Top Northwest Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington DC Chevy Chase Pavilion

10/10 Excellent

"My stay was amazing The front desk attendants were very nice. Will recommend!"

The Henley Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel is in a great spot for dining and shopping. Staff was very pleasant, but the bartender was not very good. Had to flag him down for drinks when we were the only ones in the bar. The area gets a lot of noise, but the hotel can’t help that and it’s expected that close in the city. Overall- I enjoyed the stay and would go back."

The River Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The River Inn is a gem in NW DC in the Foggy Bottom section. It is a very clean hotel in a beautiful and relatively quiet residential area, very conveniently located with the Foggy Bottom Metro station, Whole Foods, Trader Joe‘s and restaurants within walking distance. We felt safe walking around at night. The hotel staff was super helpful and friendly. The room had great climate control, comfortable beds, ample lighting and a clean kitchen and bathroom. The hotel elevators worked well and the place smelled really nice! Highly recommend!!!"

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown

8/10 Good

"The hotel experience was great, I really like the location, and the aesthetic. As well as the 3 bars throughout the hotel. However, I was a bit disappointed by some of the things my room was lacking, such as a microwave, a fridge, and space to hold our luggage. Quite frankly, for the price we paid, I think we may have some better options, but we didn’t leave disappointed. The rooms are small. Best suited for one or two adults maximum. The bathroom is decent, but the shower design leaves a lot to be desired. We found it a bit awkward and hard to avoid water spillage. In terms of cleanliness? No complaints at all. Our room was very well maintained and clean. Upon check out, we were happy to discover that we could leave our luggage at the front desk for safe keeping while we explored during the day."
