Top National Geographic Society Hotel Reviews

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

Club Quarters Hotel White House, Washington DC

10/10 Excellent
"The price I received for four nights was great in comparison to many others I had checked. The location was great. Within walking distance of many sites, and there was a Metro station next door and the other one just across a one block park. There were also buses just across the street. The room was small but comfortable and the staff cleaned it every day. Really good experience!"

The Darcy Hotel

The Darcy Hotel

8/10 Good
"The Darcy is a good hotel located in a prime area. My only objection, and that is why I don't give five stars, is that it charges an amenity fee of about $40 per day that is not necessary. You have to pay the fee even if you don't use it. For example, it offers a drink during happy hour, but if you are not in the hotel at that time, you can't redeem it later at night. It feels like an added mandatory fee that increases the price of each night's stay. The daily rate seems low at this location, but once you add the amenity fee, it matches other, more expensive hotels in the area."

Hotel Lombardy

8/10 Good
"This is a nicely maintained historic hotel in a good location. We were surprised to have a kitchenette, sitting area, and dressing table area in our room. It was comfortable and roomy for the two of us. The lighting was quite dim in some areas. They could stand to use some stronger lightbulbs in the dressing table area which as pretty useless for applying make-up. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. The bus stop is located less than a block away, and was very convenient for getting into the Smithsonian area on bus 10. It is simple to use and inexpensive at $2.25 per trip, paid with a credit card using Tap-to-Pay. Couldn’t have been easier."

The Henley Park Hotel

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."
