Top Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial Hotel Reviews

The Watergate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Outside showing it’s age but room and inside clean and comfortable"

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really good hotel conveniently located a walking distance from all the museums and attractions, that is if you don’t mind walking. There are restaurants, CVS, parks, metro station and bars located in the vicinity. The pool was nice and clean and there were plenty of beach chairs, the outside bar was fully stocked and the drinks were good. The only “issue” I had, even though it’s not really an issue because they’re making the hotel and experience better, is that I missed out on the indoor bar/restaurant because it was under renovation. Missed out on that but it is looking good. I’d definitely recommend it especially if this is your first time in DC. I’d definitely stay again in this hotel and hopefully the indoor bar/restaurant is completed."

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice"

Hilton Washington DC National Mall The Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for metro and walking distance to waterfront and museums and other local attractions! Bar staff very friendly and helpful! Room clean! Breakfast available but expensive! Overall enjoyable stay!"

Hyatt House Washington DC/The Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Had an excellent experience while staying there. The staff were pleasant and professional especially the staff’s hospitality during breakfast. I would highly recommend"

State Plaza Hotel

"Nice little hotel in the middle of everything."

10/10 Excellent

"Everything you could hope for"

InterContinental Washington D.C. - The Wharf by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I have stayed at several InterContinental properties, and our recent stay at your hotel was by far one of the best experiences we have had. What made our visit truly exceptional was your staff. Everyone was remarkably attentive and consistently ensured all of our needs were met."

Hotel Lombardy

8/10 Good

"This is a nicely maintained historic hotel in a good location. We were surprised to have a kitchenette, sitting area, and dressing table area in our room. It was comfortable and roomy for the two of us. The lighting was quite dim in some areas. They could stand to use some stronger lightbulbs in the dressing table area which as pretty useless for applying make-up. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. The bus stop is located less than a block away, and was very convenient for getting into the Smithsonian area on bus 10. It is simple to use and inexpensive at $2.25 per trip, paid with a credit card using Tap-to-Pay. Couldn’t have been easier."
