The Spotlight on Morrison Clark Historic Inn

Charming Historic Elegance Just Steps from DC's Music Scene


Morrison Clark Historic Inn is a beautifully restored 19th-century Victorian mansion located in the heart of downtown Washington, DC. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this full-service hotel blends classic charm with modern convenience. With individually decorated rooms featuring period furnishings, Italian Carrara marble fireplaces, and even private balconies, your stay here feels more like a boutique experience than a standard hotel night.

Just a short walk from the Metro Center and Mount Vernon Square stations, and less than half a mile from the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, it’s ideally placed for catching a show and exploring DC after dark.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location is unbeatable for fans heading to downtown venues—some are even walking distance. After a late-night show, it’s easy to get back with nearby Metro access and 24-hour front desk service. The vibe is peaceful, offering a quiet retreat after the energy of a live performance. Flexible check-out at 12:00 pm is a big plus if you’re catching some extra Zs after a long night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends wanting a stylish, central home base
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list act
  • Couples looking for a romantic weekend with music and culture
  • Fans needing a quiet, comfortable recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value in a premium location

Food and Drink Options

While Morrison Clark doesn’t offer 24/7 room service, it does have an elegant on-site restaurant that's perfect for a post-show bite. You’ll also find a variety of walkable late-night dining spots nearby. Breakfast is available and hits the spot after a night of dancing or singing along.

Nightlife Options

This hotel is surrounded by the buzz of DC’s nightlife. From cozy cocktail bars to lively clubs and lounges, you're never far from an afterparty—or a quiet nightcap. The on-site bar offers a more relaxed atmosphere with classic drinks and a refined setting.

What People Say

Guests rave about the historic ambiance, clean and comfortable rooms, and the hotel’s excellent location near major attractions and venues. Many love the attention to detail in the decor and the overall welcoming vibe.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that because it’s an older building, rooms can vary in size and layout. Others mention that the hotel doesn’t offer extensive modern amenities like a gym or pool—but most agree that the charm more than makes up for it.

The Bottom Line

A stay at Morrison Clark Historic Inn gives concert-goers a stylish, peaceful, and centrally located home base with vintage charm and modern comforts.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Dániel Wed, 13 August 2025

Far from the best

Liked: The location was nice.
Disliked: The staff is not very friendly or natural. They were either cold or a little bit over confident sometimes. The breakfast was pretty bad. I had the most depressive eggs Benedict in my life. The coffee is terrible, watery and bitter. They burned the Cappuccino. If you heat the milk for 1 minute on full power, that's never gonna be a Cappuccino guys. These are basic things, how to cook an egg not to dry it out etc. Offering water for example also a nice thing, doesn't cost anything. You are still eating but they come to ask if you are finished already... Not very professional. If it's full I understand, but it was empty. Also I didn't like that it's stated on booking.com that the place has parking but they just let us know after the payment, that the car park will cost 45 dollars for 1 day.

I couldn't find a better-than-room-block...

Liked: The location was optimal for getting to the nearby convention center for a weekend event. The room was more or less comfortable overall, with enough to get me through the weekend. With ample space in the bed for the queen room, there's little to suggest an issue except possibly the support level of the mattress in the particular room; however, seeing as I own a Tempur mattress, this is really a subjective bias on my part, so you may have a better time with it & be able to fall asleep sooner.
Disliked: Upon closer inspection, it seems that a moth was somehow able to get into the room & hide. On Saturday night, as I laid down to sleep, I felt something and noticed a small, crawling insect I couldn't quite describe on the mattress that I subsequently knocked away and hopefully got underfoot. Seeing as I had suffered a number of bug bites over the weekend with only a very limited time outside, it was either a case of this bug perhaps getting in from a crack in the floor moldings somewhere in the hotel, or it came with me into the room on Friday or Saturday night. Given how the hotel is a bit on the older side, I can see how it's possible that some bugs could make their way into a weakened section, but there's no guarantee of that having been the case; rather, I'll simply chalk it up to my not noticing the bite sensations on my arms and my legs on the days I was present. It's most likely my own fault & some bad luck of being the target of bugs in the summer, so I cannot rightly call this a case against the hotel; even so, as a precaution, it's probably worth checking around the floor moldings just in case there are signs of insect intrusion to the property, no matter how minute it might be. That would bring this up from what should reflect a 9.5 rating (not 9.0) to a 10.
