Great Stay @ Melrose
This was our second stay at the Melrose. They've made quite a few updates since last year. Great location in Foggy Bottom. Just a short walk to Georgetown. 5 minutes to the Metro. Nice rooms, even nicer staff, good price. What's not to like?

Good Saturday Night
It was a fairly modern, spacious, clean room. The tv had some good channels as well. I partied over at McFaddens which is walking distance.

Would recommend, but construction underway
Part of the hotel is being renovated and the workmen start at 7:00AM. You can hear them slaming doors and echos throughout the building. After the first night, we requested a new room further away from the chaos. The frontdesk staff were very nice, but they should have been more proactive from the start of our stay. In addition, I found the restaurant to be very expensive the the wait staff to be very disengaged. That said, I would return to The Melrose Hotel once the renovation is complete. It is nice, clean, well located and comfortable.

Great DC Hotel
The hotel location is perfect, 2 blocks from the foggy bottom metro station and 5 blocks away from Georgetown. It has a cool decor and the rooms are much larger than many other much pricier hotels!!

good expert blanket and air-condition
The blanket is not very good. It has some small holes on it. And the air-condition is pretty loud when its on.

good location
great location and very nice staff. The room was not what was in any of the pictures, and it was very hot. I tried to adjust the temperature, but it didn't work. Also, the lock was not working properly, the key did not work even after someone came to service it.

Perfect DC Value
I was able to get a great rate at the Melrose and I was very impressed by the quality of the room and the service for what I paid. I would definitely stay here again. Location is within walking distance of M Street in Georgetown.

NYE 2012/2013
We got a great rate here for NYE 2012/2013. My girlfriend and I had a very nice room with a king sized bed. The staff was very helpful in helping us get a cab to our NYE party. The hotel itself is near George Washington University. McFaddens bar is across the street for those looking for something to do. For late night food, Dominos will deliver to the hotel too. Valet parking is $40, but on a busy weekend night, it's easier than having to park and walk.

Comfortable and clean
Can't beat the price- less than $150 for New Years Eve. Staff was friendly, everything was clean. Had a nice, big room and the mattress was quite comfortable. Arrived at 2am and had no problems checking in and getting the room.
