  • Great front desk, honored my special requirement.
  • Nothing.

“Excellent business hotel. I had a terrible time finding a hotel at the government rate, as the trip was planned quickly. I put the government rate in, and this hotel is what I got. Could not have been better. I will use this approach in the future.”

  • Location! Easy walking or public transportation to everything!
  • Smaller rooms than I would have expected for star rating.

“Nicely updated historical hotel. Great location, across from park and very easy access to all public transportation (which is super easy to use as well!) and well within walking distance to the national mall and most major monuments and museums! Rooms a bit small and could use more sound proofing, but overall I had a great time and would consider staying there again.”

  • Linens/bedding, pillows, and bed were all excellent and very comfortable, location was also great.
  • Restaurant & it's service.

“Excellent location, 2 blocks from White House, 1 block from Metro station. Staff were very friendly. Bedding was soft, pillows were down and excellent, bed was very comfortable. Pretty quiet hotel, looked to be mostly for business travelers. Starbucks downstairs is nice. Small coffee pot in room was good.”

  • Convenience to subway.
  • Rooms could be cleaner and updated AC filters need to be cleaned.

“In my opinion it is not a 3.5 star. Reception people were not very friendly. TV and rooms need to be updated. Flat screen TV and i pod alarm clocks would be nice for them to add to room.”

  • Very clean.
  • Front desk was rude when asked questions about local attractions - not very helpful.

“I loved the hotel, however we wanted to go on the seaway tour. We asked the front desk to arrange this and they told us to walk across the park and figure it out. They could have called to help arrange tickets so we didn't have to walk to find out they were sold out for the day.”

  • Young manager gave inaccurate information to me regarding 2 issues of great importance to me.

“Front desk person told me breakfast available on weekdays and weekend at 6:30 am. Did not open till 7, jeopardizing my insulin schedule. Also said check approval not granted by their merchant. It was worked out the next day with a clerk who knew correct procedure.”

  • It was a nice hotel.

“While the overall experience of the hotel was very good, from the front end to the valets, the view from the room was less than desirable. We requested a park view, but what we did not know was that Lafayette park was a park where it was over run by homeless people all day and night. We were greeted by the homeless sleeping all day and night and actually taking their private parts out and urinating in plain view. This happened daily every day we were there. Unsettleing to say the least. I would never stay in this type of room, and probably even the hotel due to this.”

  • Great location and value.
  • Room carpet in disrepair, lobby chairs soiled, parking expensive, staff not very friendly.

“This hotel located on Capital Hill and near popular night spots is a good value. It is a boutique style hotel that provides some extra touches expected of a luxury facility. Rooms are small but exceptionally clean and comfortable. There were a few maintenance needs noted; torn carpet in room chairs in lobby needed cleaning. Staff was efficient but not really friendly. Parking is pricey. All in all, it is an upscale hotel in a great location.”

  • Our room was not ready when we got there and not for about 2 more hours, but we were upgraded to a suite.
  • Only one of the 4 elevators worked. We were on the 12th floor so the stairs was not the best option. lots of waiting.

“The room was great. Beautiful view of park next door. Restaurant dining was great. We sat on the patio and had a great relaxing meal. The bed was the best I have ever slept on. It was a great relaxing time.”

Room was clean, beds comfortable, fitness facility was good and a Starbucks is on site. Negatives would only be the view out the window and I did not find the hotel "loud" at all. I heard no street noise from my room and never had a problem sleeping. Would stay again without hesitation.”

  • Hotel was close to everything I needed convention center for business, restaurants, Metro and attractions for leisure.
  • Homeless people are everywhere in the surrounding area.

“My husband and I stayed at the Hamilton Crowned Plaza while attending a trade show in DC. The room was very comfortable, the amenities were great and the staff was super. The location was perfect only a six block walk from the Convention Center, a block from the Metro, and three blocks from the White House. There was a good selection of restaurants within walking distance. The only drawback was the number of homeless people in the area they are not aggressive, just omnipresent. But it did not dampen our enthusiasm for either the hotel or Washington, DC. We would definitely stay here again.”

  • The room was small and had limited amenities.

“We spent on night at the hotel and experienced helpful and friendly staff members. When we got to the room, it was a bit small, but decorated pleasantly and the bed was comfortable. Unfortunately, the internet keyboard was broken (we got a replacement later), so we couldn't take advantage of it while we had the time. There was no mini bar or even a refrigerator in the room, but there were the usual, soaps, lotions, iron, hair dryer, etc. The hotel also provided, a relaxation kit, which was nice. Over the entire hotel was a great deal. It was easy to find, in a good neighborhood, one block from a metro station and staffed by very friendly people. We enjoyed our stay.”

“The hotel and room were clean and upscale. In the area around the hotel I felt safe walking around day as well as night. The White House and other attractions were about a 5-10 minute walk away. There were some bar and restaurants within walking distance on K and H streets, but not an actual night life type of scene. Parking at the hotel I paid 33 dollars since parking on the street wasnt allowed overnight or on weekdays.”

“I would stay at the Crowne plaza Hamilton again without hesitation. The facilities were fine (the beds especially comfortable), and the central location made it easy to walk or take the metro to nearly every tourist destination. In fact, the price seemed too good to be true, given the location. The room and the bathroom were quite roomy and well maintained; since the room did not face the street, exterior noise was limited.”

“Very happy with our stay at the Crowne plaza. The hotel staff was very friendly; however, the bar staff was surprisingly slow and unhappy. The hotel is literally seconds from the subway. The rooms were cozy for the price. The only bad thing is the bottle of water that the hotel puts on the desk and charges 2.95 for it. When you are tired and you just get in, you don't pay attention to what the sign on the bottle says. Well, we were not charged for it anyway. Excellent hotel. Will definitely come back.”
