This was the third time I have stayed at this property. It is so convenient to both the metro and the commuter rail. The staff are always incredibly friendly and accommodating. The onsite restaurant is really good and there are plenty of other dining options nearby as well. I like that they have a parking garage available for reasonable price. They are in a convenient location to the heart of Washington DC without actually having to stay in DC. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are spacious.

I recently stayed at the Crowne Plaza Crystal City-Washington, D.C., and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly by Karen at the front desk, who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. I arrived earlier than the usual check-in time, but Karen worked her magic and found a room for me right away. Her professionalism and cheerful demeanor made a great first impression. As someone visiting the area for the first time, I appreciated Karen's local expertise. She recommended some incredible dining spots nearby that I wouldn't have found otherwise. Each suggestion turned out to be a culinary delight, making my trip even more memorable. The hotel itself was spotless and well-maintained, with all the amenities you could ask for, but Karen's exceptional service truly stood out. It's clear she takes pride in her work and values her guests. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the D.C. area and will definitely return. Thank you, Karen, for making my stay so enjoyable!

I recently had an exceptional stay at Crown Plaza Crystal City Washington DC, and I wanted to take a moment to commend Trina at the front desk. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making our experience truly memorable. Her professionalism, kindness, and willingness to assist with even the smallest requests made all the difference. Trina’s exceptional customer service is a true asset to the hotel, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Crown Plaza Crystal City Washington DC to others based on her outstanding support alone. Thank you, Trina, for going the extra mile!

It said shuttle service was available. I didn’t realize that the shuttle available only for Reagan International Airport. Didn’t know there was a closer airport. I flew into Dulles IAD. For someone like me who doesn’t travel much, maybe that is something that should be prominently stated. Otherwise, it was a great experience.
