I stayed here with our swim team and it is a wonderful place. The staff is very helpful,and the rooms are clean and in excellent condition.If I'm ever in Washington again this is where I'll stay. This hotel is truly a home away from home.I have nothing negative to say about my stay here.

I was invited to the USA by the Department of Homeland Security and stayed at the Hampton Inn at Chrystal City for 6 days in February 2005.

I found the staff at the hotel to be very friendly and interested in why I was in Washington, although it took me a while to get use to the accents (being from down under".

The room that I had was excellent, the food at Breakfast was enough to satisfy any hungry person. I was a little disappointed that it didn't have a restaurant for evening meals etc but its proximity to restaurants and the fact that they were prepared to drive me to wherever I wanted to go certainly made up for this. They even took the time to recommend some very worthwhile places to eat which were economical and had great atmospheres.

Would I stay there again if I ever went back? The answer is YES.

I stayed at the Hampton Inn for one night b/c I had a flight the next morning (on christmas eve). Like all the previous stays at Hampton Inns I'v had, this one was right in line with Hampton's commitment of really accomodating the business traveler. Free Highspeed internet, complimentary breakfast (which included hot foods), well-equipped and spacious rooms.
This particular hampton also scores high on hospitality. I arrived at 930am and was able t check in and go straight to my room--my timing also allowed me to try the nice spread of breakfast foods in the dining area. The location is perfect for going to the airport--the free shuttle got me there in 5 minutes flat. My only bit of annoyance with the location is that it is right on the highway--not that I heard any noise from the highway--but it definitely took awhile to cross the busy interesection as a pedestrian to get to the metro station. OH, the closest metro stop is Crystal City--which is really an underground mall and very convenient for getting food or other items on the way to the hotel.
All in all, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to someone looking to be really close to the airport.

On whole, I agree with the other reviews. The Hampton Inn & Suites is in a great location, convenient to metro, restaurants, Pentagon City, the shops at Crystal City, and highways. The rooms are perfectly acceptable, and include a refrigerator/freezer (separate compartments) and a microwave. And, the price is very reasonable for the location, particularly given that breakfast is included. (Though I'd recommend skipping the waffles.)

I only had two small complaints, namely the two multi-legged creatures I killed during my two-night stay. Hopefully, the management will heed my suggestion to bring in an exterminator and eliminate this issue.
