Top National Children’s Museum Hotel Reviews

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel and helpful and professional staff. My two concerns were the fact that we had no hot water when we got back to our room the night before we had to wake up at 3am for our flight. So at 10pm we called the front desk to fix it. About 30 minutes later a maintenence man came to fix it and said we should have hot water in 30 minutes. Needless to say, an hour later there was still no hot water. Even at 3am, there was still not hot water. Also the outlets were loose, so our phone chargers would not stay plugged in, so we had to use items to prop up our chargers in order to get a full charge. For a higher end hotel, I would not expect to have these headaches."

Hotel Lombardy

10/10 Excellent

"My daughter and I went to Hotel Lombardy for 4 nights and the staff is TOP TIER. Everyone is so helpful and needs a raise! Patrick at the front desk was so kind and we CANNOT say enough positive things about Mohammed the waiter in The café. He will forever be apart of memories about DC. The only thing I can think of that was a down side was they have small kitchenettes but no utensils in them?! It’s sad because we brought food and wanted to eat it but couldn’t until the next day because there was no utensils and same thing no coffee pots or microwaves in the room. Switch is sad especially when you have food from their own café and can’t warm it. But overall it was clean and a wonderful experience there I would still recommend it to others BUT would definitely warn them about the kitchenettes."

JW Marriott Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"The stare was great and helpful. The front desk staff especially the lady who checked us in and a gentleman named Lucas. The room was a little smaller than I expected and a little dated, but it was very clean and well maintained. The bathroom was clean and nice. The price was very very reasonable for such a nice hotel. Plus they gave us 2 complementary old town trolley tickets and some food credit. The lobby is beautiful and the restaurant their avenue grill has great food we had the mussels and the kids had several items from the kids’ menu that they loved. All in all… great hotel and staff with a very good location. Close to the national mall, museums and 2 blocks away from the Whitehorse."
