The hotel was clean and very pleasant staff. Beautiful lobby. Very clean and all were large rooms! Area recommendations Georgetown is wonderful. Full of activity and excellent restaurants! Getting around Staying at the Melrose allows you to get around on the Metro. It takes you all over the city so you can park your car for the trip! More

Melrose is tucked away right on the edge of George Washington university and is about a 5 min walk or so from the metro. The great thing about this location is it's about a 10 min walk from Georgetown and all the great shops and restauraunts. The king room was great in size. Nicely appointed with a sitting chair, desk,... More

Checked into this hotel only to find out I would have to pay a $100 pet deposit. I assumed that since it was a deposit I would get it back if there was no damage left to the room.the next morning received the bill with a $100 "miscellaneous fee". I spoke to the manager the next day to request my... More

I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay at the Melrose due to the pet fee. As I mentioned to you at the day of check out, I was at the desk when you and your wife checked in and I personally witnessed the desk associate explain to you that the deposit was non- refundable in... More

I thought this was a great hotel. Clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, GREAT location and price, also it is pet friendly!! If we go to Georgetown again, we will for sure stay here. Only downfall, the walls are thin, so you do hear people in the next room if they are talking loudly. Our neighbors were at 7am on a... More

After traveling all day I arrived to find they had given my room away. They booked me in another room of their sister property the "Churchill". The room as NOT what I paid for. I had to wait for the room to be cleaned and readied. When I finally got in it I realized it was a smoking room and... More

I want to apologize for the overbooking and the service shortcoming you experienced at the Churchill. There were some unforeseen circumstances that put the hotel in an oversell situation. Please contact me directly at the hotel as I would like to invite you back as my guest for the issues you encountered at the sister property. Regards, Joe Dantoni More

Perhaps we should listen to these reviews. We arrived for our reservation after traveling all day to find that they had overbooked and had no room for us. And they would send us to another hotel, and pay for one night, but then expect us to move and come back. I have never had this happen before. We will never... More

The room was quite large and nicely laid out, with separate work nook (with desk), sitting area, separate bath/sink area. It's an old building and some of the details are a bit worn (eg, tired enamel in the bathtub, wallpaper peeling at the edges in some spots, uneven floor), but nothing major and certainly in line with what you'd expect...
