Top L'Enfant Plaza Hotel Reviews

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was awesome! Everything clean and vibes were on point. Only thing is the sandbars game in the lobby could use some TLC"

State Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location to the main areas of attraction and the metro was excellent. The desk staff and housekeepers were efficient, polite, and professional. We arrived early, but there was a room available, so we were able to settle in at that time. We booked a king bed without kitchen; we got a double queen with kitchen. That was fine with us. The room was a bit outdated but clean; the shower had some mold but not a deal breaker. The room was located near the front desk, elevator, and stairs, so it was a bit noisy at times, however, we were out most of the day. We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant one night and the food was delicious. There aren’t many dine-in restaurants within a half mile walk of the hotel. Circa, near the Foggy Bottom metro, was excellent. We would stay the hotel again."

Residence Inn by Marriott Washington, DC National Mall

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff. Always friendly and accommodating. Very nice lobby and public areas. Was able to check-in early. We had minor issues and they were attended to promptly. Never had a hotel react so quickly before. Breakfast was excellent. We used the breakfast area for carry-in dinner several evenings. Pull out bed was not comfortable though; we used an air mattress we brought with us. Overall would highly recommend."

Hyatt Place Washington DC/National Mall

8/10 Good

"The front desk staff, along with the very casual dining and breakfast on the third floor was excellent. The roof top dining and bar that was also casual, service was terrible. When we got off the elevator a person leaving said good luck trying to get a drink. They were right, after 15 minutes of not being able to get a meal order in at the bar, we left. We had 2 dinners from the 3rd floor restaurant, the second night dinner was good food from plastic containers in our room because they had an event. We walked 7 miles total from the hotel taking in 2 monuments and two National Museums that were great. Parking around town seemed challenging and expensive, so we left the car at the hotel at $55 per night. Having one of the 3 elevator out, added to wait times and packed elevators. Restaurants a mile away along the river may of been a better option? The Washington attraction area’s have greatly improved over the past year and are very clean and safe."

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"Es un 10/10. La ubicación es ideal. El hotel es moderno, con bar, zonas comunes con mucha onda. Tiene un restó de sushi con terraza espectacular, con vista al Capitolio. La habitación impecable, moderna aunque chiquita, pero muy tecnológico todo. Elegiría este hotel si volviera. El personal muy amable."

Hilton Washington DC National Mall The Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay!"

JW Marriott Washington DC

8/10 Good

"The distance to everything we wanted or needed to do was great!"

Holiday Inn Washington Capitol - Natl Mall by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was great. The manager was very kind and helpful. I can’t hear was one of the best I’ve ever seen or used in all my travels. He was friendly, helpful, joyful, and always there to help with good information and places to go see."
