Top Bethesda Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stay here often. Always pleasant experience. Staff is very courteous and helpful."

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"No frills, but clean, comfortable stay in a fantastic location in Washington DC's chinatown. Huge variety of restaurants nearby (Fresh Baguette for breakfast and Chili Bistro for dinner were great!). The national mall is just a few blocks south; 5 minutes to the National Portrait Gallery, 18 minutes to the Air and Space Museum. Parking was about $27 with validation--be sure to park in the correct garage (one block south) and get the stamp on your card at the hotel."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Bethesda Washington DC

8/10 Good

"We had a plumbing issue with our 1st room & they handled it very quickly and moved us to another room. When we arrived in that room there was only a twin size sheet on our king bed & they rectified it immediately with remaking the bed with fresh linens. We loved the free perks of drinks & snacks during happy hour. As far as breakfast, we were there 3 days & they only had pork meat options which is something we don’t eat & overall they should consider turkey, beef, chicken or vegan options as well."

The Henley Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful property and centrally located. We only stayed one night as a quick bop over from Maryland. We interacted with 7 staff members total during our brief stay and they were all kind and helpful. We especially enjoyed a short friendly chat with the person that checked us in. We forgot a few items and the front desk person cheerfully helped us. The fresh flowers in the lobby were stunning. Initially I was concerned that they may be a musty smell due to the age of the hotel but to my surprise it was one of the cleanest places I’ve experienced and I am particular. We ordered breakfast for our room and it was as expected. The bar and restaurant were nice although we did not experience them beyond breakfast. The water was nice and hot and the bathroom was clean. The robes were a nice touch. We had a lovely view and the couch in our room did not seem worn which made my day! There were both complimentary wake up and bedtime teas. The air was nice and cold and the only noise we experienced was street noise but no noise from inside the hotel itself. The street noise wasn’t a problem as we travel with a white noise machine. All in all very pleasant visit. We will stay again."
