Top National Children’s Museum Hotel Reviews

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, excellent views. Great location"

Morrison Clark Historic Inn

8/10 Good

"While the hotel is generally clean and welcoming, parking is way too expensive and only caters for small vehicles. Recommendations: team up with a few Parking garage and offer your customers encouraging options. There is no microwave so you can't reheat your meals or make a hot beverage once the their restaurant is closed. The restaurant breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. However, honorable mention must be made about the doormen."

Arlo Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"This place was awesome! Could see the capital building right outside our bedroom window from the 9th story. Parking was in a garage across the street and was easy to access. For reference we have a 6.5 bed pickup truck with a crew cab and parking it is a bit of a pain. There WERE spots available that worked in the parking garage without being too much trouble."
