Top Kensington Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza College Park - Washington DC by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Thank you !"

The Watermark Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean. Staff were nice. Breakfast was amazing! Really liked how close we were to Tysons Corner and Wegmans! Decent amount of food options. Just be aware that you have to pay a daily fee for parking each day ($20 per day). Also, pretty close to DC! Elevators were a bit confusing at first but once you get the hang of it it’s pretty cool. Will definitely be visiting again!"

citizenM Washington, D.C. NoMa

10/10 Excellent

"First solo trip I took to DC and the stay was great. Staff were there to help with checking in and security was present at the entrance. Room was very clean and cleaning service was excellent. Some say the room was small, but for one person it was more than enough. Definitely recommend it to solo travelers, will be coming back in the future!"

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Good experience overall, as usual, but we were disappointed with the bar closing so early every night. Who closes a bar at 9:30p or 10p even? Regardless, the housekeeping service was top notch, and the breakfast at the restaurant was surpringly worth the price. For a good hotel in DC, the Hamilton is a great value for the money!"
