Top George Washington University Hotel Reviews

State Plaza Hotel

State Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This was our first time staying over in D.C., and the staff was very helpful. The desk manager upgraded our reservation, so we had a kitchen. He also moved us to the other side of the building, so we were closer to George Washington University since we planned to walk. Parking is expensive at the hotel but he helped us find a garage two blocks away for less. The parking attendant at the hotel was extremely helpful as well. Very comfortable stay, surprisingly quiet and close to George Washington University. Special thanks to the great staff. We look forward to our next stay."

8/10 Good
"Unfortunately, despite paying for and getting an “upgraded” room with river views, the desk looked damaged (old water damage), and the toilet roll holder was broken after the cleaning crew did their regular cleaning. The staff was wonderful, the food and service amazing, and in general the stay was fantastic, but was disappointed to see unappealing details such as the aforementioned ones."
