Date of Stay: July, 2009

The location was great. Very close to the metro station. My husband and I were there on vacation. Prices for a drink at the bar in the hotel were overpriced, I would recommend purchasing beer at the liquor store next door. The price for parking is outrageous. When we got our car back there was a big long scratch across the side of the car. You think after paying them all that money for your car just to sit there, they would take care of it for you.

Staff are lovely and agreat location. Parking cost is absurd! Old, worn, tired hotel.

	Date of Stay: July, 2009
Very good location to the Metro for sight seeing. Little stores nearby for food, etc. Did not receive 20% discount offered after room was booked. Hotel said to ask Orbitz. Orbitz said it was up tto the hotel. I could have saved 200$. I will not use Orbitz again, I will book it on my own. Food in restaurant too expensive.

Ease of access to the subway system. Condition of room was poor as was service of staff.

	Date of Stay: July, 2009
When I arrived, the hotel didn't have my reservation and made one for me then at a higher price (which I didn't know until the next morning). The hotel was OK but not what I expected for the price. The bed, the pillows and the linens were not very high quality; the room furnishing antiquated; the bath not modernized. I wouldn't book there again in spite of the good location.

Friendly and accommodating staff, over sized room. Pricey valet parking, long wait to retrieve car. After feeling very leery about our purchase due to other reviews, I was pleased with our stay at the Melrose Hotel. Glad I got the heads up on the $38 parking fee overpriced, but it was easy to deal with. Rooms were clean and generously sized. Hotel was very accommodating for young children (free crib!). Staff was very helpful and friendly at every interaction. Probably not a 4 star hotel, but it was nice and worked well for us.

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?

	Date of Stay: June, 2009
Large room, good location. The walls of my room were very badly scuffed and needed painting.

	Date of Stay: December, 2008
The room was very large for a city hotel. Large king size bed was very comfortable. Room was very clean and smelled fresh. Separate desk area with a small refrigerater is a nice touch. Location was perfect as we were picking up our daughter at George Washington University for a break.

Date of Stay: June, 2009

The location of the Hotel in downtown Washington DC is convenient. Carpet in room was stained and wallpaper is peeling. Stained carpet, peeling wall-paper and poor TV reception, it was good. I did however find the $50 soup and salad delivered to the room a bit pricey, especially since I found out I could order to go at the Library bar for about twenty bucks. I do not know how my car liked the stay as I did not ask. I did half expect it to come back washed and detailed for the $38 per day parking fee. All in all, it met my needs but not at a four star level, except the parking.

	Date of Stay: September, 2008
This was my second stay at The Melrose, and I'll probably book there again because the location is perfect and the price is great. The room was perfectly clean and attractive and the staff is professional, though not friendly. It is great if you have only one person in a room. The rooms are very small and the bathroom is tiny, so I wouldn't recommend it for couples or families.

	Date of Stay: May, 2009
Spacious suite! Small bathroom. Hotel was more than expected in terms of space. Was expecting room only and got a suite. Excellent location! 3 blocks from Georgetown 3/4 mile from Mall. Clean! Staff very friendly.

Date of Stay: March, 2008

The location of the Melrose was very convenient. Walking distance to Georgetown, a metro station and the Kennedy Center (however a free shuttle to the Kennedy Center is located at the metro station a few blocks from the hotel). The room was a nice size. The down side was the limited vanity space. While a pedestal sink adds charm, there was no vanity space other than a small shelf above the sink, large enough to hold only a few small items. The air conditioning was not working during our visit. While it was still winter, we had a few unseasonabely warm days and our room was very warm even with the heat turned down. The only option offered by the hotel was to open the windows.

Good location, attractive decor and pretty clean.

	Date of Stay: March, 2008
Crabcakes are wonderful. Location can't beat and staff is friendly. If you want to workout this is NOT your hotel. Good value.

	Date of Stay: May, 2009
Very friendly staff and very accommodating.

	Date of Stay: February, 2008
Cozy, friendly, helpful. OLD DC renovated hotel. Weather was warm.

Date of Stay: May, 2009

Location in Georgetown area was perfect and short walk from Washington sites. Space under door let in hall light. Had to put blanket there to darken room. We were very pleased with the hotel room for the price paid. If had to spend more it might not have been as satisfying a stay. No real view from our room but spent time seeing sights so it did not matter. The desk clerk was so helpful and nice. I would come back again to have that kind of service and positive approach to customer service.

	Date of Stay: November, 2007
The room are spacious, and the staff is friendly. I would highly recommend it.

	Date of Stay: May, 2009
Location. Noisy. Well located and big rooms, not very clean.
