Top Upper Northwest Hotel Reviews

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location- right next to the subway and just walking distance from museums and US capitol. The staff is helpful and friendly. The hotel is at the heart of Chinatown Washington- close to many restaurants and stores. There were always police cars around but it felt safe in the area."

Glover Park Hotel Georgetown

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom was a little small especially for my husband who is 6’6” but he is used to that. The staff was amazing upon check in and any requests we had! They allowed us to park offsite since our Tahoe would not fit in their parking garage! Overall we had an amazing time and would definitely stay again!"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Washington DC Chevy Chase Pavilion

8/10 Good

"Little things. Massive lint buildup at back of hair dryer. No easy tv access to netflix, amazon, apple tv. No ear swabs. Sheets not v nice fabric, minor hassle if forced perp walk through 2nd floor lobby. Totally mediocre breakfast coffee. No deal breakers but no pleasures."
