Top hotels in Crystal City
Hilton Garden Inn Reagan National Airport
On top of being severely dated, to ask a guest to pay $48 a night for parking was a huge slap in the face. This made for an inconvenience logistically. The area was just dirty. The pictures on advertisement were misleading and upon arrival were disappointing.

AC Hotel by Marriott Arlington National Landing
Very clean and big room. Breakfast was amazing and so was dining room staff. Will definitely stay here again.

Courtyard by Marriott Arlington Crystal City/Reagan National
It's a perfect spot right outside of Washington DC-- it's near great food establishments and a bus ride to the metro to venture into DC. Or if you are seeking to travel into Alexandria it's near the Downtown Alexandria "old town" waterfront as well.
