Morrison House is an delightful boutique hotel, small enough that it feels like a hideaway. The area feels very safe for women traveling alone. There is an adorable courtyard entry with a fountain and double curving steps up to the the door. We stayed at the end of a week in DC, so we each had a large suitcase and a carry-on to haul awkwardly up the steps - maybe stay there when you are traveling more lightly. The front desk staff were adequately friendly. I am not disappointed in the service, but I did not have the outstanding experience that some reviewers have written about. We were upgraded to an Illustrator room, which is a corner room on a high floor. I found the room very clean and in good repair. The mattress was medium firmness and we slept well. The shower had good water pressure. We did not hear any noise from outside. Unfortunately it began to rain shortly after our arrival so we did not get a chance to explore the area. I did go downstairs for a complementary glass of wine. We were there on a Sunday so the restaurant was closed. Be sure to note the square footage of the rooms. They are smaller than average rooms in a 4-star hotel. The room did feel small but I think it was due to the 8-foot ceiling because it did not feel cramped. The air conditioning unit was a bit noisy but like I mentioned above, we did sleep well. Parking is in an underground garage below the hotel. Our vehicle was parked for us but they do not have valet services.

Second stay at the Morrison House, and still quite good. Had several issues while there, which can happen at any hotel, but staff went out of their way to resolve satisfactorily. Very clean, extremely comfortable bed, solid wifi and excellent location. Only a couple of things which I would strongly recommend they change. For a hotel where the room is $300/night, one does not expect plastic disposable cups in the room, only one chair to sit in or a ”Continental” (translation: cheap) breakfast. You're trying for a boutique experience, but that's more like a Motel 8! Anyway, minor things -- a very good hotel, and I'll be back when next in the area.
