Hyatt Place Washington D.C./National Mall

The location is fantastic, being only five minutes on foot from the National Mall. The breakfast is expansive. It’s also in a really safe part of the city owing to its proximity to the government buildings - I’ve seen the FBI, Secret Service and MPD on patrol on a regular basis! The room was very comfortable, and even with the train station, interstate and a fire station right next door, these were never really that much of an issue to me - I could hear them, but it didn’t prevent me from resting and relaxing. I can see other reviews said these were intrusive, so it might be louder on lower floors, but I was up on the 12th floor. Shower is nice and hot and has a solid water pressure - very refreshing!

The staff was comprised of 80% AMAZING and 20% overwhelmed/going through the motions. I’ve worked in hotels over a decade and the 80% were such wonderful people. They connected with you and your kids and were genuinely warm people. Shower head pressure was awesome. My son liked seeing the fire trucks from the window. One block from St. Dominic’s Church was a pleasant surprise.

Location! It is some few blocks from the National Mall (Capitol) and you can easily walk until there and knew this place and the museums around it (which are greatly free). You`ll have two subway stations near the hotel which makes you arrive easily to the hotel from the Dulles Airport ($6.50 the ticket - Lèffant Plaza and Capitol Center). The staff was very attentive and also speaks spanish. The room was very good and the heating system worked well. A tip is use the google maps to do the subway routs inside the city. It worked very well from the hotel.

Very well located for seeing most of the main tourist attractions in the city. Easy to walk, bike or scooter to the Capitol, national mall, white house, etc. There is a Safeway 3 blocks away and a metro station about the same distance from the hotel. The Museum of the bible is just 1 block away. The breakfast at the hotel was outstanding (eggs, potatoes, French toast, pancakes, breakfast burrito fixings, yogurt, fresh fruits salad, biscuits, etc). The food was restaurant quality which really elevated our experience staying here. I appreciated the security of the hotel (you needed a key card to access any floor higher than the 3rd floor lobby). The hotel staff was very helpful. The hotel will hold your bags upon checking out if you are not leaving the area until later in the day at no extra charge. We loved that the rooms were spacious with 2 queens and a sofa bed, which allowed everyone to ha e plenty of space to relax and sleep.

Accommodating, clean room and bathroom/ shower for family. A complete breakfast included each morning with a welcoming staff. Best of all the location enabled us to walk to all museums and restaurants/attractions, as was close to Mall and Wharf. Didn’t even need Metro. Also, appreciated the prompt response of staff when need of blanket for sofa bed.
