  • Overall: Rating of 4.1 out of 5

    "Prices for a drink at the bar in the hotel were overpriced, I would recommend purchasing beer at the liquor store next door." source Orbitz

    "For a 4 star hotel this is as good as it gets: clean, accomodating, great overall service." source Hotels.com

    "I would definitely recommend this hotel to others." source Priceline

    "I met colleagues in the bar area which had a nice atmosphere but there was an overriding smell of stale beer, which reminded me of my college days and the college bars where you feet stuck to the floor because there was so much beer spilled on the floor." source Travelocity

    "I recommend the Melrose Hotel and plan to stay there again." source Expedia

  • Clean: Rating of 4.2 out of 5

    "We were very happy with the quality of our room - updated and very clean." source Hotels.com

    "Had leaking ceiling, severe mold problem, rooms not clean." source Priceline

    "You can tell hallways/woodwork and rooms have received many layers of paint over the years but that doesn't necessarily make it a clean place." source Travelocity

    "It wasnÂ’t cleaned properly and hair on all over the bathroom floor and tub. Non-smoking room was fairly clean." source Expedia

    "While everything was clean the suite we had needed some work." source Travelocity

  • Service: Rating of 4.1 out of 5

    "The only issues we had were with trying to order room service." source Hotels.com

    "Friendly staff; great location. We were very pleased with the location and its friendly staff." source Priceline

    "The main resturant was less than exciting, service was slow and food was just ok. The lounge was nice and service was good." source Travelocity

    "The hotel staff (employed) by Melrose was absolutely 1st class, however, the Valet Service, which is an independent contractor was not." source Expedia

    "We loved that they had room service." source Hotels.com

  • Location: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "Location is pretty good. This hotel is ideally located to Georgetown and Foggy Bottom Metro stop, however the hotel is a 4 star wanna be." source Priceline

    "everyone greeted us when coming and going and were all very helpful when we had questions about the area or the hotel. The bathroom area could have been a little cleaner but for the price in the D." source Travelocity

    "We had a nice stay at the Melrose, the location is super convenient and the service was awesome." source Expedia

  • Value: Rating of 3.5 out of 5

    "The hotel is in a great location and the cost per night was affordable compared to other hotels in the area. Was disappointed with the cost associated with internet access." source Hotels.com

    "1 person working front desk while 5 people waited to check in, restaurant prices were unrealistic to food quality, ""fitness center"" was 1/4 size of my room and THE treadmill did not work, room was VERY outdated and in poor condition for the price." source Travelocity

    "I travel 30% of the time for work and honestly it would rate in the bottom 10% for value." source Travelocity

    "Location of hotel is great, but the room was not worth the price I paid for it." source Travelocity

    "For the money it just was not a good value." source Travelocity
