Top Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial Hotel Reviews

The Darcy Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the staff here. From housekeeping, front desk to the doorman!! It was located on the outer edge of downtown and very accessible by scooter or bike."

Hotel Hive

10/10 Excellent

"Great location near the Metro and right next to GWU, in an area that felt very safe. Major sights were easy to get to. The bed was so comfortable that I’m seriously considering replacing mine at home with the same brand!"

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

"."

Hyatt House Washington DC/The Wharf

8/10 Good

"We loved everything about the hotel except for one thing, hence the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. We were in room 336 and below us, on the street level was an establishment that was very noisy every night, starting around 9pm and lasting until 3am. There was very loud music and people shouting and laughing on the sidewalk and in the street near the place...I assume until closing time. I tried earplugs, but they didn't cut out the noice. I had to use noise cancelling headphones and play something calm & quiet to drown out the noise EVERY night (Thursday through Sunday). We would have asked for a different room, but had gotten settled in this room and just weren't into getting re-settled. The hotel was exceptional in every other way, and I would stay again, though would ask for a different location next time. The staff were super friendly and helpful during every encounter. The room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfasts were great."

Hilton Washington DC National Mall The Wharf

"Nice bar in the lobby. Walter is great bartender."

JW Marriott Washington DC

8/10 Good

"Great location, friendly staff all around. Rooms were a bit small."

Hotel Lombardy

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing. Friendly and very helpful. The food is very good in the restaurant. Will stay there again. It's an old hotel that has been brought along with time. If your looking for a place that has no flaws, this is not your place. But if you enjoy old buildings with one of the best staff, this is your place."

Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay! Perfect location central to most things to see and do. Wonderful reception staff!"
