Top Kensington Hotel Reviews

City Express by Marriott Washington, DC Northeast

8/10 Good

"Reception was amazing!"

Arlo Washington DC

8/10 Good

"The room was nice and clean. Disappointed that the room still wasn't ready at almost three hours past normal check-in time. Loved the hot chocolate with oatmilk. Breakfast was great, too."

The Henley Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Picked this because reviews said it's a great stay for solo traveler. Was on business there for the next day Monday, already on Sunday. It's in the middle of town, by a church. It's nice to just walk around and I got some food which I took to my hotel room to eat while watching tv. They have a huge amount of channels. Location is walkable from metros and bus stops. I definitely will stay there again if on business for downtown DC. Staff I met (reception and cleaning lady) was very friendly. Makes you feel at home."

Motto by Hilton Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Clean efficient room! Plenty of space to store your stuff and get some rest. Quiet building, good location to stadium. Thomas at the front desk was extremely helpful with getting us all checked in and giving us all the info on the hotel. Thanks!"

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

8/10 Good

"Great location. Rooms had paper thin walls and you could hear every word of your neighbors. Not sure I would count the gym as a gym."

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk staff has an incredible gift for hospitality. Sabrina was so warm and welcoming to me and every guest. The location is good, the room and bathroom were a little tired - the owners could invest some money on the asset and take care of that front desk staff! They are what make the hotel great."
