Mega construction project going on next door. Huge party hotel with noise noise noise from adjoining rooms. You'll feel like a sardine packed in a can with a Zillion other guests. Hotel overbooked with inability to offer any room changes! Avoid this hotel at all cost.

I stayed here for one night on business. I arrived in late unfortunately so didn't get to enjoy anything in the evening. Service was exceptional at check in and I was in my room in just moments. I ordered room service which arrived quickly. The food was good, although not the best room service food I have had.

I attended meetings in the conference space in the morning. The conference space was spacious and very convenient with the hotel.

After the meetings, I spent a couple of hours around the National Mall which was a very short walk away (about four blocks).

More often than not when I stay at a Hyatt I am disappointed. This one was average and met my relatively low expectations for this average chain hotel. On the plus side is a Starbucks in the hotel although it has limited hours closing at 6pm. The rooms are depressinfpg and poorly sound proofed. I had a corner atrium room which was better than most in that it was larger but you cannot open your drapes or all the facing rooms can stare right in at your room. Crazy design and a ridiculously long walk to the elevator. There are so many better places to stay in Washington that I would only stay here if a meeting dictated that I had to as was the case with this most recent stay.

We stayed there during 4th of July weekend, it was crowded but the insulation of the rooms are very good so our room was very quiet although it was facing towards the inside of the hotel. It turned out that we didn't have hot water in our room, we called the room service and they immediately moved us to a different room and gave us a compensation gift. The hotel is close to major attractions, but in winter it might be a little far (you still need to walk about 15 mins.) If you don't want to walk, the hotel is connected to the metro station. Parking is very convenient, right below the hotel. Also we loved the sandwiches of the sports bar in the lobby!!
