Charming hotel and great location

I wanted to really like this hotel. It’s charming in a historic building. My room was small, but adequate. I appreciated the space-saving details like a freestanding “closet” created using some rods and fabric. Furnishings and decor were unique and tasteful. Cons: stairs outside and inside the hotel are not “luggage-friendly”; I chose to make two trips to load my rental car. Also, it was not made clear that morning pastries and coffee were not complimentary. The woman who checked me in was not very informative. I arrived at 9 PM on Friday and the restaurant kitchen was closing. The bar was open but not serving food. I would stay at the Ulysses again, but I will feel more prepared the second time.

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.

Property was adorable. Kayla, and the rest of the staff were super helpful and fun. Parking is convenient, less than a block away. Only one request, which would be a little fridge in the room to store leftovers, besides that, this place is definitely worth staying at!!

What an absolute delight. A romantic getaway. Staff was perfect! Vibe was chill. Room was sexy and deco was spot on. Two bars on site but delicious cocktails. Breakfast was available and scrumptious. Great location with various options for dining and coffee shops.
