Wonderful people and location

The Crowne Plaza was everything we needed! The staff were exceptional...so friendly, helpful, and do everything they could to make our stay in DC during spring break a fun one! The doormen greeted us with smiles, hellos, and asked if they could assist us in any way. The concierge was so helpful in giving suggestions, arranging tours, etc. The room was very clean, comfortable, and accessible to so many tourist attractions! Definitely would stay there again!!!

Great location, great room

The location was amazing, walking distance to the white house, the museums and chinatown. Close to metro and lots of places to eat nearby. They allowed us to check in before noon which was nice but couldn't get us a room with a king size bed. Room is nicely decorated and surprisingly roomy. Would stay here again.

Hamilton Crowne Plaza is a great choice!

Staff was very friendly and very responsive to all questions and needs. Handy to have nice bar/restaurant and built-in Starbuck's. So easy to get a cab -- pulling up one after the other in morning and easily hailed by staff in afternoon. Walking distance to other nice restaurants for lunch and dinner. Room was well appointed, comfortable, and clean. I would definitely recommend.

Old Ebbitt Grill dating from 1856 is a short walk from Crowne Plaza and has great food (try the mussels) and great atmosphere.
