Overall stay was ok. The front desk service upon arrival was a little rude and left us unsure of our stay from the start. The fixtures in the bathroom were all semi broken. The tv was a little small and didn’t have many options. The location of the hotel is great. Overall not too bad, but not quite meeting expectations.

We were a bit disappointed. We were stuck in a basement room. The hotel was not what we remembered. We went there to relive our 1st Valentine’s say, which was 28 years ago. It was a bit shabby. The Marriott chain purchased it, so we expected it to be even more special, than it was 28 years ago. There was no mention, when we checked in that the front door of the hotel, would be locked at night. We rang the bell, but received no answer. We finally realized we had to use our key card to get in. Another couple came in behind us with the same issue. The hotel clerk was in the office, while we were waiting for the front door to be answered. We were offered a free breakfast, for the next day. It was not good. The pancakes were crunchy. They were completely dried out. The eggs were congealed, and there was not much else to choose from. I sincerely doubt we will ever go back. We paid around $300.00 for 1 night. 😞

Being an Autograph Hotel,I was a bit disappointed. The location is unbeatable but there is no place to park on your own. Valet is $45 a night, too pricey for me! There is a nice fountain in front of the hotel that is in a desperate need of paint and the front door looks a little rough. Otherwise, very clean,nice staff, nice breakfast $25, and a small bar. I would stay here again for the location.

I routinely stay in the Marriott Autograph Collection hotel chain. They usually are very special. Unfortunately I can’t say that for the Morrison House in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia which is an Autograph Collection Hotel. The outside of the building is very charming. However once you put your foot in the door all that charm vanishes. The interior is very dingy, and down right dirty. There appeared to be dried splattered stains all over the elevator doors and walls. I was a little hesitant in even getting in it. When we entered our room there was a dirty used glass with dried coffee in it. It obviously had been there for quite a while. There were dirty used towels on the bathroom counter top. I immediately went to the front desk and told them what I found. The receptionist checked his computer and said the hotel supervisor had personally signed off that the room was clean and ready. We were given another room that was clean but unfortunately the shower soap dispenser was empty. I didn’t find it out until I was taking a shower. I just used the shampoo for shower gel. The room did not appear the way the photos show it to be. The room was very gloomy and dark. It is also partially underground. When you look out the window your head is literally at the same level as the street. Needless to say we were very disappointed in our room. The staff was very friendly and the location is very good but in no way is this a four star hotel. Because of the poor filthy

This is me and my wife's favorite place to stay when we want a staycation. The mixologist on staff is amazing (if you are into mixed drinks), and the hotel is so close to many of our favorite restaurants in the area. So walkable, yet off the beaten path. As a lover of books, getting to take books home is a bonus. We stay here at least 2 times a year.

Great quick trip to Old Town in this wonderful boutique hotel. The hotel is very inviting with lots of great spots to relax in. The bar was cozy with a fantastic bartender and fun cocktails. They had a live piano player on Saturday night. The rooms are small, but modern and comfortable. It’s a very easy walk down King Street to the waterfront. Just be aware there is no parking on site. You can street park or valet for $45/night. Highly recommend!

From the moment I approached the hotel I felt like a very special, welcome guest. My luggage was carried up the steps to the lobby. I asked the concierge if I may leave my bags until check-in; instead, Eskodar offered an immediate check-in and a room with a view! That set the tone for
a wonderful, 2-day stay. The hotel restaurant is lovely, service exemplary, creative menu with a South American flair. Small bar has live entertainment, there's a casual lounge off the lobby. Location is ideal: walk to museums, shops, cafes, or hop the free, King St. trolley or circulator bus.

Update your website & hotels.com posting!

Excellent: Location, location, location! Morrison House is perfectly located just off King Street near small boutiques and restaurants. It is a comfortable walk from the Alexandria Amtrak Station and the waterfront.
Excellent: The Staff! On our 3 night stay we had contact with numerous desk attendants and 1 housekeeper. Everyone was helpful and courteous!
Excellent: Room size was large for a small hotel and extremely clean upon arrival.

Good: The beautiful exterior of the building. The common room with gas fireplace. The unadvertised wine hour daily from5-6pm. The beautifully appointed rooms!

Bad: I missed the small print that the rooms would not be serviced during multi-night stays. Eating breakfast in our room was lovely but the trash and crumbs that built up over 3 days is inviting rodents and insects.

Ugly: Today I went to the website and copied this: “Our restaurant features a seasonal menu of small plates expertly paired with masterfully created cocktails, as well as live entertainment. With three elegant event spaces, we can host professional and social gatherings that are sure to impress.” I also went to hotels.com and viewed the very pictures that convinced me to pay a higher price to stay at the Morrison House. I was looking at another hotel on the waterfront and noticed that their restaurant was closed. I called and asked about it and received a run around, so booked the Morrison House. Guess what! No restaurant, no bar! Because it was before
