Top National Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Small room but excellent room"

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very clean. The room I was in was a little small but it was ok as I was only staying one night. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The only flaw is the parking. They do have valet parking that’s a little pricy and they use a garage that is not a far walk and you do get a discount. Also it’s walking distance to some museums, stores and pharmacy if needed. I would stay again."

Riggs Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"The Riggs is a beautiful, luxurious property that's perfectly located for walking to museums and sites. The staff are amazing - kind and engaging, and always on hand to assist in any way. The rooms are beautiful with upscale amenities and very, very comfortable beds. The on-site restaurant offers unique, delicious plates for appetizers and meals. Super clean, amazing architecture and upscale amenities make this a definite return!"
