Stayed as compensated night due to flight issues and the room was honestly mediocre. Heat/AC didn't seem to work, toilet didn't flush and the TV remote was broken

Lively because of the military presence.
Got to my room on first stay, was given a bad room. Condom in toilet, bed unmade.
Gave 4 stars instead of 3 because the room was slightly upgraded and I was given breakfast.
Commendable

Το ξενοδοχείο βρίσκεται σε ήσυχη περιοχή αρκετά κοντά σε σταθμό μετρό. Το δωμάτιο ηταν αρκετά ανετο με καλά στρωματα υπνου και είχε οτι χρειαζεται ενας επισκέπτης όπως : καφετιέρα, σιδερο για τα ρούχα, σεσουαρ για τα μαλλιά. Το παρκινγκ ανετο αλλα λιγο ακριβό και η εξυπηρέτηση στην reception πολυ καλή!!

I am a Marriott regular but I tried IHG to see the experience since I was given benefits by my credit card company. But the whole experience leaves a little to desire. The staff were rude. When you get stuff from their marketplace I got yelled at even before leaving the marketplace to pay for it. I mean why yell? The wifi was extremely choppy and I was on a business trip. I couldn’t work. They gave me a coupon to get a drink and made me feel every bit uncomfortable asking for the drink at the bar. I won’t come back.

I recently stayed here on a business trip and will probably choose to stay elsewhere if I find myself in the Crystal City area again. I’ll start with the pros: my room was clean, staff was friendly, there’s a Starbucks in the building, and the location felt safe and is pretty convenient/walkable to a Whole Foods, a CVS, and some restaurants.
The cons: the hotel is in desperate need of a glow-up. The rooms have seen better days - the headboard on my bed was very worn and had a sticky stain on it, there had clearly been a leak in my room at one point that was covered up with a bad patch job, the carpet was very stained, and the wallpaper was peeling off the walls in places. The elevators were tired and working too hard - they were extremely slow, stopped on random floors even when no one pressed the button, and I prayed I made it off without a rescue mission every time I entered one of them. There are many options in the Reagan airport area and my personal preference would be to pay slightly more per night for a hotel with better upkeep.
