We have stayed at other Kimptons and love B&Bs so this seemed like the perfect place. It was not. We arrived late on our first evening and were placed IN THE BASEMENT! There were NO real windows in our very tiny room that hardly had space for a king bed. The bed was so high it was quite hard to... More

Enjoyed our 1 night staycation at the Morrison house. Wish we could have stayed longer. Service was excellent overall. Atmosphere was comfortable and appropriately romantic. Great experience and right in the heart of everything. It was our 7th anniversary and we were welcomed with complimentary champaigne. We also had deserts and bubbly with out stay and they were wonderful. Room... More

The Morrison House is an exquisite boutique hotel. We did an in-town weekend away, and stayed a Friday and a Saturday night. The rooms are large and very quiet. They are well appointed with nice furniture and supremely comfortable bed, and a very nice bathroom. I must emphasize the word “quiet.” Nothing interrupted us. The toilets, for example, are almost...

After the hotel we originally booked ended up overbooked, we were sent here. They were not in any was gracious or hospitable. We were put in a room in the basement. Although it didn't look dirty, it felt dirty and smelled musty. Although I imagine they must have nice rooms (judging from the high ratings others have given this hotel)... More

Dear JEC222, I’m very disappointed that your recent experience did not meet the high standards we are known for. Your feedback in regards to the friendliness of our staff is concerning to me. Especially after you have been relocated by another hotel your welcome should have been extra friendly! I would like to get some additional information about your experience.... More

Twice we have had the pleasure of being guests of this fine Inn in old town Virginia and twice we came away happily rested. Antique repilcas and originals create that Colonial feel so familiar to many of us who grew up in the Old Dominion but what places this House above most all the rest is their attentive service and...

The staff and service is outstanding. The location is perfect for dining, shopping and cycling. Within a few minutes I was on my bike on the Mt. Vernon trail. I had a mechanical issue on my ride and arrived back at the hotel more than a little greasy. I was a little nervous coming into the lobby, but the staff... More

My wife and I stayed here Monday to Friday the second week in May. We had a wonderful time. The rooms were very nice and the food was great.

The Morrison House has the feel of a bed and breakfast, and the location right in the middle of downtown Alexandria gives an old-time feel we very much enjoyed.
