Crowne Plaza College Park - Washington DC by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"An amazing hotel. The only issue I had was the ice machine and microwave was on the first floor."

Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel

6/10 Okay

"If you need to get the Pentagon, this is a prime location with some great views. Rooms were clean and there had been some updates, including a great working table with power supplies and room for 4 people to work in a room if needed. Some updates had been left undone, like rusted bathroom doors, old shower heads, and showers that had limited water pressure. Internet was fine, and restaurant was open until 11:00 p.m., which is a plus. The negatives involved having a personal items either thrown out or removed from my room. This was reported to the front desk, and no one followed-up. As of today, the manager at the front desk knew nothing about the incident, which demonstrates a lack of attention to security. Shuttles are offered to metro (nearest station was closed over the weekend), but only starting at 9:30 a.m., by which time most people are at work or out doing tourist activities. The shuttle only runs once/hour to the airport instead of being available on call. Great if you can hit it, but seems to lack a focus on guests' needs. To reach a metro station, you must walk nearly 3/4 of a mile, hence the need for a more frequent shuttle starting earlier in the day. Some nice amenities, but doubt I would stay again given the need to Uber everywhere and given the lack of attention to security matters."
