Our family of five stayed at the Hyatt House and it worked perfectly for us. We had a suite with two bedrooms-- one king, two double beds-- and two baths, as well as a combined living room/full kitchen. The living room had a pullout bed and there were three televisions in the suite. The suite was clean and well-maintained. Ours was on the second floor and there are no elevators. We had no problem with this but request a first floor room is you can't manage without an elevator. There is plenty of free, well-lit parking. We didn't take advantage of the breakfast or the cocktail hour, so I can't comment on those offerings. But we did use the shuttle service to the Metro-- we reserved space ahead of time and had no problem; the Metro is the best way to get around DC (parking is expensive in DC, driving can be challenging and the Metro is wonderful). The front desk staff was pleasant and helpful. The fitness center is adequate, the outdoor pool was clean, well-maintained and has a lifeguard, and there is a small basketball court outdoors as well. We had no problems with noise from other guests during our stay. For the price, you can't beat the quality and convenience for family travel to the DC area.

We rented their Trio room - 2 full bedrooms, 2 baths, a kitchen and living room, for 2 nights. It is very well kept inside, very quiet when we stayed, has plenty of free parking and a courteous staff. The complimentary breakfasts are merely adequate, not much selection and no cooking to order (e.g. omelets), waffles, or pancakes. For a large family, this property is the ticket, at moderate cost! Smaller rooms are available for couples or small families. Outdoor pool and Jacuzzi are available summers as is a fitness center. The one downside - the price reflects the distance from downtown Washington - a good 45 minute ride by car, although the excellent subway (Metro) is nearby in Shady Grove, with a large parking garage available.

I love this hotel! Try to stay here whenever I am in town. Rooms are great. There's a bedroom and separate living room and full kitchen. Free breakfast with a nice variety of food. Cocktail hour during the weeknights. Great location for getting on the highway to go all over the DC metroplex. Tons of parking (free). Staff is genuinely nice.

Two weeks ago, my cousin had a somewhat routine surgery. In recovery, due to medical error, she stopped breathing. She was revived, and was in the process of recovery, but, I freaked out, and, "....had to see her." We began looking for hotels to stay at near her home in Damascus, Md. I checked tripadvisor, and saw this hotel with it's fabulous rating.
Thank goodness I did!
Everyone in our party was pleased. First of all, the hotel is located in the middle of a forest (at least it seams that way), so you feel very isolated. Next, the staff could not be more helpful. The room? Huge! We had a one bedroom with a sitting area and kitchen, plenty of space for me, my sister, cousin, niece, and their little dog to be totally comfortable; clean. Finally, an unexpected surprise, breakfast and dinner! Each morning, scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, toast, etc....not as fancy as Embassy Suites, but much better than the continental breakfast we were expecting. A full dinner was not provided, but one night we were offered delicious lettuce wraps and the other chicken sausages and wings. Free beer, wine, and soda was also provided.
The pool water is the perfect temp....a bit small.
And, all this for under $140 per night plus tax (about 15%). We did not tour DC, but, if we did, it is only 30 min in; actually, we would have drove to a Metro parking lot and took public trans into town, love their public trans.
