Top Kennedy Center Hotel Reviews

State Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was a nice place to stay, and we enjoyed our visit overall. The only downside was the parking, but that's more a reflection of the area than the property itself. Overnight parking is available, but it comes with an additional fee. Street parking is also an option, but you have to move your car by a certain time in the morning and then pay for parking again during the day. It can be a bit of a hassle if you're not familiar with the parking rules. Other than the parking situation, we had a good experience and would consider staying here again."

Tempo By Hilton Washington Dc Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"THE CLEANEST hotel I have ever stayed at. This was such a great hotel. We stated during heatwave in DC and this hotel was so great. Had a coffee shop/restaurant/bar everything was right there. The staff were so friendly and when our flight was delayed we were able to stay in the hotel until 3pm (for a little fee). We were blown away at the hotel for how little we paid. Will definitely stay here again if we are ever in DC again"

Club Quarters Hotel in Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Club Quarter was a great place to stay. The staff was helpful and very friendly. We are especially thankful for Melendez who was able to set us up with early arrival. This property is a great location in Washington DC. The White House and the Mall were within walking distance. We would stay there again should we find ourselves in DC again!"

2500 Penn, a Placemakr Experience

8/10 Good

"The front desk staff are very helpful. The lady even showed me the free parking spot and we were lucky to get the last one. The kitchen is fully functional with all appliances you need. There is no housekeeping daily and we need to clean the trash and dirty linen on the checkout day."

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

8/10 Good

"The valet and front desk staff were amazing. The room was comfortable, tho a bit dated. The bathroom was a little cramped, and could’ve definitely used a window upgrade as the noise level was like the window was wide open. Made for interesting listening at night. The location was excellent. It was within walking distance of many sights."
