Top Washington Hotel Reviews

Morrison Clark Historic Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Was not familiar with this hotel previously but they were top notch from check in through check out. The little details were much appreciated. For example - when we checked out we left two bags with the bell hop while we grabbed coffee down the street. Not only was our valeted car ready when we returned but he had put our bags in the car for us. Would definitely stay here again."

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and lovely lemongrass aroma throughout. The double beds were comfy and room is spacious. The Park on 14th is diagnolly across the street and there is a garage around the corner for $20-30/day."

Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC/U.S. Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"I would definitely come back for a stay. I came for a quick staycation and loved it. The staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean and noise is non-existent. Walkable restaurants and Harris Teeter at the end of the block. If you are ever in the Washington , D.C. area this hotel will not disappoint."

The Beacon at Embassy Row, WorldHotels Distinctive

8/10 Good

"The hotel was under renovation so I don’t think it’s fair to judge it completely BUT the renovated hotel room I stayed in was super nice and lush. I didn’t drive so no comments on parking. The bed was my favorite part and the view of the city was amazing. Very walkable as well."

Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing, we had dinner at Vue rooftop. Manny, our server, was amazing and so personable. The room was gorgeous and extremely clean through and through. Marina maintained our room and she was so helpful, accommodating and great. Guest Servives is fast and accommodating as well. Every staff we encountered went above and beyond to provide an upscale experience."

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. The communal areas have recently been updated and were immaculate. The staff were lovely and helpful, and housekeeping turned around the room every day"

The Henley Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Wasn’t instructed on where to park so I parked in public parking and then when I checked in, I was informed about the parking situation…valet parking and come and go as much as you want."

Hyatt Centric Arlington

10/10 Excellent

"It was wonderful"
