Top Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial Hotel Reviews

Hotel Washington

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel in a great location! The rooftop bar/restaurant is an highlight for the views. All of the staff are extremely professional, friendly and helpful. I’m not keen on the resort fee, but I appreciate this has become the norm in the US and this hotel has a better offering than many other hotels. I would definitely stay again."

State Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Easy walking to most places"

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

8/10 Good

"It was a nice experience."

InterContinental Washington D.C. - The Wharf by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Teddy is the reason my family will be coming back—and why I’ll recommend the InterContinental at The Wharf to anyone visiting the area. The hotel is lovely and convenient, the rooms spacious and clean, and the staff warm and helpful. But Teddy took hospitality to another level. My kids came back from an epic concert STARVING at 11:30 on a Sunday night. I shuffled down to the lobby in my pajamas, hoping to find a bag of chips or something to keep the teenagers alive until morning. I found Teddy and asked if he knew anywhere I could still get food. He said, “Pizza and pasta okay? Follow me. I’ll take you to where we go.” And he did! He walked me down the block to a lively Italian place I never would have found on my own, went inside, and made sure they would take care of me. Then he disappeared back into the night like the angel he was. Within 15 minutes, I was back at the hotel with pizzas. I’d never been to The Wharf and had no idea where I was or what might still be open. Teddy could have simply pointed me in a direction. Instead, he immediately took it upon himself to solve my problem and literally walked me to the solution. That is hospitality. The beautiful hotel may have gotten us there the first time. Teddy is the reason we’ll come back."

The River Inn

10/10 Excellent

Hilton Washington DC National Mall The Wharf
