I was at the Hyatt on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so I had the chance to sample both weekday (business) and weekend (leisure and convention activities). The staff are professional, attentive and friendly. The atrium is an acquired taste. It is open and has a constant high level of ambient noise. If you want a quiet and pacific place to sit and read, this is not the place. There is constant bustle and a sense of urgency about the area, and many of the rooms face the atrium, which can make the rooms a bit noisy. The room was exceptionally clean, no problems there. Biggest problem: there is a massive construction project immediately next to the hotel. This is not a little renovation: four huge cranes are just working on the foundation of a gigantic building; this will go on for months. I was in a hurry, checked into the room with the drapes closed on the ninth floor and left for a meeting, returning late at night and retiring for the evening. Around 3 am I heard large trucks pulling into the work site, and went to the window (and threw open the sash, sound familiar?) and what to my wondering eyes did appear but a fleet of trucks and a bunch of workers getting an early start. This did not happen on Sunday, when presumably they rested. Word of advice: after you check in, open the curtains n our room; if you see a construction site, return to the front desk and request another room. The hotel is centrally located and you can access the metro without even going outside, which is a plus. The final weak point is that the only in house restaurant is very small, and if you have a large group in the hotel getting in is difficult. There are lots of other places around to dine, but if you need to stay in the hotel to eat, your choices are the very tiny restaurant with an interesting but very limited menu (good bar selections), a sports bar that is the usual sort of guys watching six games at once and you get to eat high fat bar food, or Starbucks. Not my favorite place in DC, but has many positives as well as the shortcomings mentioned.
