Top Cardozo Hotel Reviews

Morrison Clark Historic Inn

8/10 Good

"Very cute place, lovely and friendly staff. Great location"

Washington Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"we had a nice visit to the hotel. Front staff was great. Very professional. We never used the pool, but everyone else seemed to love it. We ate in the hotel restaurant a few times, and the food was ok, service good have been better, but it was also ok. Overall, was a good stay, and would stay there again."

Omni Shoreham Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"From the start, we had an exceptional stay. They were so friendly and accommodating. My daughter wants to go back ASAP haha. Our room had a slight smokey smell to it but thats not the fault of the hotel, probably the previous visitor. Other than that, no negatives! There was a large group of kids visiting for some event but the staff did their best to maintain the ambiance of the hotel bc the adults with the group were not controlling the rowdiness. It was still ok though due to the hotel's character itself and the exceptional staff. Can't wait to go back."

Hotel Washington

8/10 Good

"This is a phenomenal hotel. From the staff, to the rooms, amenities, everything is 5 stars in that department. Even its location is amazing and in walking distance of the White House and many top tier restaurants. The restaurants on site are amazing too. I will say these rooms are great for 2, but this is probably not a hotel for larger families as they might be on the smaller size. My only complaint about this hotel was on Friday and Saturday there is a rooftop bar and the music doesn’t turn off until about 230AM. So while I stayed there for a week, my worst sleep was on Friday and Saturday night. Otherwise fantastic."
