Morrison Clark Restaurant

I had family visiting town and had them stay here. The room was really spacious and cleanly, they thoroughly enjoyed their stay. We ate at the restaurant one of the nights and the food was excellent, everything we ordered was well portioned and well prepared. The cost of the room per night is very reasonable and my family had zero complaints. The service at the hotel was top notch, very friendly. I’ll be back as a DC local just to eat at the restaurant again, highly recommend and this location off 11th St is very safe and walkable. Easy metro access as well.

A GEM: The comfort, class, and kindness far exceeded my hopes or any expectations of prior reviews. I booked a king sized room a week or so before a huge conference. There were 12 or so hotels within easy walking distance to the Washington DC Conference Center. Somehow, the Morrison-Clark seemed to be delightfully far enough from the 'loud big mega-hotels' for this magical time in early December when 'national cheerleading competitions' collide with 'professional conferences' and early season 'holiday parties'. I hoped to be able to return from a long day of conferences and have a quiet meal or even retire for room service. My family ran a hotel when I was young and this hotel felt familiar. But, with far more old world flair. The details: Room: King room (third floor) while I did not have a city view, the courtyard view was charming and delightful with climbing white camellias reaching stories above and fountains glimmering in the dangling pendant lights (not shining in the rooms, but downward)! The bed was very comfortable with the fluffy bedding that makes it truly feel like sleeping on a cloud. Privacy/Security: So easy to walk just around the corner from the conference center even after dark - plenty of tourists and all crosswalks had lights. A charming historic park right in front of the hotel is a buffer from the busy street which I never heard a peep from with my courtyard view (bonus). I never, not once, stood waiting for the elevator. I have always thought that the extra large hotels with the hotel key security for the elevator is less than meaningful when there are 8-10 people awaiting each elevator and 2-3 exiting with you on your floor. Cleanliness: Immaculate, truly, even with the ongoing rainy 2 days. The foyer and main elevator remained dry - this was a mystery to me. Service: This is an area that is difficult to describe. From our arrival (my college-age son and teenage son came along for one night to attend a football game), the gentlemen at the door were attentive and thoughtful. We were a modest crew, believe me. There was no chirping of walkie-talkies or shuffling us away. It was as if these two gentlemen had been waiting for us: "Hello. Welcome. How was your travel?" I am confident that even if we insisted on carrying our bags or finding our own parking, the reception would be the same. The front desk professionals were quick, kind, and warm. Historic vs. New: My room was on the newer side. My sons were on the historic side. I believe that many of the historic side are just as lovely as the newer side, if not with better views patio access. However, my sons were a last-minute booking, literally within a couple of hours. Their room was likely one not frequently used for guests. While all rooms in the hotel are single-bed rooms (king or queen), this room was a queen, and at hotels, this typically is a full/queen depending upon the size of the room. In this case, it was a full, and both my sons are over 6 feet tall. They have fought over covers before and were good sports about it, "It's better than your floor, Mom!" Frankly, the shower area was small, dark, and odd. But, clean! So, considering it was a 'cheer competition', 'early holiday', 'conference', and 'NFL' weekend, we were very lucky. LOCATION - LOCATION - LOCATION: look at the map! Extra: Even after my sons checked out of their room and returned home, I stayed for 3 more nights. It is subtle and hard to describe, but I will try: When I left for the day, if I glanced over to the desk, a bright and kind face smiled back and asked me to have a good day. The gentlemen at the door opened the door and escorted me to the steps, standing not too close but ready to offer directions or a hand if needed. Upon return at the end of the day, the same greeting and smiles. This is not obtrusive. It was so subtle that felt like this was my home in DC with a full staff of caretakers. I called my husband and told him that Morrison-Clark has found the balance between quiet, personal attention, and privacy.

This was my second time working with Morrison Clark for our organization’s annual event. I couldn’t be more delighted with the exceptional experience they provided. I can’t speak highly enough of the staff there. They went above and beyond, their professionalism and attention to detail were second to none. Lavina and Janay were incredibly attentive to detail and made sure that every aspect of our event ran smoothly. They were always eager to assist to our needs with a smile. The hotel’s central location made it easily accessible, elegant lobby, warm receptionists, and amazing staff. The beautifully decorated conference room was not only spacious but also ambiance of sophistication and elegance. The hotel room was exceptionally clean and cozy. It’s within walking distance of restaurants, shops and parks. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a top-tier location to host your next gathering.

My wife and I visited DC over the weekend for my wife's birthday and had our first stay at the Morrison-Clark Historic Inn. It was a wonderful stay. The lobby, restaurant and guest room were lovely. The warm welcome by the staff, especially Janae, made the trip and my wife's birthday all the more special. We highly recommend the hotel and will be back !

This will be my top hotel to stay in Washington D.C. the hotel rooms are just amazing, comfortable and very chic. My room had three windows with different views on the city. Staff were very friendly, kind and respectful. They even checked me in earlier than my official check in timing. The cleaned the room everyday and responded to all my requests very rapidly and effectively. I truly loved this place and would definitely stay in it again when I come to visit Washington D.C. soon.

I stayed at this hotel twice within the past month. One of the main reasons being, it is a 5-10 min. walk from the Metro stop that connects straight to Regan National Airport. The Hotel has been fully updated, and remodeled very nicely. The rooms are very clean and in very good condition, and the lobby has very nice décor. The location is good, with the White House area about a 15 - 20 min. walk, and it is on a side street which is not busy. I would have given it a full 5 stars had it not been for a long delay getting checked in on my second visit, as the hotel computer system was down. The issue wasn't the system being down, as much as there did not seem to be any proper plan, or management oversight to deal with it. This happened during a busy Friday evening period, and it felt very chaotic, even though the staff on hand tried to do their best. Overall the front desk, valet and other staff are very cordial and make every effort to make your stay pleasant. I plan to return on a future trip.

Great staff but amenities are limited. The coffee was great. The location is not that great because if you don't rely on uber or drive you are going to need to walk a lot because the major bus lines are at least 2 or 3 blocks away (usually L & 14th, K & 13th). Mount Vernon Sq metro is 4 blocks and McPherson Sq is 6 blocks away but keep in mind 1 block in DC is pretty long.
