I enjoyed my stay.
Pros:

Great location. Great lobby - Sitting area and Dining area.

The Concierge was kind enough to place the leftovers of the dinner I ate at a restaurant in their refrigerator overnight.

Cons:

I was supposed to get a wake up call and it was never delivered but it is okay as I had awakened in time.

Unforgettable stay with high level customer service.
Pros:

Conveniently located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. This hotel sets the bar high for customer service and personal touch. From start to finish, it exceeded our expectations. The bartender (Sean) delivered high-end speakeasy cocktails, which sparked warm conversations amongst hotel guests seated at the bar. Along with the property manager (Miguel) who took the time to provide an engaging history tour of the property and could be spotted assisting his team around the whole hotel. A true heart for hospitality. Looking forward to future stays at this community property and welcoming team!

Unparalleled Old Town Experience
Pros:

The Morrison House is such a great experience --- on this trip I cancelled my early train to stay longer even though the return home would be after midnight. I was able to really enjoy the amazing breakfast in the lobby, and luxuriate in my beautiful room. I have been coming here for 30 years, first as a school teacher to the piano bar, and now as an overnight guest. It was a restful Sunday and Sam D was so helpful to arrange a late check out time for me so that I could go for a walk to the water and return for a much needed nap after a festive Indian wedding the night before. The location is a pedestrian's dream come true. I dined at the Greek Taverna, on the same block. It was so perfect, I returned for dinner the same day! Love the outdoor seating. On a walk to the Potomac, I was able to pop in and out of shops and get in to a flow in a way you cannot replicate in a car: Mint Consignment, Sur la Table, Old Town Books and John Crouch Tobacconist all housed in historic brick buildings with festive windows. Thanks to Sam, I had a great view overlooking the historic Firehouse and the Masonic Temple in the distance. Miguel is the perfect host and all this great service sets this hotel apart from others. I recommend this hotel for solo travel and if I can't stay here, I postpone my trip! It is the only hotel in Old Town for me!

Pros:

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.

Pros:

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

Nice location but look somewhere else to stay
Pros:

Starting with the good things...The hotel is only 8 blocks from the river/restaurants and in a nice location. The bar and bartender was nice. During my one day/night stay the elevator did not work for about 3 hours so I had to use the stairs to the 4th floor. The internet was horrible, and I had to reconnect many times. I was unable to work satisfactory due to the internet issues. The best internet meant I had to connect to the conference one in the hotel lobby. The major news networks were all available except for Fox News so they obviously don't want you to watch that. I do not recommend the hotel and will stay somewhere else next year for my meetings.

No coffee until 7am. Are we joking?? Autograph Collection, I expect more from you. Cute room, small, but cute. Let’s get the coffee out earlier people.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

A nice hotel in a nice area. Friendly staff but it took over 30 minutes to check-in because of issues with the last minute reservation I made through Expedia. The night staff required making a copy of my drivers license and credit before I received a room key.

Review as of 07/01/2025
Pros:

A quaint little hotel in the heart of Alexandrea Ma.
The employees are excellent, so friendly and helpful. And the breakfast is unbelievable. Meeili is so sweet. She really made our stay memorable. She takes care of your every request at the breakfast bar. And they offer a great variety for your selection. The hotel is a quaint little hotel. The rooms are small but adequate. Everything is very clean and comfortable.
The only negative is the towels and toiletries. The towels are very thin. They definitely need replacing. And so too with the toiletries.
There is plenty of shopping in the area. And quite a selection of restaurants all within walking distance of the hotel. We are from the Shore in New Jersey and travel quite a bit. So we have experience in visiting many hotels and B and Bs.
Don’t miss out on a gem of a place when visiting Alexandrea.
