Top National Children’s Museum Hotel Reviews

The Darcy Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, very walkable!"

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

8/10 Good

"The staff was very helpful and hospitable. The room was cozy (they are small but that's the point) and clean with a lovely shower. The free drink token at the start of the stay was a nice touch. It's located in a busy part of town and there is no shortage of spots to check out nearby. The only issue I had was at check in they were having problems with a new POS/booking system and it took forever to get me checked in. Management should have provided the staff better training or resources available while they settled into their new system."
