Top National Geographic Museum Hotel Reviews

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

8/10 Good

"Great location for a stay when you plan to go out and do things. This is not a stay in your room type hotel unless it’s for sleeping or showering. My only critical feedback is I believe this may be a green building, and the AC was not sufficient for DC temperatures. We were able to make it work, but if you need it cool for sleep this may not be the place. Otherwise, the staff was friendly and personable, and it worked for our short 1 night stay."

The Darcy Hotel

8/10 Good

"It is about an average hotel. Windows can open which I liked Staff was most helpful"

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location Clean/comfortable Easy check in/out Friendly Staff Purified water stations with disposable water bottles throughout. Only concern some people may have, which was certainly no concern to me, if you are a light steeper and late to rise, outside noise of the city and police activity due to close proximity of the White House may affect you. Highly recommend and will stay again!"

Tempo By Hilton Washington Dc Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Mohammed at the front desk was very helpful. Great service and great place to stay"

District Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location & close to all the major sites of DC. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Staff members were very friendly. Room had air conditioning which was very much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again!"
