Top National Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

Morrison Clark Historic Inn

8/10 Good

"Very cute place, lovely and friendly staff. Great location"

Washington Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"we had a nice visit to the hotel. Front staff was great. Very professional. We never used the pool, but everyone else seemed to love it. We ate in the hotel restaurant a few times, and the food was ok, service good have been better, but it was also ok. Overall, was a good stay, and would stay there again."

Hotel Washington

8/10 Good

"This is a phenomenal hotel. From the staff, to the rooms, amenities, everything is 5 stars in that department. Even its location is amazing and in walking distance of the White House and many top tier restaurants. The restaurants on site are amazing too. I will say these rooms are great for 2, but this is probably not a hotel for larger families as they might be on the smaller size. My only complaint about this hotel was on Friday and Saturday there is a rooftop bar and the music doesn’t turn off until about 230AM. So while I stayed there for a week, my worst sleep was on Friday and Saturday night. Otherwise fantastic."
