Jamil is an outstanding representative. He went way above and beyond to help me with my stay and I could not be more grateful. The room was great and staff friendly. I Would stay here again without a doubt. Especially if Jamil was working that week!

I recently spent 3 days and 2 nights at the Doubletree Hilton - Crystal City for a work conference. I want to make sure to give a shout out to a few employees who went out of their way to positively impact my experience. My colleagues and I arrrived several hours before the official check-in time. We asked if it was possible to check into one of our reserved rooms so we could put our bags down and freshen up. Gigi was helping us at the front desk that morning. She couldn’t have been any lovelier. Not only did Gigi find us all three rooms ready for check-in, but she also made sure they were on the same floor and right next to each other. Gigi’s customer service was perfect and delivered with a smile. Once we made it to our floor, the cleaning staff was working on adjacent rooms. They made it a point to warmly welcome us and ask if we needed anything from them. I’m sorry I didn’t get their names, but whoever was working the 12th floor near room 1252 on Sunday morning, April 27th, deserves to be recognized for their wonderful customer service. Monday, April 28th was the first day of the work conference. My group was scheduled to present a workshop in the first session after the keynote. As I was getting ready to head to the lobby for breakfast, I realized I had accidentally left a folder with documents my group needed for the presentation somewhere in the lobby area after we practiced the night before. I was panicked when I didn’t find the folder in the lobby. Lucky for me, Gigi was back at the front desk that morning. She got a hold of security to see if the folder had been turned in. When the answer was no, she offered to print documents for me if that would be helpful. No sooner had I sent Gigi the documents, that Sandy from security appeared holding my folder. He said that when it wasn’t in the lost and found, he thought it had possibly been turned in at the lobby bar the night before. Sure enough, Sandy found it behind the bar. I cannot fully express how thankful I was for both Gigi and Sandy’s patience and kindness. They both went out of their way to help me. Many thanks to both of them! Read less

In short, this was a stay that was so average that I would not recommend or consider returning to this location. Upon arriving at the hotel at 8pm on a Friday night, it was extremely difficult to find parking in their cramped underground garage. For a hotel so large, it was surprising that their garage was so small. It took several drives around to finally find an open spot. Check-in was slow. There was only one agent working. The lobby was a bustling place and full of people. I was surprised they didn’t have more people working at the front desk. Our room was average and felt kind of dingy. This is a word that I’d use to describe much of the overall feel of this hotel. If you’re just looking for a place to sleep close to the airport, I’d suppose this is fine enough. But, if you’re looking for a place to stay while exploring DC, there are so many better options available. Read less
