Top National Children’s Museum Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Con: no microwave, small room"

Arlo Washington DC

8/10 Good

"Rooms OK. Breakfast is generous. Swimming pool is OK but small and easily crowded. Well located. Overall an OK stay."

Conrad Washington, DC

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, Clean facilities"

Morrison Clark Historic Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at the Morrison hotel. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff was very helpful and were always friendly. The rooms are very spacious, especially as DC standards go. The location is great and very walkable as well. We will definitely be back!"

The Henley Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really nice stay - property very clean and generally nicely appointed. Furnishings in the room a bit bizarre. No desk, dresser or refrigerator in my 'Superior King Room' - and there was plenty of room to have one or the other. Some of the lesser rooms did have desks, strangely. Not so comfortable to work on the small crowded round table provided. They did bring in a refrigerator on request. Would stay there again. 4.5 stars."

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was perfect, and the price was excellent. The hotel was quiet and clean… HOWEVER, I am convinced that police, ambulance, and fire truck sirens are an all-day and all-night occurrence around here. 😂🚔🚑🚒"

Riggs Washington DC
