The hotel needs updating. The A/C could not keep up and my room never got below 78 degree's despite turning it down to 70. The $44 for parking is very expensive. Good walkable location close to restaurants. It is my understanding they have a shuttle to Reagan Airport which I'm sure is convenient for those travelling.

This hotel is very dated. No USB/C connections in the rooms. Very small bathrooms. The elevators are old & small as well. They have a bar/restaurant on the property and when we walked in was like going back to the 80s. Bar is very old. Oh, I almost forgot they $44 per night for parking

The Crowne Plaza was a wonderful experience throughout our trip. The only snafu occurred at check with the early morning team member. She was visibly irritated when I requested an adjustment in parking charges. Once the adjustment was made, she never thanked us for our stay nor welcomed our return. It was a bittersweet moment in comparison to the awesome experience rendered earlier.

Rude staff

Everything was nice except check in. We had a full day of traveling, delayed flights and we were exhausted. We didn’t get to check until after midnight. The front desk woman was not friendly, rude and not hospitable at all. She was also rude to a family who also got delayed and arrived after us and had a small baby. If she doesn’t like her job maybe she needs a different profession. No one was forcing her to be there.
