Top National Portrait Gallery Hotel Reviews

Arlo Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Great customer service and area. Nice hotel overall but the rooms are small."

Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"One of the main reasons we selected this Hotel was because of the roof top bar & restaurant. It was closed for a private party all 3 nights of our stay, I guess hotel guess come last. We travel to Washington DC frequently, will tell all my viewers on social media not to stay at this hotel. Very disappointed."

Morrison Clark Historic Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful stay at the Morrison Clark hotel. It is a lovely hotel with valet parking in a great location. Everyone was very friendly and the room was lovely, very spacious with a comfy king size bed, blackout curtains, and good size bathroom. Our room overlooked the cute courtyard which we didn’t have enough time to enjoy however. It was close to metro and only an 8 min walk to the meeting point for our night tour of the monuments. Highly recommend this gem!"

Riggs Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful historic building that had everything we needed for a lovely stay in DC. The staff was very pleasant and helpful and the location was perfect for site-seeing in DC. Within walking distance to thee White House and most of the museums on the national mall. Also close to many great restaurants and the metro and Fords Theater. The Riggs restaurant is also excellent with excellent service. They have a large gym downstairs and many great amenities. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again."

The Henley Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a nice lovely historica hotel. I was at the room 206 and like the space with the desk that seems to be a good zone. Everything is clean, we did not have any breakfast, Hotel staff are friendly and helpful and also help open the door for us, which some hotels do not have anymore as most hotel has automatically door so this reminds me of the old time. The hotel is clean and I love the wall decoration. If we will be back to DC, I recommend this hotel. Good location!"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington D.C. – Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing. This location is very family friendly. They had a crib with clean sheets for my bay to sleep in during our stay. The rooms are very clean. The breakfast was great every morning too. 10 out of 10 every day. I will definitely be coming back next time I’m in town."
