My family and I just returned from a visit (first) to DC. The Melrose proved to be in an ideal location and that really was the only thing that was ideal about the hotel. After checking in, we couldn't get into our room...After the 2nd attempt to get into our room, we were still left standing outside our room in the hallway, Finally someone let us in with a master key and found out the lock was damaged. The room was large enough for the 4 of us and the pull out bed proved helpful and comfortable. There was no air condition in the room, but you can open a window. We had a manifestation of ants in the room, which resulted in passes for breakfast. The breakfast was so not impressive and a HUGE disappointment! On the first day of our sightseeing, we asked the front desk how to get to the monuments. They suggested the Metro (walking distance), but neglected to suggest that it was also only a 6 block walk as well! We ended up spending $36.00 on tickets for the Metro (which was a total waste). The Melrose is an old hotel and shows its age. Like I said, the location was great.
