Top Howard University Hotel Reviews

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot! Had a one night stay and it was lovely. Very quiet. Would come back."

Hyatt House Washington DC / Downtown / Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"The Hyatt House is a perfect location for visiting major attractions in DC, such as the Washington Monument, National Harbor, and The Wharf. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, and room service was offered daily. Furthermore, they served a free continental breakfast every morning. I would definitely choose to stay here again!"

Arlo Washington DC

8/10 Good

"I had a great stay at Arlo Washington DC. The hotel is beautiful, very clean, and the breakfast was excellent. The common areas are stylish and well maintained, creating a wonderful atmosphere. My only suggestions for improvement are that the air conditioning only goes down to 68°F, which felt a bit warm at night, and the curtains are not fully blackout, allowing morning light into the room. Other than these two minor issues, everything was perfect. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it."

Omni Shoreham Hotel

8/10 Good

"We have stated here in the past and always love to come back when visit DC. My only negatives this time was the hotel seemed very busy and crowded and seemed a bit understaffed. Restaurant services was slow and servers inattentive; valet and check in also took sone time but staff very friendly. The bathroom also had a slight sewer odor from sink or toilet, not sure. The pool was very crowded so did not swim."

Lyle Washington D.C.

10/10 Excellent

"The Lyle is an absolute gem. The location alone is worth it — everything is so close that you can explore the entire city without a car. Dupont Circle is the perfect home base, with restaurants, the metro, and so much of DC just a short walk away. The service matched the setting. The staff were warm and attentive from check-in onward, and the bar was a real highlight — a great spot to unwind after a day out. The rooms are beautifully done and incredibly comfortable; the beds in particular gave us some of the best sleep we've had while traveling. We'll absolutely be back. If you're visiting Washington, this is the place to stay."
