Top Chinatown Hotel Reviews

Morrison Clark Historic Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Location is convenient commuter friendly. My room facing the courtyard and it’s been nice and quiet for restful time."

Moxy Washington DC Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel had the exact vibrant and fun energy we were looking for. The trendy artwork, bold colors, and open layout created the perfect atmosphere to relax and hang out. We walked to near by Gelato shop and restaurants. The National African Museum was just 13mins driving distance and the Diner at Moxy was so good with awesome servers. I will choose a bigger room as the one I chose was just too small for me however, the room was super clean including the floor as I'd walked around in my white socks and they were still clean. Definitely returning."

State Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first time staying over in D.C., and the staff was very helpful. The desk manager upgraded our reservation, so we had a kitchen. He also moved us to the other side of the building, so we were closer to George Washington University since we planned to walk. Parking is expensive at the hotel but he helped us find a garage two blocks away for less. The parking attendant at the hotel was extremely helpful as well. Very comfortable stay, surprisingly quiet and close to George Washington University. Special thanks to the great staff. We look forward to our next stay."
