Top Folger Shakespeare Library Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is older but in great shape. The plus to staying here is location and the staff. The front desk staff were incredible and very friendly. They were very helpful. The restaurant staff were friendly and the best employee of all was the bartender Sharda. Absolutely amazing. I will stay here again."

Arlo Washington DC

8/10 Good

"Our one night stay at Arlo was perfect as for the location. The room size was adequate and clean. It was good experience would use this hotel again definitely."

8/10 Good

"The location is great and the coffee station in the hall is nice, but having a coffee machine in the room is better"

Phoenix Park Hotel

"It was nice and clean. The restaurant below was good but made the lobby smell like fish. The bathroom didn’t vent well so it was overly hot/humid after a shower."

10/10 Excellent

"The Hamilton Hotel was great. The staff was fantastic, friendly, and welcoming. The location was excellent within close proximity to the major tourist attractions, restaurants, and bars. It was a perfect location for exploring the city."

The Henley Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and filled with plenty of amenities. The staff was very helpful and accommodating of my bags being left after check out so I could see a few more sites before my flight left. I did not use the hotels dining facilities after the first evening trying to have dinner on property after a long days travel. A mouse ran right across the room between me and another guest. It probably was a one off, but it just left me "shook". I ordered uber eats for rest of my stay. I still recommend staying here, as the staff, location and the historical property is amazing!"
