Top National Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

Hotel Washington

8/10 Good

"Clean, beautiful, well located! I paid for 3 supposedly similar rooms-2 had a nice view and had much more room than the 3rd room, which essentially looked at a brick wall. We had requested weeks in advance to be near each other but unfortunately for some reason they were not able to accommodate that request."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington D.C. – Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone at this hotel was amazing! The breakfast and happy hour was great, they gave 2 alcoholic drink vouchers for over 21 years old and unlimited snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. The indoor pool was warm though tiny and the towels are the size of hand towels."

JW Marriott Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk Agent Layla did a wonderful job upgrading my room complimentary to the 12th floor with a balcony for my woman’s birthday and she was very pleased, although she did request for food and beverage to place a complimentary bottle of champagne however their system was down so we did not receive that but I did make a point to give her my gratitude when I saw her in the morning and I thanked her for her wonderful customer service and for going above and beyond to help me make my woman’s birthday special."

Hotel Lombardy

10/10 Excellent

"I cannot say enough good things about Hotel Lombardy! My kids and I had an early arrival time on Friday. We went straight to the airport just to pre-check in and drop our bags. However, we were pleasantly surprised when they said our room was already ready!! At 9:00 am! Every staff member we came in contact with was kind, helpful and friendly. The location was great— walking distance to restaurants and honestly a really easy walk to the White House! I highly recommend this hotel. Spacious room, beautiful, historic charm… it was perfect!"

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are small - great for solo traveler - but sink area and lighting is a little challenging when getting ready. Everything (lights, tv, blinds) runs via iPad - mine quit working on the last day. That being said, this will still be my go to hotel when I travel again! Restaurant options in the hotel was welcomed after long days - staff all very friendly"
