Top Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial Hotel Reviews

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I loved everything about my stay at the Moxy Hotel! But what I loved the most was the staff—they were truly the best. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. They made me feel right at home and brought such great energy throughout my entire stay. The hotel itself was fun, comfortable, and had such a great vibe, but the people are definitely what made the experience so special. I would absolutely stay here again! ❤️"

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay. Food and drink were great and prices reasonable. Highly recommend!"

Hyatt House Washington DC/The Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast very friendly and professional staff"

Hotel Hive

8/10 Good

"The shower had very low water pressure and was very basic."

Hilton Washington DC National Mall The Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient to metro and walkable to many museums. Room and accommodations were comfortable. Would stay again."

The Watergate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. My only suggestion is that - sadly the pastry nook is closed. There isnt an option for a coffee bar complimentary. I had to get coffee from the restaurant for my partner when he was sick- I bought two coffees so he would not have to make a trip and it was over $20 for a couple of coffees (I got one). I was like - this is kinda silly. And parking valet is the only option if not on the street parking and that is $65 a night. So it was wonderful but - it would be great if those little things were complimentary. The food was good at the restaurant. Not great but good. The best thing besides the view from our room - was the staff is very good. Everyone is VERY good. Maybe I could say - they are great. The lady who checked us in - the cleaning team- anyone I asked for anything - the doormen (doorpeople) - the people in the restaurant and bars. Very good staff. The hotel is a little "dated" but I hope it stays kinda retro because it is a historic hotel. I just hope they somehow do something even if they have to add $20 a night to the rooms - to have the valet parking be free and give the visitors a free coffee barn downstairs. My room only had one coffee cup and no milk so making coffee in the room did not work."
