"Close to Metro"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Excellent facility, courteous staff and short walking distance to the Metro.

"A little difficult to find, but worth the search"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Slightly difficult to find at first, but nicely updated and clean. Was very surprised that the kitchen was clean - you can just never be sure about public kitchens, but all of the appliances and surfaces throughout the room were clean. Hotel location is decent (obviously depends on what you are visiting for), but be mindful that it is on an airplane path (for Reagan) - its completely silent at night, but in full action starting at 6-7am.
Location.
The Morrison Clark Hotel stands two blocks from the Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. The White House and the Smithsonian Institution museums are one mile away.

Downtown DC is awash with culture. The Smithsonian Institution museum complex flanks the National Mall. The Washington Monument bisects the Mall, just south of the White House. Federal agency headquarters house bureaucrats of varying stripes. Moneyed and powerful lobbyists help create (and quash) laws from K Street. Chinatown and the Washington Convention Center lie east of downtown.
see all hotels in Washington"located in the heart of the city"
beautiful historic hotel, blocks from the White House and metro station. Only thing iI would do different is get a room facing the courtyard instead of the noisy street.

"Great value for the area"
More than I expected
"Great Stay!"
Just need more light in the bathrooms!!
Not recommended for anyone with any physical impairment. Difficult stairway at the entry and no one to help with bags.
Hotel exceeded expectations. I will plan to stay here for future business trips, and even personal stays.
"Very pleasant stay"
Quiet clean hotel without the "same old same old" hotel feeling. Would stay again definitely
"Pretty hard to fault for the price"
This is a pretty hotel, a nice area and a good rate. It is easy to find and i was pleased i chose this over other more corporate hotels. The room was very cosy and although a little erderly in its twee way - i gotta say i liked it. On arrival i had to swap rooms as the one i was originally given had a terrace but the window door to get on it was broken. […] When i went to the front desk to ask about it they seemed to think having a terrace was a bonus, even if it was inaccessible. Still - i asked to change and the next room was a lot better and lighter! But i did have to insist to change. Anyway, it was all dealt with courteously and the stay was peaceful and easy. Plus this place really isnt too far off from a bunch of things. Would recommend. Oh and free wifi. How it should be Read more
"I was bumped ... but everything was magnificent"
When I arrived for check-in, my room at the Morrison-Clark was unavailable, so they put me up in a sister property across the street. A staff member carried my bags, got me all checked in and was wonderful. The room (also in a historic property) was huge. There was a small fridge and mini-bar sink in the room which was a surprising and delightful upgrade. […] All-in-all it was a tremendous experience. I will use the Morrison-Clark again! Read more
"Hotel Morrison Clark Washington DC lovely stay"
Our daughter and son in law both active duty soldiers stayed during the Easter holiday. It was a delayed honeymoon gift from us. I was so impressed with all aspects and comforted by the graciousness of the staff. They said they slept better than they had in months due to the quiet and comfort of their room. Thank you!
"Wonderful hotel"
We had read a review that there was trouble parking larger vehicles. We have a seven seater SUV, an had ABSOLUTELY no such problem. They accommodated our vehicle in a separate locked lot. We were very pleased with this. The staff was pleasant, accommodating, and knowledgeable about the area. We had a room on the courtyard, and it was private, stunning, […] and well maintained. We were so pleased with the room, the courtyard, and the staff, that we will definitely be back. Read more

"Morrison Clark Hotel, DC, convenient, not fancy"
Made the reservation late hours of the evening, after midnight. Was falling asleep on the road, so I was glad to have a reasonable rate for a night. I booked it thru Hotel.com. 10 mins after I reserved the room and paid for it on the phone with a Hotel.com agent, I was at the hotel. A young man working behind the desk was called by the agent, but when […] I showed up, he seemed confused. He told me he hadn't received "the fax" yet. He was going to keep me waiting in the front, but I snapped at him for this logistical inconvenience, even after I gave him my confirmation number. I was given the keys to a room on the 1st floor, which was up the stairs, but outside. The room was a suite type room with a couch and some other amenities. The room was dark, the carpets were stained, and everything looked old. The bathroom was clean, and so were the sheets. The bed was comfortable. I got some sleep and that's all I needed, but it certainly wasn't pretty. Read more
"It was ok"
Nothing special about this hotel.. room had a smell to it but it is an old building.. only 1 elevator but never had to wait long for it.. make sure u have good walking shoes, you will be doing alot of walking.. other than that the stay was good and staff was nice!!
"Nice Hotel!"
I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff was friendly, the room nicely appointed and clean, and the restaurant served good food.

