Top National Defense University Hotel Reviews

Salamander Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here a few nights- it’s been awesome experience- clean and great views—"

Washington Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"It is within walking distance of the tourist attractions. It must have been a luxury hotel years ago, but it could use more updates, such as USB charging ports, reducing the constant noise from the elevators for rooms located near them, and better sound insulation from people talking downstairs if you are on the second floor."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Washington DC Capitol-Navy Yard

10/10 Excellent

"We visited DC with grandkids (2 suites) and this location was ideal for families. The breakfast had a great variety, even picky eaters were happy. It was the best way to start our (very) long days. TBH, I was a bit concerned with recent news of teen gatherings nearby, but did not find it was a problem. Lots of law enforcement. Subway is convenient across the street and a quick trip to major DC attractions. Parking was expensive but parking is expensive everywhere. The valet was quick and easy. I will definitely be back."
