Top Kennedy Center Hotel Reviews

Hotel Lombardy

10/10 Excellent

"The room we chose was so spacious and comfortable, it felt like a complete apartment! We really felt like we were in our home away from home. Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance, and since the weather cooperated, we took full advantage! Will come back again! And everyone at the hotel was so helpful and friendly, always ready with an offer to help and a smile!"

Hotel Washington

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Highly recommend!"

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"Very easy check in and everything was so convenient. Gym, vending machine, ice machine, water with option of water bottle. Very unique and well maintained organization."

The Melrose Georgetown Hotel

8/10 Good

"Primero quisiera resaltar la ubicación del hotel que es excelente. Tuvimos una muy buena estadía en una suite , amplia y cómoda. El personal fue muy amable tanto en el counter como en el desayuno. Sin embargo, ya deben remodelar algunos acabados del hotel que están desgastados y cambiar las toallas. Las almohadas eran incómodas. Me parece que podrían remodelar ya que hay acabados"

Global Luxury Suites at Georgetown

10/10 Excellent

"This is my second time staying with Global Luxury Suites, but first time staying here. What I really like is having a full kitchen and access to laundry. The suite was modern, clean and spacious. Great location, close to M street: restaurants, stores and historic buildings. The only thing to improve was wifi was very weak and the sink drained very slowly. Other than that I would definitely stay here again!"

Yours Truly DC, Vignette Collection by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best downtown hotels I've stayed in DC will definitely use again."

Residence Inn Washington, DC/Foggy Bottom

8/10 Good

"Llegué a la 12.30 pm, me registraron pero no pude entrar a la habitación porque me dijeron que no estaba preparada. Sin embargo, al regresar a las 15.45 pm, otra persona de la recepción me comentó que la habitación estaba preparada desde que llegué la primera vez. Honestamente, me molesto mucho este tipo de actitud por parte del equipo del hotel."

The Watergate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. My only suggestion is that - sadly the pastry nook is closed. There isnt an option for a coffee bar complimentary. I had to get coffee from the restaurant for my partner when he was sick- I bought two coffees so he would not have to make a trip and it was over $20 for a couple of coffees (I got one). I was like - this is kinda silly. And parking valet is the only option if not on the street parking and that is $65 a night. So it was wonderful but - it would be great if those little things were complimentary. The food was good at the restaurant. Not great but good. The best thing besides the view from our room - was the staff is very good. Everyone is VERY good. Maybe I could say - they are great. The lady who checked us in - the cleaning team- anyone I asked for anything - the doormen (doorpeople) - the people in the restaurant and bars. Very good staff. The hotel is a little "dated" but I hope it stays kinda retro because it is a historic hotel. I just hope they somehow do something even if they have to add $20 a night to the rooms - to have the valet parking be free and give the visitors a free coffee barn downstairs. My room only had one coffee cup and no milk so making coffee in the room did not work."
