Embassy Suites by Hilton Crystal City National Airport

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 16 Sep 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

I liked the hotel, but I felt that the parking was a rip off. The good deal is lost because of parking added 25% to cost.

Positives: Nice size room.

Negatives: Parking way out of line too much $22 per night.

I had a very short but pleasant stay at the hotel. The suite was huge, with a very large sitting area with a dining space connected by a short hallway to a large separate bedroom. Both rooms had nice large flat screen TVs and large windows, and were clean. My room was on a lower floor overlooking Jefferson Davis Highway, which is a busy, noisy road, but I sleep with earplugs in hotels anyway so it wasn't an issue. The hotel is conveniently located about 3 blocks from the Crystal City metro stop, and also very close to the Pentagon.

Positives: Huge room, very clean.

Negatives: Next to busy Jeff Davis Hwy.

My stay at the Embassy Suites Crystal City was just about as close to perfect as you can expect. I love this brand to begin with as it is well worth the small extra cost to me to have free breakfast. The breakfast here is great, plenty of options, and a great omelet station. I also liked the pool area, a little bit small but in a glass roofed room so it felt like you were outside. The rooms were clean and being that they were all suites there was plenty of room in them. They aren't located right next to any major attractions but the short drive is easily made up for with the closeness to the airport and the free shuttle to and from. Staff was outstanding and I would have no problem booking a stay here again.

Positives: Breakfast, reception, shuttle.

Negatives: None.

I have stayed at The Embassy Suite in Las Vegas and this DC hotel is better. The rooms are the same and the basic interior design the same. The service is comparable but the ambiance is friendlier. I felt very at home and made comfortable at this hotel.

Positives: Amenities, such as computers, breakfast, happy hour drinks and snacks, close to Metro station and spaciousness of room and hotel.

Negatives: Parking fee for car.

Staff is very polite and friendly. Metro Crystal city is within walking distance. However, hotel offers a shuttle DCA airport.

Positives: Metro station is within walking distance. There is a shuttle to DCA airport. Staff very polite and friendly.

Negatives: Their lobby is very small and needs some upgrading.

Embassy suites hotel crystal city - national airport, 1300 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, Virginia, overall review - I would stay at this hotel again and recommend to others!

Positives: Dynamic breakfast, happy hour, friendly staff, housekeeping remade our bed even though we had already made the bed.

Negatives: Carpet had stains - side foyer and gate leaving the garage - hard time opening even with the hotel card.

Not good for DC visitors. A shuttle is required to get to the Metro. The breakfast is good, but incredibly crowded and the staff continually ran out of coffee and other breakfast items. I left after two nights and went to the Embassy Suites in Alexandria which is right across the street from the Metro and is clean and new.

Positives: They brought up an extra bed at no cost.

Negatives: Too hard to get to the metro.

Clean, attractive rooms in a good location.

Positives: The room was an adequate size with small kitchen. I like the ability to have breakfast as part of the room charge.

Negatives: It was quite noisy in the morning once breakfast was being served.

This hotel was easy to find and had easy access from the interstate. I enjoyed having the suite arrangement. It gave us a little bit of luxury to escape from our first foray into the busy metropolis of the Arlington/DC area.

Positives: Complimentary breakfast, size of room, friendliness of staff.

Negatives: Carpet in hallway was coming up at a seam, could have been a safety hazard.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 27 Jun 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

It is a beautiful hotel, and the food and staff are excellent.

Positives: The complimentary breakfast was great, something for everyone in my family (and quick).

Negatives: I thought I specified non-smoking rooms, but the rooms smelled like cigarette smoke.

Stayed in this hotel months ago on my first trip to Washington D.C. It was a nice place. It is in close proximity to several Washington D.C. attractions that were good. And close to the Reagan Airport, so that was quite convenient as well, as the shuttle took us to and from the hotel. The rooms are really nice, with 2 TVs, a fridge, microwave, like a whole kitchen area, just enough so you can make your own little meals. They are spacious, and they were clean. Staff was nice and helpful during check-in.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Pricy.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 28 Apr 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

We really enjoyed the hotel and their accommodative nature when it came to driving us to nearby attractions. The shuttle to the metro was invaluable. The breakfast was also excellent.

Positives: The breakfast and location were excellent.

Negatives: On our last day it rained and the ceiling where we ate breakfast leaked.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 27 Apr 2008 rated 4 out of 10.

Rate was good but room was smaller than expected. And near busy highway. Too much noise during the night.

Positives: Free breakfast and happy hour.

Negatives: Too many people at the pool therefore many times we were not allowed in because filled to ordinance capacity.

I misunderstood that this hotel was smoke free and therefore booked a smoking room thinking that they were all smoke free; well, I was wrong. Except for the toilet it was relatively clean, but my nostrils were stressed when stepping outside the room (2nd floor); the smell of cigarette smoke was really bad, though I didn't really see anybody smoking. The hotel was overrun by school children, who took advantage of the manager's special. As a result, this area looked like a disaster area. We ate in the restaurant instead, the food took very long, probably because the manager's special time was not quite over yet; but the staff was friendly. My nephew's pizza was burned at the crust so bad that you couldn't eat it; but he didn't want to wait another 30-40 minutes, so he just ate the inside. When I couldn't finish my container of ice cream, I took it to the room; but despite the kitchen area, there was not a single piece of eating utensils; and I couldn't freeze the rest. The breakfast was great; the location was great for Arlington National Cemetery; but overall I was disappointed; I was trying to find a place that i could return to. I have to try something else next time. If I had a family with several kids, I would recommend it alone for the food; but in a non-smoking room. The kids were in heaven.

Positives: Close to Arlington National Cemetery; great breakfast, family friendly, manager's special.

Negatives: Dirty toilet base, strong smoke odor inside/outside room; overrun by school kids, in kitchen no silverware and freezer section; crowded at breakfast.

I chose this hotel because of its location to the airport and metro. They were one of the friendliest hotels I have ever stayed in. They were always willing to take you anywhere you needed to go. The room was very nice and clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay in the hotel again and recommend it to my friends and family.

Positives: The staff was very helpful and the location was great.

Negatives: Nothing.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 05 Mar 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

A fairly priced upscale hotel where the services are very friendly.

Positives: The food in the restaurant was fabulous and fairly priced. But, I liked the room best with a separate sitting room.

Negatives: Nothing that I could think of at this moment because I enjoyed every bit of my stay.

This is our 2nd time here to celebrate our anniversary. We dined at your restaurant for dinner. We were the only ones there. The rolls were hard, food was slow coming, waiter hardly came to your table. He was busy with room service, he told us when we ordered dessert. Dessert and the check took 20 or 30 minutes each to receive. Next year we are going to go somewhere else. The New Years noise at 1AM & piano playing & 3AM noise to be woken up to, was not controlled by your staff. I was disappointed this year. We felt we deserved some kind of credit for this stay. Thank you for your understanding.

Positives: The Managers Specials in the evenings and the buffet breakfast.

Negatives: That the internet was not free! Upon entering the room dirty dishes at our door step, At 1Am & 3AM noise in the atrium that woke us up!
