Do not listen negative reviews. I've stayed at Holiday Inns, Hyatts, Marriots, Hiltons, The Four Seasons and boutique hotels. This hotel ranked above most, save The Four Seasons- Defintiely an upgrade from most chains, the hotel had an understated elegance, the rooms were very generously sized for a city hotel, there were many elegant ...

All the comforts of Gitmo

I've been in youth hostels with cleaner rooms and more functional facilities (like hot water). Oh, and they screwed with the bill on check-out to add insult to injury.

Small and personal

The Melrose has the feel of a small European hotel. The staff was attentive and helpful. I had extensive faxing and telephone calls to make during my visit, and the front office went out of their way to give me access to the technology I needed to complete my transaction. Housekeeping was more than prompt to correct a plugged toilet as well as a ...

This hotel has an excellent location, close to Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, and etc.
However, it was not up to its 4-star rating. Dingy carpets, blown lightbulbs, no air conditioning (!!!), a half-hour of waiting for the rude valet to return my car, and no apologies offered.
So, whether you'll like it or not depends on what's ...
I was pretty impressed with the hotel, as far as service, decor, and room service. The valets were extremely knowledgeable, quick and friendly. However, on my last night they called to tell me that my govt credit card was declined. I told them my limit must not have been increased by my office and that I would call the credit card company. I did ...

DC Resident Recommends tThis Hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/21/06
As a DC resident with family who come to visit frequently, I highly reccommend this hotel. It is an elegant hotel in a central DC location, halfway between Foggy Bottom and Georgetown, right on Pennsylvania Avenue. This service is phenominal!

Excellent
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/31/06
I had a very nice stay at the Melrose, the room was large and comfortable, and very quiet. The desk was actually away from the bed, giving extra room to move about and actually relax in the chairs. My room was an interior so street noise was nonexistant. The staff was excellent, in fact, when I told them that some material from the iron had ...

This isn't service
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/14/04
My stay in washington was a joke. I enjoyed the city overall, but the service in the melrose was rediculous. I stayed on hold for 45 minutes (generously) before the front desk would speak to me to take care of my ill cleaned room the first night. After discussion with matt, a manager of some type I was assured that I would be taken care of. It was nothing more than dissipointments for three more days before I left disgusted.
