Top National Children’s Museum Hotel Reviews

Eaton DC

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel close to the White House and other attractions. A few negatives were the price of an American spritz at the rooftop bar of $22 and $67 for overnight parking per night. And if you’re going to places like the wharf or even Georgetown, taking an Uber or Lyft is preferred over driving."

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I love the DC Moxy… it’s a fantastic place to stay and everyone that works there so incredibly nice!✨"

The Henley Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"It’s nice to see an Historic hotel still vibrant in downtown DC. I like the feel of the place. With that said it’s missing a lot of hotel amenities I’ve gotten used to….from a refrigerator in your room, a dresser for your clothes , a bottled water or two and an ice machine in the hallway. There were a lot of conveniences missing. Then there’s $59 a day for valet parking ….unless you were fortunate enough to find a spot on the street. I would shop around a little bit and read the amenities before choosing so you’re not disappointed."

The Westin DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Comfortable beds and nice, helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again!"

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and better than Hamilton"

Hotel Washington

8/10 Good

"Courtyard view room, decent size, but no luggage stand, no desk. Bathroom was very small, nowhere to store bath accessories. The shower was good - water pressure like a fire hydrant. A lot of good things, but a few small disappointments. Overall, I would recommend."

Arlo Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Love the super helpful and cheery staff. Clean, quiet, well appointed rooms right in the heart of DC. Nearby parking isn’t ridiculously expensive. Will be staying here again and again."

State Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great spacious room and very clean"

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel. Good location for concerts at capital one arena."
