10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I enjoyed the stay, the staff was very friendly and helpful with questions. We do wish the canteen bar downstairs had a few more snack options."

Crowne Plaza College Park - Washington DC by IHG

8/10 Good

"I was at the hotel for business, there's nothing of interest in the near vicinity - a vehicle is needed (or Uber). The rooms were in good condition. Housekeeping was hit and miss as to whether they came. The gym was great. The morning buffet breakfast was great and the staff were very friendly. The hotel staff were all friendly. The pub/restaurant in the hotel is not great. The bartender is disinterested in her job and customer service is terrible. The food is okay..."

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

8/10 Good
