great location, if you don't mind the dust
This Hyatt has the Metro stop right in the hotel-you don't even have to walk outside and it's walking distance to the main mall and Smithsonians. It's right in the heart of restaurants and stores and a few blocks from Chinatown. You cannot beat the location! Our room was great, it overlooked the atrium but it was very dusty and when you looked out to the balcony, can see a layer of dust covering the carpet on the balcony! Our room was on the opposite side of the elevator banks and quite a walk-after sightseeing all day, it would have been better to be closer to the elevators! The hotel has the usual selection of restaurants. We ate at the Sports Bar the first night and my DD got sick. She was the only one sick so we attribute this to her food. The reality is why eat at the hotel when there are so many restaurants right outside your door? Just make sure you make a reservation and the earlier you make it, the better. The staff was very friendly! Although we didn't use the pool or gym, you have to actually leave the main hotel area (toward the parking lot) to get to them.
