Top Kensington Hotel Reviews

State Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"I would absolutely stay here again! I simply do not travel a lot, so there was a bit of a learning curve in getting around the space. There are two buildings that are connected, but not at all levels. From the side I was on, to reach the restaurant required going to the ground level, exiting the back of the building and walking across a short paved area into a small parking garage, and continuing straight ahead into a glass door that is part of the second building. The restaurant name is not on the exterior doors, so I wasn't sure I was in the right place and just wasted some time. I should have just asked the staff right away, but I assumed user error, lol. They were wonderful, and the entire building is very clean and well organized. It's still an older building and I've never been a fan of the old-building smell that many people appreciate, but that's D.C. in general. The bathroom was large and had plenty of counter space. Closet space was much more than I needed. Dresser was also large. I was traveling for work and the desk was ample for two monitors, too. I never found vending machines but didn't look too hard, so those conveniences were why I can't go all the way to 100% 5 stars, but I walked to where I needed to be and that's a great bonus!"

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay for the price, the location is great. The extra pillows were in a zippered bag in a drawer under the bed which we didn’t realize at first. The hotel has a great breakfast buffet which we should have added on to our stay. The bed was okay."
