Everyone has a damn attitude here. Front desk women (both morning and afternoon) are just nasty and can’t even have the decency to look you in the eye or fake a smile. NOBODY PICKS UP THE PHONE, so good luck if you ever need anything or just have a question. Same nasty, rude women probably also refuse to answer calls unless for new bookings (my guess). Airport van driver also rude because he was stupid enough to not recognize the color of my luggage and got mad at me. Make it make sense. It is mediocre at best. The property is run down in a mediocre area of this crystal city place which I would never visit if it was not for a business trip. Places like these often can be more pleasant if staff were not so blatantly miserable with their jobs. I would not stay here again.

Nice Hotel

Nice and clean hotel, close to all necessities. Friendly staff. City itself is a bit too hipsterish for our taste, but if you're into craft beers, fancy cocktails/mocktails and fusion food this hotel is right in the center of it all. Darn near impossible to get a Corona and Espresso Martini in this area.

The Crowne Plaza was an amazing place to stay. The shuttle to and from the airport was convenient! The shuttle comes and leaves every 30 minutes and the drivers were very respectful and friendly. The front desk staff were patient and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable with all needed amenities. There are restaurants and stores in walking distance. I felt safe walking at night and in the hotel at night! Highly recommend this location! Will definitely book again!

I booked two rooms, and both were dirty. The television didn’t work and was never fixed, even though we stayed for four days. I booked a king-size bed but was given a room with two full beds instead. The bathtub issue was also never addressed. If I could give this place zero stars, I would. The experience was terrible, and the front desk staff member on August 6th around 4 PM clearly needs retraining. Expedia did their part to help, but my overall experience at this hotel was awful.
