Top Smithsonian American Art Museum Hotel Reviews

Arlo Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Great check in. Friendly staff, nice large gym. Great Spanish tapas on the hotel as other regular fare. Good location-parking lot across the stress that doesn’t try to gauge you. Tata coffee and Japanese food court nearby."

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time there. Staff was helpful and friendly! We were several hours early and they let us check in around 11am even though check in time was 3pm. We were able to keep our car there in their private underground parking garage as soon as we arrived which was around 6am as we explored the city and got breakfast for a few hours. Overnight parking there was $45. The pool, gym, and lobby was well kept, clean, and organized. The room was clean, and spacious. They greeted us when entering and leaving the hotel and were overall just a pleasant group of people who tried to make our stay comfortable and inviting. The location was nice as well, and within walking distance to all the major sites. We would definitely go back again!"

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown

8/10 Good

"Clean and up to date. Although the bed was a bunkbed, mattress was extremely comfortable as were the pillows. Even smaller than I expected although the bathroom had ample room compared to the bedroom. Too expensive for room size. But a perfect location to the great Penn Quarter restaurants, Smithsonian Portrait and National Art Museums, both Shakespeare Theatres and immediately across the street from the Metro which provides great access to the entire city. Short ride to the Amtrak Union Station."
