Top Smithsonian Institution Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Washington DC/The Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful staff clean comfy rooms and the views!!!"

Arlo Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best city hotels I've stayed at. The property was very clean, the amenities were excellent, and the rooms were spacious (knowing city hotels are usually very small). One feature I especially appreciated was the ability to text the front desk. I accidentally left my "Do Not Disturb" sign on, and they texted to check whether it was intentional so they could clean my room if needed. That level of attentiveness really showed how much they prioritize both guest service and cleanliness. The hotel is also about a five-minute walk to the metro, and Ubers to all the major tourist attractions were inexpensive. I would definitely stay here again."

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for a business convention at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center at 801 Allen Y. Lew Place NW. It's an easy walk (other than the summer heat) and this hotel has all of the necessary amenities. As I understand it, this hotel also has the only "actual" swimming pool in all DC hotels with a deep end reaching 7 feet deep. I had a wonderful stay here and very pleasant check-in experience! I highly recommend this hotel!"

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great stay. Very different feel to other hotels, mire focus on you controlling things how you liked it. Clean property and rooms were very clean too. Convenient hotel location that is just a short walk from the Metro, Safeway and some good eating options. The breakfast is great and when you interact with the staff its always pleasant. Check in and check out if seamless."

Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill

10/10 Excellent

"In many, many years of travel or any customer service in general for that matter have I experienced such a great experience! No product has not matched this level of hospitality and service that was provided by this Hyatt Regency!!! And for the number of people they were taking care of, what a phenomenal job!!! Well done! Not once did we hear I’m sorry we are understaffed, not once did we hear, I’m sorry we don’t provide that! All staff members went over and above to make sure everyone was taken care of. After long hot days, serving slushies and red, white and blue popsicles. Water stations and bottled provided round the clock to make sure all stayed hydrated. Toy chest for kiddos and much more! Cleaning all the time to keep up and keep as tidy as possible. Seriously, I can’t overstate how wonderful of an experience our stay was. July 4 th and Americas 250 year celebration was extraordinary special and the Hyatt Regency went out of their way to participate in the nations spirit and celebration. At 2 am the staff was waiting for many folks to return hot, exhausted, and thirsty. The water stations were in abundance and staff walking around serving fresh cookies on trays was a special touch! Thank you Hyatt and staff for taking pride in your jobs! God Bless America!"
