Top National Museum of American History Hotel Reviews

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"No breakfast. Room was extremely small. Tight space. But we rested ok because it was very clean and friendly staff."

Eaton DC

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot"

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

8/10 Good

"Good overall stay. Night front desk guy was very helpful reversing a mistaken charge made by the morning check-in front desk person. The breakfast options are very meh if you’re getting the breakfast included with your booking. The bacon and egg bagel was pretty good but the wake-up call had way too much avocado (it might just be the person preparing the food). The sink in the bathroom in our room’s faucet was way too close to the sink and the pressure was too strong but these are nitpicks. We would consider coming back but for the price I think there are better options."

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC
