Top National Museum of American History Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC/U.S. Capitol

8/10 Good

"The staff was very friendly and helpful. I had at least brief encounters with desk staff, manager, house keeping, maintenance, bar/restaurant, and security. Everyone was extremely friendly. However my room was not ready when I arrived but I did arrive early. When I came back several hours later after check in time my room was still not ready. After about another hour I was able to get in my room. They did hold my luggage for me and compensate me with a small bag of treats. This minor set back did cause me to miss a schedule event though. All in all a good place to stay in a nice area with plenty of restaurants within walking distance"

Holiday Inn Express Washington DC Downtown by IHG

"This place was very good besides being close to sites in capital area. The rooms were clean and daily breakfast was excellent."

Grand Hyatt Washington

10/10 Excellent

"My daughters and I stayed here for Columbus weekend (college tours!!) and this is an ideal location to be centrally located to any place you’d need to be in DC. There’s a Metro stop BELOW THE HOTEL and it’s so easy to figure out and get around. The hotel was lovely, safe and the gym was amazing. Our train was super delayed and I discovered our fridge didn’t work at 1:15 am but then woman at the front desk was more than happy to keep my daughter’s insulin cold in their fridge! We will definitely be staying here again in the future!"

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown
