Top Penn Quarter Hotel Reviews

Washington Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were very clean and the staff was always there to help"

Hamilton Hotel Washington DC

10/10 Excellent

"We were in D.C. for a long weekend getaway. We arrived at The Hamilton 3 hours before check-in time anticipating to have our luggage put in the luggage hold. We were pleasantly surprised to be told that our room was available. The lobby area was beautiful, and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Our room was a reasonable size, and very clean. The hotel is very conveniently located - 1 block away from the closest Metro Station (McPherson Square) and blocks away from many of the areas we were heading."

Crowne Plaza College Park - Washington DC by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spacious although I did have an issue with the coffee maker. Breakfast was good with hot and cold offerings. Only inconvenience was getting ice for your room. You had to come to the lobby market place but the ice bucket was in the room. Initially I think it would be more efficient to have the ice bucket at the front desk so you can take the ice with you to your room."
