Crowne Plaza College Park - Washington DC by IHG

8/10 Good

"We really liked the breakfast staff, the food was excellent . The other staff were very nice as well, we would have liked having a microwave in our room.that was the only thing that was missing. Other than that our stay was good. It was clean"

Hotel Lombardy

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this boutique hotel! Valets and check in staff were excellent, we loved the atmosphere of the bar, and the restaurant food and service were great. We booked a Superior King room for the July 04 holiday and it was very nice for the two of us. Clean, nicely decorated and the bathroom while on the smaller side was sufficient with a tub/shower stocked with soaps, shampoo and conditioner. Really like that this older gem retains a lot of the original character! A few blocks down 21st street takes you to the Lincoln Memorial and Reflection Pool. Would definitely stay here again!"
