Beware of the bedbugs in room 326!
We checked into The Melrose on Saturday May 26 with plans to stay 2 nights for Memorial Day Weekend. The staff that greeted us upon arriva was friendly and welcoming. We were given room 326 for our stay. The room was spacious and looked quite clean. Unfortunately, looks can be deceiving, and they definitely were in our case. 
Once in bed, my husband saw a bug the size of a ladybug on his pillow. He jumped right out of bed and turned on all the lights. We found 4 bedbugs on his pillow! We called the front desk right away. A staff member immediately came to our room and took the pillow with the bugs. He said he didn't think they were bedbugs, but wasn't sure what they could be. He also said that the hotel was completely booked so he couldn't give us another room. There was NO way we were going to stay in that room, so we decided to leave. The hotel did not offer to find a room for us at another hotel so we were forced to leave DC at 4 in the morning and drive back home. The hotel reimbursed the hotel stay but not the charge for the valet parking.
