all around good place
The Hamilton Crowne Plaza Hotel was very clean and neat. The beds were very comfortable. It does not have free high speed internet access, which was disappointing. Most cheap hotels have it. The room wasn't exactly large, but for one person it was acceptable. If there were 2 people in this room, it would have been tight. I would like to have seen another table or so for your things. The location was excellent, near the Metro(subway)and various restaurants Overall, I liked this hotel, but like most hotels in Washington, D.C., they are a bit expensive.

Good for families
The Hamilton is in a good location--close to the metro and white house. Staff is very, very helpful and friendly. We had a great time in DC and the hotel was a big part of the experience.

Good base for exploring DC
The Crowne Plaza Hotel-The Hamilton CP in Washington DC is convenient to McPherson Square Station (2 blocks away). I arrived earlier than expected because my cell phone broke and I hoped to use a phone and find a nearby store. The front desk attendant very helpfully directed me to a store and a pay phone in the lobby to call home. Our room was clean; we had two doubles and the room was a bit small by today's standards, but certainly acceptable since all we did was sleep there at night anyway. (We had three people.) Nice bed linens. Walk to National Mall was about 8 or 9 blocks, but the Metro was a fine alternative. Starbucks is on site as well as a hotel restaurant, which had good food. We had the breakfast buffet there that was a bit pricey, but we felt better about it after seeing the variety of food. Fruit was very good quality and we had plenty to eat. Nearby coffee shop/cafes are another option--we ate at Cosi and it was fine. There's also a trendy night club across the street.

Best priced hotel in the area!
The hotel was near the metro as well as washington attractions. I was upset that in order to eat breakfast I would have to pay a high-priced amount.

location location
Location was perfect, just 1 block from train station and few blocks from White House. Staff helpful with finding tourist and dinner options. We were one parent and 3 kids traveling, w/ 2 double beds and we did fine! Rooms were average in size for downtown city hotel. Property was clean and felt safe and comfortable. Would do property again and would recommend to family / friends!

My review of Crowne Plaza Hotel THE HAMILTON CP-WASHINGTON DC
Thought the reservation desk was exceptional. The maid service was wonderful. Room was very comfortable. I didn't like that there was a valet charge of $33 per day that I wasn't told about until after the check-in process was completed. There was no water until 5AM the next morning on the date of our arrival and I didn't know about this until our ride up the elevator with the luggage. The day we left, we had to wait about 20 minutes for our car to be brought around because the valet failed to bring it. (We called for the car about an hour before it was needed.) We had a flight to catch and this could have been a major problem. The restaurant was advertised in the book in the room to be open until 11PM, but they refused to serve us at 10:30PM. All of this said, we really enjoyed our stay. For every problem we encountered, there were many other exceptionally nice and helpful people.

Nice Accommodations
The room was very nice. It was a good size, well decorated and very comfortable. Besides the important necessities, it had lots of little things: night light, clips to hold the drapes closed; women's only floor. It was conveniently right on the route for the circulator bus. Staff was very polite and friendly. Someone was always there at the front door to open it for you and greet you.