"just what we were looking for"
It was a shame we only stayed one night. But the hotel was just as advertised. Pretty, comfortable, and in an excellent location. The bed was amazing, and it was nice not to be in one of the giant chain hotels.
"Beautiful historic Inn - a walk away"
The place was beautiful inside. Located in a high-rise residential area, it is a semi-long walk to the usual sights but worth it for the great price. Our room was a mini-suite with a sitting room and TV and a bedroom (with no TV). Not too far from K Street where there a few nice restaurants and bars.

"Historical beauty in quaint walking neighborhood"
I enjoyed my stay at the Morrison Clark very much. The front desk was attentive to our needs. Taxis were always rather easy to find on the nearby Massachusetts ave intersections. The maid service was always pleasant and prompt and included turn down service and a chocolate! The room was small but had a feeling like home with its decor, including bay […] windows with a seating area and a mini fridge. The restaurant in the lobby area was well designed. We did not stay for a meal but enjoyed the half price happy hour including a free first drink with yelp checkin. We were sad to leave at the end of our three days. I wished I could to live here for a year! Read more
"Morrison Clark great location for Wash DC sights"
I was very pleased with my overnight stay at this small intimate hotel tucked away in downtown DC, centrally located to the sights and walking distance to all my meetings. I will be happy to stay in this hotel again and be pleased to recommend it to friends.
My stay here was wonderful. The hotel was quite beautiful and very charming. Would definitely stay here again!
"I will be back"
Very nice and clean. I work in the customer service industry and they are second to none!

"Excellent whole in the wall!"
A very excellent place to stay. I was only there for a night but the impression was outstanding and the wife and I will be staying there again for our next visit to DC.

"Mixed bag"
The hotel itself is a beautiful historic building. My room was decorated nicely. It was small, but comfortable. The layout of the furniture was strange though, in that the TV was in a wardrobe, and a bedside table was placed such that you couldn't open the wardrobe door wide enough to watch the TV. So I had so do some furniture rearranging to watch […] the news in the morning. I saw so many rave reviews about the service that I was expecting to be wow-ed. Unfortunately, I was not. Our reception was tepid, at best, at the front desk at both check-in and check-out. The bellman was consistently friendly and was the bright spot in the area of customer service. This is supposed to be a non-smoking hotel, so I was surprised on my second night there to smell a very strong cigarette smoke odor in my room. I was on the 4th (top) floor of the building. Around the same time I smelled smoke, I heard footsteps above me (presumably on the roof). The smell of smoke was so strong in the bathroom that I had to keep the door closed and the fan on in order to go to sleep. Because of the steps I heard on the roof, I'm guessing the staff was on the roof smoking, and the smoke was entering through the ventilation system in the bathroom. Very disappointing. I detest cigarette smoke, and it made my second night there very uncomfortable. I did call to report the problem to the front desk, but by that time I had a headache from the smoke and got very little sleep that night because the smell and the headache kept me awake. If I stay again, I will definitely request NOT to be on the 4th floor. Read more
"What a find!"
This is an historic property that has been continuously renovated and upgraded. The restaurant is wonderful, also! Location for walking in DC is fabulous...near the Mall, 7th, the Convention Center, Metro Center...great!
"Morrison Clark - charming but not for relaxing"
My husband and I recently choose the Morrison Clark to spend a relaxing weekend away in DC. The location was perfect for walking to Chinatown and the Mall, and perfect for using the Metro. However, my husband is 6 foot and his feet were hanging off the end of the bed. We booked the Victorian Room in hopes to sit in the room and catch up on some reading […] and maybe watch a movie. This was not condusive since the sitting area was two dinnet chairs. My husband was irritated that he couldn't sit on the bed and watch TV. The TV was housed in a position that could only be viewed if you were sitting directly in front of it which faced the opposing wall. I would recommend the hotel for the amazing food and location. If you were not planning on relaxing in the room / hotel and were going to be out and about in DC it is perfect. Read more
"Excellent Place to Stay"
The Morrison-Clark was a great hotel. It was very clean, the staff was very nice and the room was very fun to stay in. We were in a Victorian room and it had a door that led to a private full porch with a table that you could sit outside. On Saturday night, we ate at their restaurant. We were the only ones there, so we were a little nervous. The food, […] however, was AMAZING. I would highly recommend you eat there, even if it is room service. We had breakfast in our room and that was excellent, too. If there were any negatives, it was that it may need a little refreshing in paint and the curtains were sun faded. That doesn't bother me, because the room was obviously clean. It was a great place for our second honeymoon. :D Read more

