Top National Museum of American History Hotel Reviews

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Clean efficient room! Plenty of space to store your stuff and get some rest. Quiet building, good location to stadium. Thomas at the front desk was extremely helpful with getting us all checked in and giving us all the info on the hotel. Thanks!"

Arlo Washington DC

8/10 Good

"All was wonderful with our stay except at 11 ish pm we had a maintenance person banging on something in the room where the microwave and ice machine were. He was in a separate door/room from the microwave room and came out and scared us sweating and apologizing and finally the pounding stopped. Other than that the stay was great!"

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

8/10 Good

"Great location. Rooms had paper thin walls and you could hear every word of your neighbors. Not sure I would count the gym as a gym."

Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"The restaurants are excellent, especially the Vue roof top bar/restaurant... the rooms are updated, clean, and well equipped. Room service was the best I've ever had. Hyper prompt, delivered fast while the food is still hot. I lost my ID and maintenance staff found it almost immediately, which was incredible to say the least.... 10/10 would recommend."

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk staff has an incredible gift for hospitality. Sabrina was so warm and welcoming to me and every guest. The location is good, the room and bathroom were a little tired - the owners could invest some money on the asset and take care of that front desk staff! They are what make the hotel great."
