Hyatt Place National Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing experience. From the young man at the front desk when we checked in, the easy check in process, the views, the clean room...I could go on forever. We had a small issue with our room where there was no power on one side but it was fixed in less than 10 minutes and it was only because room service had mistakenly unplugged something. We will definitely stay again, and may only chose this hotel in the future. Oh, and did I mention the restaurant! Food and service was EVERYTHING! "

Hilton Garden Inn Washington DC/U.S. Capitol

6/10 Okay

"Staff was very calm and courteous about me needing to leave my bag at the front desk a few times. Also friendly staff at the breakfast buffet. I reserved a king bed room and got a room with two doubles with a handicapped shower that didn’t quite stream out far enough to take a shower. Also, the room was very clean but the remote was visibly disgusting. "

Fairfield Inn by Marriott Washington D.C.

6/10 Okay

"We arrived on friday around midnight... The African American girl working at the reception was nit friendly at all. & seemed irritated to work there Tell her to stay home if she can't be nice & helpful. Other than this , everything was good The african American guy at check out was very nice The housekeepers & the restaurant ladies very nice Hotel was, Clean & organized "

Hyatt Place Washington DC/Georgetown/West End

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect room though just an interior building view, nice and quiet. Excellent pool was actually adequate for a lap swim and nice gym too. Superb coffee shop on the corner, and stick with the valet parking, the private garage next door only saves a few dollars… :)"
