Top Bethesda Downtown Hotel Reviews

citizenM Washington DC Capitol

8/10 Good

"It’s really small and bed orientation is tight"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington DC Chevy Chase Pavilion

8/10 Good

"The hotel looks like it has seen better days. The carpeting is threadbare; the rooms are mostly clean, but there were some slight issues. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was good. Breakfast has been pared down, but it was fresh and tasty. Tried to get a drink at the bar ~ 9, and there was no one to help us. No one could help us at the front desk in the evening when we tried to change which credit card the room should be charged to. People were pleasant but could not help."

Hotel Lombardy

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very nice property, well maintained and the staff was exceptional! The "restaurant" on site didn't quite match the property. The prices for the food were extreme for what appeared to be a basement kitchen. They might have been better served just going with pub grub instead of $50 steaks and salmon. Overall, the place was fantastic to stay in."
