Top National Museum of American History Hotel Reviews

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were excellent, the view of the park was beautiful, and the food at the restaurant on the ground level was great. "

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"This is a unique hotel with a lot of fun, funky character. PROS: The ambiance was unique and enjoyable throughout the stay. The technology in the rooms is impressive. The bed was spacious and comfortable. Fun design and a very different room layout than at most hotels. Sushi restaurant and bar were both excellent. CONS: The sink was outside of the room with the toilet and the shower and the shower area was a little cramped. While you're not far from anywhere, it is still about a 10 minute walk *to* anywhere."

Holiday Inn Washington Capitol - Natl Mall by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed for 7 nights between Christmas and Net Years. The staff were all extremely professional and very kind! The concierge was so friendly I felt like we had made a new friend. The rooms were clean and well stocked. The hotel was in the perfect Place to walk to the Smithsonian museums. The breakfast buffet had a large assortment of hot and cold foods each morning. Our suitcase broke in the flight to DC and it was no problem for me to have another one sent to the hotel from Amazon. I don't write reviews often but this hotel. Especially the staff, really stood out. I would highly recommend this hotel!"
