Top National Children’s Museum Hotel Reviews

Grand Hyatt Washington

6/10 Okay

"Excellent location central to all DC has to offer. The lobby is very grand and impressive and staff was helpful every step of the way. The rooms were just ok for this level of hotel - water pressure was low, the thermostat did not work and room was unbearably hot, and the mattress was extremely soft - ok for some, but not my personal preference. Some minor tweaks, a bit more of room amenities (emery board, shower cap) and this could be a five star"

Tempo By Hilton Washington Dc Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was wonderful, everything is so close that we wanted to see, the gym is 10/10, and the restaurant was wonderful, complements to the chef. The coffee shop was also delicious, I’d give it 4/5 stars. We had a small problem with our room, the front desk handled it well and made sure we were good. Valet parking was nice, it’s a consistent rate no matter if you get your car out 1 time or 100 times. $70/night was extreme but worth it to keep our vehicle safe (the parking garage is just for tempo and there is no self park)"

Salamander Washington DC

8/10 Good

"I absolutely love the Salamander. For the past two years, every trip to the DMV area requires a stay there. I love the cleanliness of the rooms are comfort of the beds. For the most part, the staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. However, during my most recent stay I requested an amenity for my bath via the test messaging service and never received it. I’m not sure if this was a technology issue or if someone simply dropped the ball. Nevertheless, from now on I will call the front desk with any requests rather than utilize the text messaging service."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Conveniently located in downtown DC. Great pool and rooms! We traveled with six adults and had two rooms. Two adults slept on pullout beds and the others slept in real beds. Bathrooms in each room were immaculate as were the other facilities. They have a cook to order egg/omelette station where they also serve the meat and potatoes of the day and it’s included with your room. We ended up eating in the hotel restaurant both nights and had good (but expensive) meals."
