Hotels near Clinton, MD

“The rooms are decent and very affordable. Ive stayed here multiple times for various reasons and habe had a good experience about 90 percent of the time. The only complaint at all is the room keys seem to barely function at all. It will take multiple tries and sometimes a trip down to the front desk to get them to finally work. If they fix that one issue id say theyd be a 5 star.”

“The only bad thing I can say about this place is it takes the shower about 10 minutes to heat up enough to get in but tonight it didn't heat up much past lukewarm other than that top notch beds and pillows and clean and new”

“I booked the Salamander in Washington, D.C. It was a gift for my mom because we both needed a getaway and some quality girl time. I can openly say it exceeded every expectation. This was my first time booking here, and I was immediately impressed by how beautiful the property is and how genuinely exceptional the staff are. From start to finish, everyone went above and beyond—kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and truly invested in creating a great experience.

Check-in was fast and seamless. The staff provided a thorough overview of the hotel’s amenities and also shared insight into the on-site Michelin-recognized restaurant, Dōgon. Located within the Salamander, Dōgon is a chef-driven Afro-Caribbean restaurant by Kwame Onwuachi that opened in September 2024 and is now featured in the MICHELIN Guide for Washington, D.C. It was also ranked #37 on North America’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025. The food and overall experience absolutely live up to the acclaim.

I booked our stay through Amex Travel, which came with fantastic perks: early check-in at 12pm, late checkout at 4pm, a $100 breakfast credit per day, and a $100 experience credit usable anywhere on the property.

We chose the lounge for breakfast both mornings, and it was phenomenal. The service was excellent, the food delicious, and the weekend breakfast buffet was—without exaggeration—the best I’ve ever had. The buffet is offered Saturdays and Sundays only; otherwise, breakfast is à la carte and can add up quickly. We also ordered room service, which was pleasantly fast compared to other luxury hotels I’ve stayed at. Just note there is a $6 delivery fee and an automatic 19% gratuity, so keep that in mind if adding an additional tip.

We stayed in Room 515, which had a stunning view of the Jefferson Monument. The room was spacious and beautifully designed, featuring a soaking tub, marble shower, smart lighting with dimmer options, and even a doorbell so you can hear when someone is at the door. TVs are cable-only, but the hotel offers Roku devices upon request. The tech team was incredibly helpful, and setup was quick and easy.

What truly stood out most was the customer service, both throughout the hotel and at the spa. Every single staff member—from maintenance to front desk to food and beverage—was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to be there. That level of consistency is rare, even among luxury hotels. We recently stayed at the Four Seasons Baltimore, and the Salamander easily surpassed it in service.

The spa experience was phenomenal. The heated pool is included, along with lemon water and fresh towels. Spa access is $38 per person plus tax and is well worth it, though subject to availability due to limited capacity. While the spa is co-ed, during our visit it was all women. Amenities include a steam room, sauna, large hot tub with jets and lounge seating, and a quiet relaxation room (what I affectionately called the “meditation room”) where phones are not allowed. They provide snacks, tea, refreshments, lockers, plush robes, and well-stocked locker rooms with toiletries, luxury lotion, and beautiful LED mirrors. The only limitation is a two-hour time limit per guest, and re-entry is not allowed.

Overall, we absolutely loved our stay and enjoyed every moment of the three days we were there. I cannot wait to return, and the Salamander has easily earned a spot at the top of my list of luxury hotels. Highly, highly recommend.”

“Beyond my expectations! The service and the people are what make a place and this is it! They go above and beyond. We will definitely be back because of them.
The turn down service is a nice treat too. I’m in love with this hotel and I could talk so much about the quality it offers. The blinds open automatically. The views are amazing. We got a corner room.
Sad it didn’t have a pool or hot tub or a coffee shop within. We walked to the Westin to get Starbucks.”

“5-Stars all around! We were in DC for a concert and at the last minute decided to stay the night and not drive home. We booked on Hotels.com, for a complete steal of $150 +$42 Valet Parking. Was well worth it, only a 10min walk to Capital One Arena. Staff super nice and polite. Room was much bigger than expected. Even got little chocolate mints. Very clean. Mix of a updated hotel, based in the 50's. They have a little bar in the lobby. Only issue was when we were walking to our room, one of the hallways both Snoop Dogg and Willy Nelson must have been staying, my eyes were bloodshot by the time we got through. Our room was fine. Great overnight, would definitely book here again.”

“First of all, the location is great.
I enjoyed jogging every morning to the White House, the Capitol, and the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials. There are many delicious restaurants and cafes nearby.
This is the best location for sightseeing in Washington.

