Top National Children’s Museum Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good location. We saw all the DC sights with just walking. Parking was unreasonably expensive. The room was small. Lots of good places to eat close by."

Riggs Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful historic building that had everything we needed for a lovely stay in DC. The staff was very pleasant and helpful and the location was perfect for site-seeing in DC. Within walking distance to thee White House and most of the museums on the national mall. Also close to many great restaurants and the metro and Fords Theater. The Riggs restaurant is also excellent with excellent service. They have a large gym downstairs and many great amenities. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again."

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We were pleasantly surprised at the Moxy. A very hip hotel in a great location. Close enough in proximity to the convention center, and museums and monuments were a mile away. Public transportation was an easy walk of a couple of blocks. The room was tiny but we were only there to sleep so once we took advantage of the numerous wall hooks and fold out tables it worked for our weeks stay. Bathroom and shower were spacious. Staff was great."

The Henley Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a nice lovely historica hotel. I was at the room 206 and like the space with the desk that seems to be a good zone. Everything is clean, we did not have any breakfast, Hotel staff are friendly and helpful and also help open the door for us, which some hotels do not have anymore as most hotel has automatically door so this reminds me of the old time. The hotel is clean and I love the wall decoration. If we will be back to DC, I recommend this hotel. Good location!"

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

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing. This location is very family friendly. They had a crib with clean sheets for my bay to sleep in during our stay. The rooms are very clean. The breakfast was great every morning too. 10 out of 10 every day. I will definitely be coming back next time I’m in town."
