Top National Children’s Museum Hotel Reviews

The Henley Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Had lunch upon arrival in dining room. Food was delicious. Bar very limited in the cocktails they can make. Restaurant was closed Saturday night so there was no live jazz band as mentioned in Expedia’s highlights. Room and property is clean."

Willard InterContinental Washington by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Wow, it’s all I can say! The hotel is right in the heart of DC’s history. As soon as you step out, you can see the Capitol to your left. Walk to the end of the block, and there’s the Washington Monument. Just a couple of blocks away, and you’re in front of the White House. The service was impeccable too. I highly recommend checking out some of the nearby restaurants. The Occidental and the old Abbott Grill were absolutely amazing and just a short walk from the hotel. The front staff even noticed my birthday was a few days before my trip. When I arrived at the hotel after a day of sightseeing, they had cupcakes for each guest, wishing me a happy birthday. It was such a nice touch. Will definitely be back!"

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment I walked in, I knew I chose the right place. The vibe is awesome. My room was a corner city view and I loved it. The staff were kind and helpful. Rosa's Diner was delicious (try the roasted pineapple butter). This is now a yearly trip for me and I know where I will stay every time."

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Honest Review: for being a micro hotel it has everything you need and more! The rooms are clean, the staff is great, the food and drinks were awesome! Location is great as it is right across the Metro station, all museums are a few stations away so it is very convenient. I don’t understand why some ppl complain about noise, that was not my experience.The area is not the best, a lot of homeless people around but don’t let this discourage you from staying here, there is also a lot of national guard/police presence I (female, 47yo) traveled with my 22yo daughter and we had a great time, we never felt unsafe, We will definitely stay here again when we come back!"
