Top Smithsonian American Art Museum Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"the hotel was under renovation"

Hotel Washington

8/10 Good

"I liked the room; nice to have a Nespresso machine. Bathroom was kind of funky - semi-opaque walls showed silhouette of person in shower. Rooftop bar overlooking White House and Washington monument was nice but cost $70 for 3 drinks. I really did not like the loud party music in the lobby. There was no quiet place to work, talk or make a phone call. Maybe this was done to drive people out of the lobby! Almost no one sitting there. Hotel location was great. I’ll try another hotel next time. Bed was comfortable. My wife was disappointed by the change in environment from a warm & friendly lobby to one that was stark and seemed to drive us out. Staff was friendly once you found them. Didn’t try meals."

Arlo Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I spent five days in Washington DC to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. This hotel was absolutely perfect for our purpose. The rooms were clean and modern and the rooftop event they had the evening of the Fourth of July was a lot fun. All staff members were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again. The hotel is only half a mile from the Washington monument. Loved the location!"
