I had a fantastic stay at the Morrison Clark Historic Inn and highly recommend it for anyone visiting the heart of Washington, D.C. The rate I secured through Hotels.com was excellent, especially considering the quality of the hotel and its prime location. It’s within walking distance of City Center, Gallery Place, and the Convention Center, making it super convenient for exploring downtown DC.
There are some great restaurants nearby, including RPM Italian where I grabbed a quick express lunch, and Farmers and Distillers, which had a fantastic brunch buffet. The hotel’s decor was charming, blending historic character with modern comfort, and it was very well maintained throughout my stay.
The staff really made a difference—they were friendly, attentive, and accommodating, ensuring that every part of my stay was seamless. The thoughtful touches stood out as well—hot apple cider and coffee in the lobby created a welcoming atmosphere, while the room had everything I needed. The shower was excellent, the blackout curtains ensured a great night's sleep, and the high-speed internet was perfect for catching up on work. The fitness center was an added bonus, too. I also appreciated the complimentary spring water and chocolates—such a nice, old-fashioned touch that’s hard to find these days.
Another plus was the 12 p.m. check-out time, which was such a relief compared to the early check-out times at many other hotels. It made my departure so much more relaxed.
