Top Smithsonian American Art Museum Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente tido"

Riggs Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Shoutout to Brian from the cafe. Julia from the front desk and Mr DC. Everyone was excellent. My view of the museum was perfect! Food was wonderful. Grab a drink at the Silver Lyan if you get a chance. Very accommodating and solid location—close to everything. Thank you!!"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Washington, DC/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We love staying here. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. Easy check in. Everything is .clean and tidy. The location is convenient . Breakfast buffet is popular with everyone. Adjacent is a great Irish pub. Outstanding food and the owners and staff are great. We recommend this location to all of our family and friends. Excellent experience all around."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Room amazing. Staff outstanding, specially Mike G front desk. Breakfast very good. Walking distance to many great points and eating places."

Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was wonderful, the rooftop bar is really something to experience. Staff could not have been nicer. Property is beautiful, the room was great. Only Cons: — We must have accidentally booked a mobility accessible room and it did not have a tub. The issue was that the design of the shower made water leak out halfway through the bathroom floor. So we had to put towels down to create a barrier. —The rooms come within an espresso machine, instead of a regular coffee maker, but there’s no instructions on how to use it so I had to look up a YouTube video. Espresso is fancy, but I think most people would prefer a normal cup of coffee. —My husband was charged $5 for a Coke at the restaurant and then another $5 when it was refilled. So that was a bit meh. But otherwise was just a phenomenal location and the price was great! Walking distance to Old Ebbitt Grill and Hamilton. You can walk in heels to both those locations. Hotel is close to so so much if you are sightseeing! Also, if you do the Old Town Trolley tour, one of the stops is right around the corner from the hotel. And the old fashioned cars tours also pick up right there by the front of the hotel. It’s really a perfect place if you are a tourist!"

Arlo Washington DC

8/10 Good

"Our one night stay at Arlo was perfect as for the location. The room size was adequate and clean. It was good experience would use this hotel again definitely."
