"My husband and I recently stayed at the Hyatt House and were very pleased with our stay. The accommodations were lovely, bedding was comfortable (pillows were outstanding), room was very clean and staff was friendly. Could use more counterspace in the bathroom and the floor in bath is very slick when wet - so could use a larger floor towel for the shower/bath. Breakfast was very tasty and plentiful. Pool was nice and clean as were all common areas of the hotel. The location was very convenient on the wharf to numerous dining and entertainment options."

"Old but honest hotel. Clean and well kept considering it's 50 years old and mostly original. Surprisingly good restaurant for breakfast and lunch. We didn't stay for dinner but I'm assuming it's good as well. Relatively inexpensive overnight parking and overall good value. Good location and nice pool. Our 5th time here and not the last one."

"Perfect for a quick stay! The room was a bit small - more suitable for a solo trip or if you don’t plan to spend a lot of time inside. Check in/out was quick via kiosk. Breakfast at the restaurant was good, but slightly pricey. Overall, a great stay for a quick weekend trip."

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We had an accessible room with a drain in the center of the bathroom floor and the water went all over the bathroom whenever you took a shower we told the front desk but it didn’t appear that there was anything that could be done too correct this all in all it was a good stay. Breakfast was excellent. They had everything you could think of to eat unfortunately, we were in the business district and there was very little around for dinner restaurants most places closed by 7 PM and the hotel did not have anything available. Once breakfast was done. We did enjoy the fact that we were right around the corner from the museum of the Bible, but we ended up using Uber to get to the national mall and other museums naturally because it was hot in August and we were on our feet all day. The pool area was OK nothing exceptional and during summer vacation of course there were lots of kids in the pool."
