Top National Defense University Hotel Reviews

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"We got an early check in for our clean comfortable room. Our only issue was at night - even with the fan on high - the room got stuffy. The breakfast was great - lots of variety and fresh. We loved the location, only a few blocks from the mall and a bit longer to the wharf."

InterContinental Washington D.C. - The Wharf by IHG

8/10 Good

"Only gripe I had (and I repeated this to staff who initially gave the impression that this was a temporary hiccup, but I learned at checkout this is a recurring problem), was the lack of streaming service accessibility for the television. There was only live/local tv available at the property and I had planned to stream musicals and binge watch tv during my 4-night destress/getaway/staycation trip from my paid streaming apps, which I utimately had to watch on my phone and tablet. It would have been nice to have been offered a beverage credit for the bar or room service for example, to compensate as a goodwill gesture. Otherwise, it was a nice stay and the staff were nice. Used the gym, pool area for yoga, and Juliette balcony room was small but nice. Location was perfect in the middle of the wharf!"

Hampton Inn & Suites Washington DC-Navy Yard

10/10 Excellent

"This place was great. Even though we just stayed here one night, my family and I had no issues. Breakfast was good and the most important of our stay was that I was able to do laundry in your laundry facility. We are on a road trip and this was perfect. Staff were great too. My only complaint was the parking. No parking anywhere so you have no choice but to get their valet parking. One night was $60 plus tax. $70. To much for my opinion."
