Top Discovery Theater Hotel Reviews

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and friendly staff. Great location within walking distance of many bars, restaurants, museums, and the metro line."

Salamander Washington DC

8/10 Good

"I absolutely love the Salamander. For the past two years, every trip to the DMV area requires a stay there. I love the cleanliness of the rooms are comfort of the beds. For the most part, the staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. However, during my most recent stay I requested an amenity for my bath via the test messaging service and never received it. I’m not sure if this was a technology issue or if someone simply dropped the ball. Nevertheless, from now on I will call the front desk with any requests rather than utilize the text messaging service."

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

6/10 Okay

"I booked a room for three nights in this hotel. The first two night I felt cheated the room I was given was small it was one of those adjourning rooms, the vents were extremely dusty, the bathroom mirror had a crusted custard-like stain that would not come off. The floor tiles were cracked and the wall paper was peeling from underneath the sink. Overall the quality of the room they gave me was poor for the first two nights. The shower had this very loud mechanical sound and on the second night I woke up to very loud drilling sound from the adjourning room...loud sounds trigger my migraines so I started having intense headaches. Immediately I entered the room on the first night I requested a transfer they said they had no rooms available; the manager was nice and professional but there was another black girl there that appeared mean and was unbothered. She was the one that gave me that frightful room as if she thought that was what I deserved. If that was the only room I saw in that hotel I would never have though of going back. On the last night I was supposed to stay there after complaining several times the manager put me in a nicer bigger room. It changed my whole perspective of the place. I also have very high regards for the manager who was kind and accommodative. They gave me a $75 room credit. Overall the first two night were dreadful and I felt like I had to endure but the last night was okay."

Holiday Inn Washington Capitol - Natl Mall by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for one night after a concert. The entire facility and room was very clean and well-kept. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We LOVED that there’s a Starbucks right off of the hotel. The only complaint was that there was no shampoo or body wash in the bathroom, the holder where I assume they would have been was broken, which is probably why there was none, but that was minor and didn’t really matter since we only stayed for one night. Would definitely stay here again."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington D.C. – Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Conveniently located in downtown DC. Great pool and rooms! We traveled with six adults and had two rooms. Two adults slept on pullout beds and the others slept in real beds. Bathrooms in each room were immaculate as were the other facilities. They have a cook to order egg/omelette station where they also serve the meat and potatoes of the day and it’s included with your room. We ended up eating in the hotel restaurant both nights and had good (but expensive) meals."
