“A Peaceful Retreat from the Chaos of DC”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2013

This is a small, intimate hotel/Inn in the heart of Old Towne Alexandria. It has a very historic, residential feel and they have done a great job of creating a peaceful environment - elegant sitting areas, classical music, friendly staff - you get the picture. The rooms are small, but comfortable and nicely appointed. There is a cozy bar with a friendly bar tender and they have an elegant restuarant with high quality food. Highly recommended.

Room Tip: Basement rooms are a good value, and perfectly fine for 1-2 guests

Dear venturer2009,

I’m glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and that you took advantage of our great restaurant the Grill. I hope you also had the chance to check out our piano bar. I suggest that you treat yourself to one of our deluxe king rooms or even a suite to get some extra space the next time you are in town. Please don’t tell anybody but they are actually not that much more expensive.

Thanks for the great feedback,

Tobias

“Start to finish this was an amazing stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 27, 2013

From the minute we walked in we felt like we where not only welcome but also that they wanted us there. The general manager greeted us and everyone we encountered as far as the staff, we're wonderful.
We dined in the restaraunt the first night and that was very nice the food was great and the service was perfect. We will go back again.

“Wedded Bliss!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 24, 2013 via mobile

My beautiful bride and I were married at Morrison House on Feb 9th 2013. We wanted an elegant, intimate affair for 20 guests and we couldn't have chosen a better location. Sara and Anne in catering were fantastic from the very start and all the other staff we're detailed and responsive. We stayed in a suite Rm 509 and were greeted with freshly baked cookies and a card. The suite itself was well appointed and quite roomy with a seperate sitting area. If you're a foodie do consider The Grille, which is really quite good, preparing locally sourced ingredients with an obvious attention to detail. All in all Morrison House feels more like a grand manor house rather than a hotel. It's elegant, sophisticated and charming, befitting the character of Old Town.

“A beautiful romantic wedding”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 24, 2013

Last Sunday we had the delight of having our son and his beautiful new bride wed at The Morrison House. They had the intimate, romantic ceremony in the lovely parlor and library and the reception in the dining rooms, grill and parlor. The lovely hotel had all the feelings of a gracious home. The catering manager, Sarah, and banquet manager, Adam, were exemplary in planning and attending to every detail and making sure everything flowed perfectly. The dinner was excellent and all the guests enjoyed every aspect of their wedding, including staying at the hotel for the weekend for those traveling from out of town. Thank you Morrison House for all you did in being a part of the lifelong memories we will cherish!

“One of the best hotels I stay in”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 24, 2013

I travel all over and am fortunate enough to stay in the "finer" places. I would have to say that the Morrison House ranks up there with the best of them. I stay there at least twice a year, for 3-4 nights and have done so for many years! In all categories, from room quality to staff competence to location, it is clearly the best choice in Alexandria. In fact, once I started staying at the Morrison House, I use it whenever i am in the area and no longer stay in D.C. proper.
