Top George Washington University Hotel Reviews

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, from the location to the room itself. The front desk staff was very helpful. I would stay there again in the future. I highly recommend Hamilton Hotel."

Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC/Georgetown Area

8/10 Good

"Overall, everything was good. As it should be. We really had no major issues. I did find the A/C loud, and since we travelled as a family of 4, I was sleeping directly in front of it and it was blowing quite heavily so I had to make sure I was fully tucking under the covers all night. I’m sure the other sleepers weren’t bothered by it. The pool was a nice thing to have, especially since it’s so humid in DC and walking a lot made it a nice perk but it is small. Location was good. About a 15 minute walk into Georgetown which is quite a nice place for shops and restaurants. It’s a bit further to walk downtown, 45-60 minutes on average. The only other thing I could say was that parking was an issue. We chose this hotel mostly because it touted ev charging on site for our car. When we got there, their lot was full and also told it was $60/ day valet option only. No self park. We had to navigate the area in our own and find a place to leave our car. The public lot down the street charged us $160 for less than 3 days. Not impressed with that hefty and unexpected fee. We would’ve been better off parking at the hotel that promised on site parking."

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, staff very help and attentive, all amenities available and clean."

State Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Charming hotel perfect area located on GWU campus. Makes our trip so much easier knowing we have a place to stay when visiting our son."

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing!"

Hyatt Place Washington DC/Georgetown/West End

10/10 Excellent

"Great service"

Hotel Hive

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect. Location was perfect. Cleanliness was perfect and I would stay again."

The River Inn

8/10 Good

"We didn’t need a kitchen but came on a busy wkd so places we’d normally stay that slept 3 adults were booked. It was fine but I don’t get all the 10/10 ratings. The place was perfectly serviceable, basically clean but showing its age in places (wallpaper starting to separate, toilet roll holder very loose, old analog thermostats that were hard to read, blinds that were hard to open, etc.) Staff were very nice. Used the valet to park our SUV l, no issues there."

Hotel Washington

8/10 Good

"The boutique style hotel was clean and comfortable. The only challenge is the room layout that has an unusual bathroom layout the shower is glass view and once out od shower your in the room it is not within a bathroom with door the toilet is in a room with door. If you are traveling with children/teams it is uncomfortable. However there are rooms with a bath ROOM style farm close door for privacy and it all worked out wonderfully."
