Disliked: Amenities
Having stayed at Crowne Plaza around the globe (Bahrain being my favorite!), I was a little underwhelmed by this experience. It presents like a budget convention center hotel, but without any luxury or on-site amenities like a pool, spa, or a variety of eats. The brand pricing isn't adjusted for the missing luxuries you might be accustomed to at this chain, which means you'll pay even though they're missing. Plus, be warned: this location charges $44/day to park your vehicle...which can be a shocker when the online booking app simply says "parking available" like all the other places with free parking. Overall the staff were kind and responsive to our needs, but I'll definitely stay somewhere with more amenities to offer me at that price point.

Not a great stay at all.
There is NO airport shuttle from Dulles IAD to Crowne Plaza. We had to pay an additional $60 dollars to get here. The check in experience was not good. For Elite members this was terrible. The room is basic and for $240 for one night this is overpriced. There’s a small corner shop but the website makes it look much bigger. CVS is around the corner! Front desk also challenged the booking when it was correct. Decided to leave instead of booking more nights.

When we arrived they didn’t know we were coming. They had a hard time finding our reservation. They gave us a room with no fridge. The hotel wasn’t clean the carpet looked like it had not ben vacuumed and floors looked like they hadn’t been mopped well.

It’s kind of outdated for the area, the rooms and bathrooms could use some updating there are scratches on headboards and the bathrooms aren’t the cleanest. The location of the property is perfect if you want to go to DC but not stay in DC. It’s walk able to all public transportation stations. Multiple restaurants are walkable as well as life music.
