Small yet perfect hotel

The Morrison House is located on Alfred and King. King is the main street in Alexandria so it has all the shops and eateries you desire. The Hotel is small, however it makes up for it with excellent staff and great atmosphere. The hotel rooms use actual keys instead of keycards. The doorman is always willing to carry bags, open door, give directions or get a taxi. There is lively music in the restaurant and a coffee and tea bar every morning. I've always stayed at large hotel chains, and didn't expect much of a smaller hotel, but I sincerely underestimated the Morrison House Kimpton.
Unpretentious Luxury

The Morrison House epitomizes southern luxury. The rooms were quaint and lovely and didn't at all feel like a hotel. My daughter and I felt like royalty and considered staying an extra night just to sleep another night in our fabulous bed!!! The best and most important point is that many times we find ourselves in the lap of luxury faced with snotty, rude staff but this couldn't be farther from the truth with the staff of the Morrison House. They are the most polite, helpful and lovely group of people. They seemed happy to accommodate our needs and remembered to use my name in a way that was professional, slightly formal but as an invitation to their friendliness. I wouldn't think of staying anywhere else when I visit the area.
Lovely boutique hotel in heart of old town Alexandria!

We stayed here for one night, in this wonderful, lovely boutique hotel. The hotel is located one block from King Street, with easy walking access to the abundance of restaurants, shops, and waterside. The entire place is quaint. Our room had a massive, tall four poster King sized bed, quite comfortable. (I rated the bed comfort as a 4 not a 5, since it didn't quite match the beds at the Sofitel in Paris or the Pan Pacific---now JW Marriot---in San Francisco.) The room had an Early American feel to it...intricate wall coverings and mouldings, a fireplace, old restored furniture and a period chandalier... Plus a large, modern bath room with beautiful marble counters...
As for the staff....all were extremely friendly and helpful. Everyone knew our names! They graciously helped with directions to the hotel, and offered advice about restaurants. They made us feel at home.
I wouldnt necessarily recommend this place if you're bringing children, unless they are older and mature. This is a good value, an excellent choice for a romantic getaway or generally for a couples vacation. Highly recommended!

Great value. The service was outstanding. The room was a little small but I expect that in an old hotel. The wine reception was very nice. The only meal I had was breakfast and it was wonderful. The location is great for business or site seeing.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Great free wine reception every night. Ecofriendly, modern rooms with a colonial decore.
