Top American University Hotel Reviews

The Churchill Hotel near Embassy Row

8/10 Good

"Staff at the hotel were excellent and friendly. We arrived very early, so I was expecting to have to do a luggage hold and hang out all day but Deborah was very helpful in getting us in our room. The room itself was pretty spacious, the bathroom was a bit small but had what we needed. I did think the room could use a little updating. My only dislike was the onsite restaurant. While the server was nice, the food was bland and expensive and we were charged an automatic 20% gratuity for the two of us. I was in town for a conference and other guests attending the same conference were not charged automatically, so I'm unsure why we were singled out. I would recommend walking across the street to the Hilton for food, as it had better variety and was actually less expensive, or walking within a few blocks. Overall though, I would definitely stay again."

Washington Hilton

8/10 Good

"I was there for an event at the hotel. Restaurant and convenience store were just what I needed. The only thing that was less than perfect was a noisy air handler in the room, 5126. Woke me up repeatedly throughout the night. If I’d been in town for a longer stay, I would’ve complained but I figured you were fully booked and changing rooms would have been a hassle,"