It was a two-bedroom room, and one room had an independent bathroom and closet, so it was comfortable, and the other room had a wide bed and closet, so it was comfortable for four people to stay without being cramped.

The living room was surprisingly spacious and the kitchen was perfect for cooking.
(However, the knife was not very sharp.)

I stayed for a week and enjoyed Washington to the fullest.
I will definitely use it the next time I visit.”

“We had such a wonderful stay at The Darcy in Washington, DC! Traveling with young kids can sometimes be a lot, but the staff here made everything feel easy and welcoming from the moment we arrived.

The housekeeping team truly went above and beyond—they tidied up after our girls and thoughtfully restocked everything while we were out exploring, which was such a gift to come back to. The doormen were always kind and helpful, and the front desk staff were exceptional—graciously lending us umbrellas and even a stroller, all with genuine warmth.

Our room was on the smaller side, but it was so well designed and perfectly appointed with smart storage and everything we needed. The shower was a highlight—great pressure, warm, and stocked with spa-like soaps that made it feel like a little retreat at the end of the day. The room temperature stayed comfortable the entire time, which made for restful nights.

The location is fantastic—close to parks and so many attractions, making it easy to get around with kids.

Overall, such a thoughtful, family-friendly stay. We’d absolutely come back!”

“Make sure you visit AJ at the Watering Hole bar outside the Intercontinental at the Wharf! He is the best and nicest bartender around and takes care of everyone, including the pups who visit! Highly recommend sitting outside for a drink or three.”

“Honestly what a great hotel. The staff was very friendly and when I got to my room, it was WONDERFUL. Very spacious and posh. I would 100% book there again *also it was conveniently located in a cute neighborhood close to a lot of good brunch places!”

“Did not stay here. Jusy went for the casino. Drinks were on very good and the environment was very nice. There were many attractions from restaurants, bars and theaters to enjoy live shows. Definotely worth a visit when you come in town.”

“Stayed here the day I proposed to my lady and the hotel staff took such great care of us! After sending them an email in advance, we were given a room upgrade, bottle of wine + goodies and a reserved table with champagne at their rooftop lounge!

This place is an amazing option in Navy Yard, especially if you're going to Albi.”

“The experience here was good. The hotel is nice and well maintained. I was here for an event and the hotel is beautiful, let's get that right. It just set us back a bit since one of the elevators weren't working and the stairs didn't go to the top floor. Or at least I don't think they did. The service was very helpful for whatever else we did need.”

“We stay here 4-5 times a year due to work and it’s the best hotel in the country. Incredible breakfast included and a happy hour from 4-6 every day with 2 free drinks?!?! But the cherry on top is their superstar Mikey G who takes care of us like royalty. I travel 20 times a year. He is best customer service on planet.”

“I recently stayed at Sofitel for a work trip and let me just say, I was so sad that I was only staying for one night! The hotel screams luxe and elegance — from the lobby all the way up to the room. The room I stayed in (Superior Room, 1 King Bed) was beautiful and comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the Balmain products, robe, and slippers! The location was also great — steps away from the White House and other sight-seeing stops as well as restaurants. I removed a star because of how “complicated” it was to request an itemized bill of my stay. Other hotels usually just automatically email it to you after you check out or you can easily call the front desk to request one. With Sofitel however, I had to send an email to a specific email address that I only got after being on the phone with an automated voice recording for a few minutes. After sending the email, I now have to wait up to 2 business days for my request to be fulfilled. I also can’t just call the front desk and ask because they don’t fulfill any receipt requests through the phone. In my opinion, for a nearly 5 star hotel, requesting a receipt of my one night stay should not be such a hassle… Hopefully Sofitel changes this in the future.”

“A new hotel, perfect for active travelers. A contemporary style, what you might find in new hotels in Europe where efficiency and economy are not compromised. The location is perfect, close to Broadways music spots and other attractions but being about two blocks away has you outside of all the crowds. Great staff, great service at a very economical price.”

“You expect quality service when at an upscale or luxury hotel like the Grand Hyatt. Perfect print top the bottom everyone at this hotel provides service like it’s supposed to be. They are engaged and friendly. They make eye contact and acknowledge you when you walk by. They ask how things are going.
Kudos to management for instilling a service culture of excellence at this property and for hiring the wonderful people, which is not easy to do.”

“The price is great. They accept tap without needing a CC present so that made booking super easy for me, since i stopped carrying physical cards. The location is great, you are in the heart of it all. Coffee on the second floor and those machines pump out (i was surprised too) and really good latte. Enjoy!”

