Top National Children’s Museum Hotel Reviews

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The room was amazing, the smaller space is made up for by being much higher quality than other hotels I’ve stayed at. Also the free-drink I got, a Peach Red Bull, really made the check-out that much better."

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"El diseño y cómo está estructurado fue algo diferente! Buen servicio y amabilidad siempre!"

Morrison Clark Historic Inn

10/10 Excellent

"fantastic."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington D.C. – Convention Center

8/10 Good

"When we arrived at 11:15 the person checking us in said I have good news and bad news. We have quite a few rooms ready, but if you want to check in now you have to pay $120. In all my years as an avid traveler I have never been asked to pay when my room is available. It has always been considered good customer service to maybe provide a customer perk that brings a customer back to your hotel. We had been traveling with 2 small children and I can tell you I will not be retuning to this hotel in the future. To add insult to injury I am a Hilton member."
