also close to DC's smallish Chinatown and several other good eating places. The room was nice, though on the small side, and well-appointed with high-end linens. Free, fast Wi-Fi was a must for me, and worked seamlessly even at peak usage hours. Unfortunately, every evening and through each night, the room developed an overwhelmingly strong cigarette smoke odor. I mentioned it to the front desk, and the attendant said he'd "make a note of it." Wasn't interested in spending time complaining, so I let it go. Probably wouldn't stay here again, though.

It is an historic site, but it is not convenient for sightseeing in Washington, DC. None of the tour buses go anywhere near it - it is difficult to get a taxi, there are no good restaurants around it. It looks pretty from the outside.

We stayed at this lovely hotel as we celebrated our marriage and toured the city during a weekend get-away. The location was a few blocks away from the nearest Metro station(s) and fine dining, so it was convenient for sightseeing. We were greeted by an impromptu relocation to a sister property a few blocks away for the first night of our four-night reservation and the promise of cab fare for the inconvenience (since we had driven to the city, this was pointless). Only after we had asked did the clerk indicate, unapologetically, why we were being moved (he told us that a conference group had overstayed its reservation). The second night we were shown a tiny, standard room (the result of another overbooking). Our stay would have been more enjoyable had they honored the [...] reservation (the Victorian-themed room was indeed comfortable, but it was not a suite).

If you carry heavy luggages, don't choice this hotel, there is no lift from ground to lobby! Noisy and narrow room, also the breakfast is not included.

Clean and comfortable. Difficult to get to due to construction and one way streets - a mess.

Morrison Clark is a building with history. that is interesting! if you like to walk & explore the neighborhoods on your way to visiting specific sites, this is a good choice. within walking distance to Pennsylvania Ave. + you can find lots of little spots to eat or sit & relax. the parking is relatively cheap ($28 + tax) and in the hotel basement which is safe. bell hop staff is wonderful! adjust to your room which in our case was clean & met our sleeping requirements. liked air conditioning that kept us cool in DC heat & was a duct-work system which was not too noisy. room in upper floors-inner court was quiet but can imagine that street-view rooms might be noisier. would return, keeping in mind that the well-appointed photos in these ads never match your actual accomodations. also, leave time for check-in. check-in is 3pm and we finally got in at 3:35 which was a rush for our 5pm reservations that evening! hotel is not the pictured fairy tale but would return as the reality was not unpleasant!

I occasionally make short stays in Washington, D.C. for business and decided to try this historic building that's been converted to an inn. When I travel I need a comfortable bed, a clean bathroom, a working TV and a place to rest papers and a laptop computer. The room in which I stayed was missing only the desk/table. The two tiny nighstands just didn't cut it. The room was periodically rocked by the extremely noisy elevator as it roared to life to lift guests to the upper floors. I initially thought the place was haunted.

We stayed two nights for the National Equality March. [...] However, the closer toward the march, the pricier the hotel became. I wouldn't pay more than say $150 night for a room (at least for the small, queen sized room we booked.) The hotel tries to be upscale, but it just doesn't pull it off. As other folks have said, it's really not convenient to any Metro stop so be prepared to walk. However, the hotel staff was quite good and the hotel was exceptionally clean.All of that said, I wouldn't pay a lot, but I would stay here again.

Check in went smooth. We were upgraded to a suite. We were very close to the convention center metro and walked a couple of blocks, the neighborhood is great. When we arrived back at the Inn after discovering Washington for the first time, we had to get to our car which was in valet. A staff member kindly took us outback so we could retrieve a few things, he was very nice. All in all, this Inn works on the basis of "you get what you pay for". You are in the heart of DC for a smaller price than the larger hotels, it's got a classy atmosphere like the other hotels but if you are looking for something economical, I would suggest a motel near the metro instead. As far as the room was concerned, we were upgraded to a suite which worked perfect for the two of us. There was a bedroom with a queen that was off of a seating room large enough for the three person couch, the entertainment center and a desk to set your laptop. I would also suggest bringing your own food, there minifridge selections are quite pricey. I can sense some of you are waiting for the negatives. There was an instance where some of the complimentary lotion fell off the bed and got onto the carpet. I immediately attempted to wipe it up with a damp towel. The clean white towel used to wipe up with pinkish lotion was dark/black when I was done. It appears the carpet wasn't in the best of conditions, I didn't suggest it, but they need to get a carpet washer in there as soon as possible. Needless to say, I walked around with socks on for the rest of the night.
