Morrison Clark Historic Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and staff were very helpful! The restaurant was great and the atmosphere wonderful!"

The Henley Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"It’s nice to see an Historic hotel still vibrant in downtown DC. I like the feel of the place. With that said it’s missing a lot of hotel amenities I’ve gotten used to….from a refrigerator in your room, a dresser for your clothes , a bottled water or two and an ice machine in the hallway. There were a lot of conveniences missing. Then there’s $59 a day for valet parking ….unless you were fortunate enough to find a spot on the street. I would shop around a little bit and read the amenities before choosing so you’re not disappointed."

Arlo Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Love the super helpful and cheery staff. Clean, quiet, well appointed rooms right in the heart of DC. Nearby parking isn’t ridiculously expensive. Will be staying here again and again."
