Top National Museum of American History Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect!!!"

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay for the price, the location is great. The extra pillows were in a zippered bag in a drawer under the bed which we didn’t realize at first. The hotel has a great breakfast buffet which we should have added on to our stay. The bed was okay."

Arlo Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Property was in a great location for what we wanted to do, close to Amtrak. Staff was kind and the hotel was clean."

Hilton Washington DC Capitol Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is beautiful and clean centrally located to major DC attractions and the train station Staff extremely courteous and helpful. Bedding and rooms very clean, comfortable and spacious"

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

8/10 Good

"The property was very clean and well appointed and very conveniently located. The main disappointment, though, was that there was super low water pressure. It was like trying to bath with a garden hose."

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent"

Conrad Washington, DC

8/10 Good

"The room was amazing, and the property itself was absolutely stunning. Overall, I had a good stay, but there were a few areas where the service could have been better. There were several moments when staff didn’t seem as attentive or knowledgeable as I would have expected, even when asking fairly standard questions, such as the cost of valet parking. There were also times when calling Guest Services that the person answering the phone didn’t provide the warm or welcoming greeting I would typically expect from a property at this level. I also felt that the hotel could have been a little more accommodating with certain requests, particularly late checkout. While I understand that late checkout is always subject to availability, it was a little disappointing to see that a 4:00 PM checkout appeared to be available as a benefit for certain American Express guests, while there seemed to be much less flexibility otherwise. That said, the staff did make an effort to accommodate where they could, which I appreciated. Aside from those service-related issues, I really enjoyed my stay. The room was excellent, the hotel is beautiful, and the overall experience was still a good one. With a little more consistency in attentiveness, hospitality, and guest accommodations, the experience could have been exceptional."
