Great Central location, but....

The tub didn't drain well, the carpet was sticky, and didn't even have any channels to watch for free. When calling the front desk you couldn't hear them cause of the static on the line. The lobby is appealing and the staff is very nice. Also loved the in and out parking option.

Close enough to McPherson Metro Station

A convention oriented hotel with a decent restaurant. Nice gym, comfortable beds, average sized rooms for D.C. Amazingly, $1 vending cans! Towels a-plenty attentive staff

Good location, cheap, terrible parking

It was very close to the White House and within walking distance of the Mall an Capital Hill. The room was lovely, but the walls are thin. I had a group of college-age, sleepless kids next door but the hotel provided lovely little earplugs. My biggest complaint was that the website said 'parking' but didn't say that it would cost extra and that street parking was not available overnight. For traveling on a budget that was a little steep for me.

Crowne Plaza-Good Deal

Great price for a Washington DC hotel. Good location. We walked to a lot of destinations. Service was good, staff was helpful. Overall good experience. We were able to bring our Bichon to stay in the room, since we were continuing our trip to another state. Pet friendly!

The best hotel experience.

The location was excellent, within easy walking distance to the White House. Easy access to mass transportation. We were pleasantly suprised with our room upgrade. It was large, clean and comfortable, especially the bed. The staff and the concierge were great. They made us feel important and special. My wife enjoyed having a Starbucks in the Hotel.

DC Spring Break

Hotel was centrally located to all the sites in downtown DC and one block from the McPherson Square metro. Rooms were on the small side, but adequate. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. There may be other hotels in the area, but for the price it was well worth it.
