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!!

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.

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.

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 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.

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?

nice location, not 4 star
The Melrose used to be my favorite DC hotel. Unfortunately, it needs upgrading. The carpeting in our room was shabby and dirty, the shelf over the sink was falling off the wall,(nothing would stay on it because of the slope) and you couldn't get into the closet with someone at the sink; not enough lighting in the room, only one bedside table. Get the picture?

Short walk from hotel
There are several great spots for a quick breakfast in the immediate area. On 23 and Mass. there is a Bread and Chocolate - great breakfast, Next door to the hotel is a Marvelous Market, great for light breakfast or quick lunch. And on 25 (1 block from hotel) there is a Trader Joes - wine, cheese, etc.

Not bad, not super good either
The Melrose is a decent place to stay. Nice location if you are visiting someone at GW, going to the Kennedy Center and Georgetown is a decent, but do-able walk if the weather is good. Probably not a 4star but it seems a lot of hotels in DC are overrated. The service was great-nice people work there. The room was good, decent bathroom, shower was ok, tub a little worn down. Bad pillows-which might seem like a litte thing until you try and sleep. Overall-I'd recommend the Melrose if you can get a good deal on the price.

Long walk from hotel
You can walk to the Mall from the hotel, rather then wait 45 minutes for the $30.00 double decker tour bus.

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.

My review of Melrose Hotel
My card to open the door did not work properly and I needed staff to reset the card every time I went in and out--this was very unacceptable. They came up to my room each time but it should have been fixed. I needed assistance getting into my room about six times over three days. The location worked well for me but I do not think I would consider staying here again. The last time management came to open the door they were more annoyed and not at all apologetic.