“Hotel Washington helped bring a very special weekend together for my new fiancée and I. They were more than accommodating and helping facilitate the delivery of “surprise” items our room at certain times. They really went the extra mile!

Great food location located in the lobby, cool, modern rooms with the options for stunning views of downtown DC.

“For the most part the staff was good. The folks on the concierge counter was not as helpful and the staff did not listen to what the guest was saying. But they were always nice and polite.”

“General Manager Arff and Engineer Byron were incredibly helpful when my cellphone inadvertently fell into the storm drain nearby the hotel. Jason and Cesar were also there to lend support. After retrieving my cellphone for which I was grateful we talked about the hotel, it's Owner's history and hospitality philosophy. We had many questions about the incredible high quality of the linens and the pillows. We will definitely be back to Foggy Bottom and stay here in the future.”

“I had issues with my room it was dirty and there was thermostat issues. However, the pillows were amazing and lofty and the bed was very comfortable. The laughing hyena lady working at the front desk was super annoying.”

“Corner room had double queen bedroom, separate living room had large couch with hid-a-bed gave plenty of room for our family of six to sleep. The room had two bathrooms as well. The hotel is clean and modern. A really big draw was the Metro station below the hotel allowed us to leave the room and be ok a train in minutes. Parking was expensive but the valet was efficient the two times we needed the car during the week.

The only area for improvement would be the speed of being able to get an extra blanket during the late evening hours. They wouldn't provide it at the front desk and twice we had to wait an hour for it to be brought to the room.

Great hotel I would highly recommend for pleasure or business travel.”

“The staff was extremely friendly especially since I had a credit card situation that lasted over an hour at check-in.... This day was pleasant. I can't say much for my view as it wasn't one.”

“This was a beautiful property. It is perfectly located, it is clean, fresh, and well put together. This was very up to date. Their breakfast was very good and the service from Dani, Emma, and Mulu was excellent. Honestly, this is what I hope for when going to a Hilton property and they delivered.”

“I recently went to the Harborside Hotel in Oxon Hill, Maryland, to attend a class that utilized the hotel's conference room. The conference room was located in the basement, and while it wasn’t the most glamorous setting, it was functional and well-equipped for our needs. The space was comfortable for a day-long seminar, and the environment was quiet and conducive to learning.

The bathrooms throughout the hotel were impressively clean, which I always appreciate. It's clear that the hotel prioritizes cleanliness. I can’t speak too much on the rooms as I did not stay in any room. Additionally, there were vending machines conveniently located near the conference area, which was great for quick snacks or drinks throughout the day.

Parking was a breeze with plenty of space available in the back lot, making it easy to get in and out of the hotel without hassle. The hotel overall has a no-frills straightforward approach, but it provides all the necessary amenities for a good seminar for business trips or events. While not an extravagant venue, the Harborside Hotel is reliable for those seeking convenience and practicality for meetings or classes. I would recommend it for anyone attending events in the area.

Nearby activities: Top golf

Walkability: Very walkable

Food and drinks: Plenty restaurant chains nearby”

“Gaylord International Hotels are one of the most amazing places I've ever stayed!! The atmosphere is breathtaking and the service, amenities, dining, spa, and rooms are absolutely spectacular!! I highly recommend this resort at any of their locations. I promise you will not be disappointed!!”

“Pros: Room is very nice. Staff is excellent. Location is convenient for site seeing. Hotel restaurant food is great. Gym is well equipped.

Cons: It's downtown DC so it was very noisy with police/ambulance sirens.

Overall: Would highly recommend and would stay here again.”

“I’ve stayed at this hotel several times. I can’t speak highly enough about how clean and organized this place is. The rooms are thoroughly cleaned daily to ensure a great stay. The m club is fantastic and well stocked 24 hours a day. Birihan and her team do a great job to ensure that Marriott’s most frequent travelers have a great experience. Marriott Metro is a must stay if in Washington DC.”

“I was so impressed with the hospitality, helpfulness, and outgoing personalities of all the staff that we encountered. Norman and Tiana were exceptional at the front desk. The rooms were clean. The beds were comfortable and the location can't be beat if you want to be in the middle of everything. We will definitely be staying here again when we return to D.C. Highly recommend!”

“Rohjhe was great at checkin and the room was nice. It was perfect for me to get a good nights rest and not need a lot of space. The only thing I needed was for the air conditioning to cool the room better. The fan on high didn’t really kick out a lot of air so I had to request a fan be brought up to my room. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay and have nothing negative to say about it at all.”
