10/10 Excellent
"Exceptional Hospitality—Morrison-Clark Is Now My Home Away from Home I contacted the Morrison-Clark Hotel before my stay, and from that very first interaction, Maria set an extraordinary standard for hospitality. I have traveled throughout the United States and around the world, and I can honestly say that I have never encountered a front-desk professional quite like Maria. She could teach a master class in customer service. She was gracious, attentive, knowledgeable, and committed to ensuring that every detail was handled with care—even before I arrived at the hotel. That exceptional service continued throughout our stay. I reserved five rooms, and every member of the team—from the front desk and housekeeping staff to the restaurant team and bell staff—was professional, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. Their collective commitment to excellence made our entire experience memorable. The Morrison-Clark Hotel has earned my highest recommendation and will now be my home away from home whenever I am in Washington, D.C. Maria, thank you for setting the standard before I ever walked through the hotel’s doors. You and the entire Morrison-Clark team demonstrated hospitality at its very best. Excellence is not simply promised at Morrison-Clark—it is delivered."

"I would have liked a heads up on construction that is happening and entrance to use. Also would be nice if room had some drinkware available for use while in room. The credit provided was not used as only in for the night. We already had dinner plans and checkin/checkout time did not align with our stay. The snacks available were very limiting."
