Crowne Plaza College Park - Washington DC by IHG
I would give them a better rating but they don’t like to return your deposit back to you. It’s been over a week and I’m still waiting on my deposit. I will never go back

Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel
This hotel is convenient to NOTHING. It is also quite old. The rooms were decent, though the bathrooms were not great. The worst was the mouse running across the conference center. Wouldn’t recommend.