Good location. Good value.
"morrison clark in DC- B&B atmosphere in a concrete"
This IS a 150yr old mansion so we can't compare it to a 5yr old motel. The room was great, cozy with nice HVAC for cold nights. Bathroom had an standard mid-level hotel look but with heated floor, nice. The walls and doors were thick enough to keep noise down. I do agree that an HD screen is a waste without HD programming but that's a first world complaint. […] Doorman and staff were friendly. Full service restaurant downstairs is a good idea with eateries about 5 blocks down. We walked to Chinatown, about ten minutes and well worth it. Very cozy, felt more at home here with the decor beyond that of standard hotel fair. I've already recommended this place as a B&B flavor with easy access to the mall and museum crowd. This place is sweet, and I'm pretty sure most of DC burned down at some point in the past 150 years which adds interest for me. Read more
"モリソンクラークホテル"
地下鉄Green line沿線に用件があり1人で宿泊。Mt Vernon Sq/7th St.駅まで徒歩10分弱で便利。帰りは隣のチャイナタウン駅で降りて食事（徒歩で帰る）。ナショナルギャラリーも徒歩可。歴史ある建物です。私の部屋は窓が廊下に面していてカーテン閉めたままで少し圧迫感あり。室内の備品など少々安っぽい。全体的には落ち着けた。
"19th Century elegance"
This small boutique lodging has the charm of old Washington. I recently read The Raven and felt I had stepped into an era of elegance and statesmanship. The parlor and dining areas are charming. I loved this location and will certainly plan to return.
"An Old Worlde kind of Hotel"
A most wonderful time was spent at this hotel. The staff was non Pariel. We were checked into the first room where there was a slight leak in the bathroom. We were given another room without question and a most wonderful night was enjoyed there. I will most definitely recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone...

"Morrison Clark charming and quaint"
A charming, quaint hotel. Loved the historic architecture and elegant decor. It was much nicer than staying in the typical chain hotel. Staff was friendly and attentive. The room we were in was smaller than the average hotel room but I wouldn't say it was too small or too cramped. We had all the space we needed and loved the bay windows and big trim. […] Would definitely stay at the Morrison Clark again. Read more
"Morrison Clark Hotel in Washington, DC"
This hotel is a historic building. Was formerly two townhouses owned by Mr. Morrison and Mr. Clark in 1847. It was a beautiful hotel and felt more like coming home than entering a traditional modern hotel. Very quaint. The service was great and the employees were very accommodating. It would be nice to have more bright lighting throughout the suite […] . Read more
"Classic Boutique Hotel in DC"
The Morrison-Clark is a lovely boutique hotel converted from two mansions. The staff is exceedingly friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice, although a bit small (which is typical for a boutique), but could use a little more light. We enjoyed our stay, and would return the next time we are in Washington.

"Excellent place to stay"
Beautiful hotel, friendly staff, great rooms. Only problem is that my internet connection was a bit slow, which is a bit of a problem since I am a business traveller. Nevertheless, I would certainly stay there again as I enjoyed being in a hotel with personality and warmth, rather than a standard chain hotel that is the same in every city.
"Nice historic hotel"
The building is old,but charming and historic and generally in good repair, although the deadbolt on my door was tricky to open from the outside and took several tries. I had a room with a view of the courtyard, and it was very pretty and quiet. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful.

"Morrison Clark Hotel in DC"
If you are a walker, there is no better small hotel to be in. If you aren't a walker it's in any reason taxi fare to DC venues or you can take a bus. Standard hotel rooms are small. The lighting is dim, OK for a romantic get away, but difficult if you like light. I'm sure the staff would remedy that, should you ask. The staff is excellent, accomadatig, […] attentive and charming, and must have been chosen to fit the hotel image. Excellent restaurant. Excellent bar. Professional and charming and certainly where I'll stay in on my next visit. Nice quiet areas to bring associates, etc. Read more

"not happy"
I booked this hotel because of proximity to the convention center as I had to work there, and I thought I could park at the hotel. Unfortunately my truck didn't fit in their compact car garage so I had to pay $33/day somewhere else to park. not happy. also - their restaurant closes at 9pm. so while the nice old historic thing is great, I wish it had […] more modern conveniences.
