Top National Museum of American History Hotel Reviews

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

8/10 Good

"Very helpful staff and great location. Rooms are a bit older so the carpet needs a thorough cleaning, but everything else including the bathroom was very nice."

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and nice"

Waldorf Astoria Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"First class best location"

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

8/10 Good

"We stayed at this hotel on a Saturday night. The location was amazing, literally right next to the Metro station, and the hotel was nice overall. We had a nice view of Farragut park from our 9th floor room. The walls and windows didn't seem to keep out much noise, we did hear sirens and people talking in the hallway and next room through the night. To know if you go - the parking garage is about a block and a half away from the actual hotel, and cost $36. I thought I had selected only hotels with breakfast included, but they do not have any breakfast available, just a discount at a nearby cafe. The staff seemed friendly enough, but when I tried to check in, they referred us to the self check in even though they weren't helping anyone else. They did help the next people who came in though, which was how I found out there was no breakfast available. The rooms seemed pretty clean, but we did find some random items on the carpet, looked like pieces from a broken pen. Overall, I would recommend this hotel because of the great location and reasonable cost."
