Top Kensington Hotel Reviews

Omni Shoreham Hotel Washington DC

8/10 Good

"It was a beautiful place. A few little glitches. Our fridge didn’t work and we didn’t know until all our food was ruined. They brought a new one but juts dropped it off on the floor. The safe didn’t work and the bathroom vent didn’t work so you had to wait to get ready when the mirror de fogged. The tone had what looked like decal material stains or blood all over the back of it."

State Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I liked everything and felt it was very nice experience although it was only for one night! The only think that I wanted to draw the attention to was the smoking odor in the room! I checked in, called the front desk to let them know there is a smoking odor in the room, they said they would send someone to check and refresh the room (or they would move me to another room - which I didn’t feel it was needed given my shirt stay). Someone came in, seems to have noticed the smoking odor, talked in a language that I didn’t understand to the staff over a walkie-talkie, went out of the room and said they will come back and never came back!! I didn’t have time to follow up!"

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were extremely helpful and friendly during my short stay. Welcome gift and drink are grea benefits. This location has 2 restaurants, 1 is with a rooftop bar! The views are amazing. This is the place to stay in DC!!"

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Old but honest hotel. Clean and well kept considering it's 50 years old and mostly original. Surprisingly good restaurant for breakfast and lunch. We didn't stay for dinner but I'm assuming it's good as well. Relatively inexpensive overnight parking and overall good value. Good location and nice pool. Our 5th time here and not the last one."

The Henley Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a charming hotel. The lounge area was very comfortable. The room was clean and the bathroom was nice as well. The gym is very small. The location is good and it's easy to walk to many restaurants."

Courtyard by Marriott Springfield

10/10 Excellent

"Upon arrival, the staff were very accommodating and professional. The room was thoroughly clean. Breakfast food items gave a wide selection of fresh food items. The overall experience was wonderful! The staff accommodated every request with professionalism and swiftness. I will recommend and revisit. Overall, this was a wonderful weekend experience. Thank you so much for ensuring that my family and I were comfortable."

Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"A great place for an overnight stay in DC with family."

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at the Hamilton a number of times now and enjoy each time. The front desk staff was amazing and Sabrina really had us laughing and we enjoyed chatting with her."

Hyatt Regency Dulles International Airport
