Omni Shoreham Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Feels good to return to Omni Shoreham hotel nice and clean hotel"

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

4/10 Poor

"The price was not worthy overall. Staff are friendly but the hotel was not refurbished and facilities were old and not maintained. Toilets were making noise each time flushing it, and the bath was not powerful enough. We were living in a connected room and we could hear neighbors talking very clearly. Good location though. Not recommended if you want a peaceful and quiet place to stay."

Crowne Plaza College Park - Washington DC by IHG

8/10 Good

"The breakfast was good, with lots of fresh fruit. The staff were busy serving guests, but they didn’t seem very experienced. The room was spacious and clean, but the AC was noisy and we couldn’t sleep well. You can’t turn it off yourself — you have to ask the front desk to send someone to do it because the controls in the room don’t work."
