Top National Museum of American History Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"I loved the location, the hotel clean and presentable. The fact that I'm staying at your place and I have to pay for parking, pay for breakfast, lunch and dinner, there is no microwave and I have a balcony and there's no smoking allowed. Diffidently not worth the cost"

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location. Room was very reasonably priced. Free coffee (decaf, too). I'll be back 100%"

Arlo Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"A perfect stay! Thank you."

Hilton Washington DC National Mall The Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were super friendly, especially Walter in the lounge. The room was spacious with two king beds. The location was the standout feature for us as the Metro is nearby and we were able to quickly get to the museums and restaurants. So happy we booked this hotel!"

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

"A/c was not cool enough"

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are small but are clean and have everything you need to sleep, bath and relax comfortably. The rooftop was phenomenal, beautiful views, friendly bar staff and room to sit and enjoy company. There is also a Whiskey Lounge that is cozy, great soft music and enjoyed it."

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

8/10 Good

"Overall, the place is clean and very comfortable. However, I was very disappointed to find that although we booked a reservation including breakfast, it turned out to just be a snack area with coffee/drinks, a bagel, or fruit. That's not what I'd expect when a reservation includes breakfast. Very disappointing"

Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect hotel! Perfect location, and the staff is very nice. The restaurants are hands down the best."

Grand Hyatt Washington

10/10 Excellent

"This was our third time staying and you have an Awesome team!!!"
