Top National Museum of American History Hotel Reviews

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, hotel in a convenient location right next to the metro and bus stops and the staff was super friendly. Small mixup getting a room when I arrived (at 2am), but the receptionist got it cleared up and I was very grateful. Great location, and good for solo travelers"

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was awesome! Everything clean and vibes were on point. Only thing is the sandbars game in the lobby could use some TLC"

The Henley Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Helpful staff. Good food."

State Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location to the main areas of attraction and the metro was excellent. The desk staff and housekeepers were efficient, polite, and professional. We arrived early, but there was a room available, so we were able to settle in at that time. We booked a king bed without kitchen; we got a double queen with kitchen. That was fine with us. The room was a bit outdated but clean; the shower had some mold but not a deal breaker. The room was located near the front desk, elevator, and stairs, so it was a bit noisy at times, however, we were out most of the day. We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant one night and the food was delicious. There aren’t many dine-in restaurants within a half mile walk of the hotel. Circa, near the Foggy Bottom metro, was excellent. We would stay the hotel again."

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"Es un 10/10. La ubicación es ideal. El hotel es moderno, con bar, zonas comunes con mucha onda. Tiene un restó de sushi con terraza espectacular, con vista al Capitolio. La habitación impecable, moderna aunque chiquita, pero muy tecnológico todo. Elegiría este hotel si volviera. El personal muy amable."

Grand Hyatt Washington

8/10 Good

"I would have liked a heads up on construction that is happening and entrance to use. Also would be nice if room had some drinkware available for use while in room. The credit provided was not used as only in for the night. We already had dinner plans and checkin/checkout time did not align with our stay. The snacks available were very limiting."

Hilton Washington DC National Mall The Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay!"

JW Marriott Washington DC

8/10 Good

"The distance to everything we wanted or needed to do was great!"

Holiday Inn Washington Capitol - Natl Mall by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was great. The manager was very kind and helpful. I can’t hear was one of the best I’ve ever seen or used in all my travels. He was friendly, helpful, joyful, and always there to help with good information and places to go see."
