Top American University Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Centric Arlington

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely wonderful stay. Richard was fantastic at check-in. Rooms are cleaned but styled a little funny that would be the only complaint."

Glover Park Hotel Georgetown

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed just overnight. very nice place, definitely would like to come back."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington DC Chevy Chase Pavilion

10/10 Excellent

"My go to when I am in DC. Right on the metro. Breakfast included. They’re working on making it nicer."

State Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location to the main areas of attraction and the metro was excellent. The desk staff and housekeepers were efficient, polite, and professional. We arrived early, but there was a room available, so we were able to settle in at that time. We booked a king bed without kitchen; we got a double queen with kitchen. That was fine with us. The room was a bit outdated but clean; the shower had some mold but not a deal breaker. The room was located near the front desk, elevator, and stairs, so it was a bit noisy at times, however, we were out most of the day. We ate dinner at the hotel restaurant one night and the food was delicious. There aren’t many dine-in restaurants within a half mile walk of the hotel. Circa, near the Foggy Bottom metro, was excellent. We would stay the hotel again."

The Churchill Hotel near Embassy Row
