10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful stay. Ulysses Hotel is very well appointed and comfortable. Blooms bar is not the greatest, questionable hiring tendencies. Would recommend the stay.
Nicholas, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The only thing is that the hotel needs a little clean up. I know they are going for the old look but it is dusty in the lobby area. The rugs in the rooms also need to clean.

It was a very short stay. However the staff was amazing, and the hotel was absolutely beautiful. Probably was the best sleep I've ever had at a hotel!

Love this hotel. Very nice atmosphere quite walkable to dining but a plus with on site dining and things to do.
Terrelle, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was great. Bothe the ash-bar and blooms were amazing. The service by everyone was amazing. The only issue we had was that our AC unit didn’t work so the room was terribly hot.

Love it! Come

I love this hotel! So unique and cool.
Paulina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent location.Staff was friendly and accomodating. Interesting furniture all around and in the rooms. I would have liked to have had a phone, a clock, a fridge and a safe in the room.
Mario, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

I really really wanted to like this property… but… it fell short on a few things and exceeded my expectation in others (The decor of the rooms)

8/10 Very good

The Ulysses was a wonderful place to stay, with a great location. Easy walk to many historic landmarks in Mt. Vernon, and walkable to the harbor/Fell’s point if you are okay with a longer trek! We enjoyed the unique and quirky atmosphere of the hotel, clean room and lobby, and welcoming staff. There were many great dining options in walking distance, and the train station was only a few blocks away, making it convenient to take a quick day trip to DC! Would certainly stay again and recommend to friends or family visiting the area.
Sarah, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the unique decor of the hotel, restaurant and lounge. The staff here is exceptionally friendly, helpful and accommodating. Had an issue with the room next door leaving a barking dog unattended for hours. The staff offered me a room change for the next day, which I accepted but I wish pets allowed by the Ulysses were restricted to certain floors, like they do at other hotels.
