Top National Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Always my favorite place to be"

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for 1 week: PROS-Staff was incredibly nice and helpful. Our showerhead was not working right (either cold or hot water, nothing in-between). Front desk called maintenance who had it fixed in an hour (they also offered us a new room, but we stayed put); Housecleaning stage very nice & responsive. Restaurant food was good and very affordable (compared to California); Great A/C, CONS-Lounge was closed for remodeling; some towels left a lot of lint; No Bluetooth on TV."

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"This place is designed for people who just need a place to sleep. Smaller rooms. The rooms are as wide as a the length of the bed. My only issue with it is the toilet shares spaced with the shower. And its only slightly larger than an RV shower and toilet. Its also just frosted glass. So it could get embarrassing if you had taco bell for lunch. Also there is no lock on these glass doors and they did not close all the way. Thats it, thats the only bad things about this place. But everything else is awesome, highly recommend for single travelers and couples who dont plan on staying in the room other than to sleep."
