very nice room for the low price we paid. close to almost everything we wanted to see. staff was all very helpful. clean and quiet. $10 a day for internet was too much!

This hotel was great. It was close to not only the white house and capital, but smaller things like the Ford Theater and china town. You could walk where ever you needed to go. We didn't take a cab anywhere (even thou the kids wished we had) LOL. With the metro being under the hotel there is no reason to go outside to catch it, which makes it nice. Only problem , is that we didn't know how to get to the hotel from the metro when we first got there so we went outside and found that we only had to walk a half a block to get to the hotel lobby, After check-in we went to find the way to come into the hotel and found it with no problem, they are doing work in the area around the doorway , so watch for the signs and you will find the way in.

If you are flying into Reagan Airport you can take the Metro to the hotel and it only cost us $1.85 each way per person. No way you can get a cab for that price. All in all we found this hotel to be a great place to lay our head. The employees were great, the location was great and should we make a trip back to Washington we will look into staying at the Hyatt.

This is our third trip to DC. We previously stayed at The Mayflower. We chose the Grand Hyatt this time because of its location given our short time in DC. At check in, the front desk staff was excellent. We consulted with concierge numerous times and were given good advice every time. Exemplary service was provided by the front desk staff when we were undecided as to whether to take the bus or rail to NYC. The staff gave us excellent advice and tried to help us print out our confirmation while avoiding charges at the business center. The hotel location is excellent- just on top of a metro station, walking distance to the White House, the Mall and Chinatown. Across the street from the bus that takes you to NYC. A Starbucks is located in the Lobby and a small cafe if you did not have time to eat a full sit down breakfast. The rooms were somewhat dated and average but clean. The only negative is the swimming pool which was small, crowded and not particulary clean.

My family and I visited Washington D.C. for the Memorial Day holiday. At the last minute I was able to book a room for $99 per night which was a fantastic value.
The hotel is very stunning when you walk in-the lobby is very large with soothing music playing and a glass atrium. The rooms are recently renovated and have a 42" flat screen tv which we loved.
The pluses-hotel is built above the metro so you basically just walk downstairs! Very convenient especially with a stroller. About 2 blocks away is the White House and a few blocks more the National Mall. The Lincoln Memorial was about an hour walk but it was nice out so we didn't mind. There were some seedy areas a couple of blocks from the hotel opposite the white house so just be careful.
The minuses-no vent in the bathroom for shower, pool is small and you must reserve a space and time to use it. Also, if you want to watch a children's channel you must pay for it. There was no cartoon type channel for my kids to watch and we didn't pay the 9.99 (it was that or a little bit more) for it. You can play WII in the sports bar downstairs but it costs something like $10 per 15ms which we declined. Don't get breakfast at Zepher's in the lobby. It's awful food and expensive. You'd be better off at Mcdonalds.

Tips-we booked a room with 1/2 price breakfast buffet which we enjoyed. The breakfast area is near the lobby but there is water running through the area and a grand piano. Very pretty. Also, most museums are free of charge so take advantage. Great italian food at Ela's which is a couple of blocks away plus concierge gave us a 10% coupon
