Top L'Enfant Plaza Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was extremely friendly and nice. The restaurant and bar on site was definitely way more than I expected. The food was great and the drinks were perfect. The room was clean and I definitely will be staying again if I’m ever in Washington."

Hilton Washington DC National Mall The Wharf

8/10 Good

"Very good location, staff very helpful"

Hyatt Place Washington DC/National Mall

8/10 Good

"2 stars on maintenance: Shutting the pool down on Labor Day in DC was silly and disappointing (it was 90F in mid Sept). It was disclosed on their web site but still. An elevator wasn't working and apparently hadn't been for a while, causing multiple 5-10 minute waits & stair trips. A little urgency there would have helped. Otherwise EXCELLENT. Great value, good condition, generous and tasty breakfast, nice rooms, and excellent location, walking to the Mall and the Wharf. Friendly staff, The breakfast crew was busting butt with grace to keep tables clean and available. A good fitness room, I'd stay again. Pro tip: Park across the street at 400 Virginia Ave to pay $22 instead of $55 /day."

Residence Inn by Marriott Washington, DC National Mall

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff. Always friendly and accommodating. Very nice lobby and public areas. Was able to check-in early. We had minor issues and they were attended to promptly. Never had a hotel react so quickly before. Breakfast was excellent. We used the breakfast area for carry-in dinner several evenings. Pull out bed was not comfortable though; we used an air mattress we brought with us. Overall would highly recommend."
