Top National Geographic Society Hotel Reviews

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown

8/10 Good

"Hotel was nice and near Chinatown. However, it was in a busy area so a lot of hustle and bustle. It was near a metro stop so there were a good amount of unhoused inidivudals hanging around the area."

Washington Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall, my experience at the hotel was very good. I only have four suggestions/complaints: 1. Windows should be replaced with noise canceling ones, at least in the first two or three floors. 2. Breakfast only offers a la carte menu, not convenient for guests who prefer a quick in-out. 3. Hot water in the shower takes a little longer that usual and at times turns cold while showering. 4. The A/C thermostat took a little too long to restart and the room got a little too warm for my taste."

Capital Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff , super useful location, great place for breakfast downstairs. All team was so helpful!"

The Architect

8/10 Good

"Small room but very clean. Walking distance to national mall. Need better pillows."

The Westin DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Unexpected fees but otherwise nice"

The Jefferson, Washington, DC

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful experience at The Jefferson. Beautiful hotel. The room was spacious and exceptionally clean. Best shower with incredible water pressure! We had dinner at The Greenhouse and breakfast several days. The food and service were excellent! Can’t say enough wonderful things about this hotel."
