Top National Museum of American History Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed in this hotel multiple times and I keep coming back because the location is excellent: the McPherson Square metro station is about 15 minutes walk but the bus stop is right next to the hotel. Checking in was easy and the front desk agent (John) was extremely professional, and he also helped us find restaurants. In my traveling companion’s room there was an issue that we addressed and they fixed it by the time we returned from our trip. They recently renovated the lobby and it is beautiful - I’m hoping they will start renovating the rooms as well as they’re a little outdated. No issues with cleanliness, there’s a coffee/tea maker and a mini fridge in the room and they provided 2 bottles of water and coffee/tea. Housekeeping kept refilling what needed. If you have a car and want to use their garage, that would be an extra charge (I believe it was $50/night). Breakfast is $18/person. When we checked out we asked to store our luggage in their storage and they did accommodate it. I highly recommend this hotel for those who do looking for a nice hotel experience and enjoy what DC can offer."

Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

Hilton Washington DC National Mall The Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Najm at the front desk went over the top to make our stay wonderful. Each day he helped us decide what sights to see and drew it out on the map. Every time he saw us within the hotel lobby he waved and asked how our day was. The full breakfast was delicious and a little different each day. The staff was attentive and the restaurant and buffet area were spotless. The room was clean and comfy. The staff made up our room in a timely manner. Overall a wonderful stay!"
