Hyatt House of Cards
Burned 20,000 World of Hyatt points per night here expecting solid Category 5 value given the prime Wharf location, but the experience was basically a standard long-term stay hotel with excessive nickel-and-diming. The Room & Upsell: Checked in hoping for a reasonable view or tier recognition, but was told it would be an extra $60/night upcharge just to get a river view instead of staring directly into the building next door. Breakfast: Marketed as a hot breakfast buffet, but the quality was bottom-tier institutional food—practically inedible. The Market: Classic captive-audience gouging in the lobby shop (charging $6.50 for a standard bag of M$Ms). You are paying strictly for the real estate footprint on the boardwalk. If you're redeeming hard-earned points, save them for a true full-service Category 5 property—this one does not deliver the value.

Everything about this hotel was wonderful! Views, staff friendliness and attentiveness, and the rooms were very comfortable.

One Night Hotel Experience was Excellent
This was a wonderful one-day experience. From the front desk to the kitchen staff, everyone was warm and welcoming. I usually stay at the Cambria, but I’ll make it a priority to stay here from now on.

The Chicks
This hotel is right at the Wharf and close to all things related to the Wharf. If you are going to a show at the Anthem it is literally two blacks away and so very convenient.

10/10 Recommend
Could not speak more highly of this place. We parked in valet - text your ticket to you, super easy. Every single person we spoke to was kind and helpful. Had a great view from our room. Sheets were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great. The location could not be better - 3 minutes from The Anthem, incredible selection of restaurants all around, and a shuttle or 15-20 minute walk to most museums.

Needed hotel close to concert venue
My husband and I traveled from Kansas to attend a concert at the Anthem concert venue. We were very happy that our hotel was so close to that venue. We enjoyed that whole area along the Wharf, but it was a relief to come back to our cozy, clean room and bed at Hyatt House.

Good value
Good value for location and space inside room. Elevators are a little odd, breakfast was included but not good, would stay again.

a surprisingly great visit and stay at the Washington DC area
Haven’t been to the Washington DC area in many years wasn’t sure what to expect. Very glad we booked this Hyatt on the waft. We were very impressed with the Hyatt Hotel and the waft. easy to walk to many of the attractions that DC offers. Planning to come back again soon.

Overall the experience was good. Directional signs to find the hotel could have been better.
The only problem was breakfast. The eggs and the butter were frozen. My room was more than I expected. It was exceptional.

Nice hotel for business stay
Excellent location on DC Wharf near a lot of restaurants and bars and convenient to Capitol Hill. The hotel was clean and the room was nice. The quality of the mattress could have been better but that’s not a deal breaker. Charlie at the front desk was nice and personable.

Nice experience overall. Coming back.
Overall a very nice hotel and helpful staff. Breakfast service was excellent (included). Self parking is confusing since the drop off spot is shared with another hotel. Parking cost more than we expected but might be normal for DC. Easy walk to National Mall and Museums. Clean well maintained room that didnt smell funky. Good coffee at breakfast.

However, we sincerely apologize for any confusion regarding parking and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Your honest feedback on areas we can improve is welcome and fosters change for future visits. Please visit us again soon! Best, Michael Anderson General Manager
For these prices, I expected much better. We won't stay here again.
Not worth the money. We paid $65 per night just for parking, which is ridiculous, especially since we stayed two nights. The room was so noisy we barely slept. We specifically told room service not to enter our room, yet they came in anyway after we left. For the amount we paid, they could have at least provided a bottle of water in the room. Instead, we had to pay $5 a bottle. That's what I pay for an entire case of water at Sam's Club! Breakfast was disappointing, and there were no trays or to-go boxes, so you had to carry food upstairs with your bare hands. The bathroom has a sliding door that doesn't close completely, so the bathroom light shines directly into the bedroom at night. For these prices, I expected much better. We won't stay here again.

Your feedback is valuable to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your review. We would love the opportunity to host you in the future for a more favorable impression.

Awesome location you are centralized to The mall and on a dock where there’s a lot of restaurants and shopping this is a really good location.

Get the harbor view room, you won't regret it!
My husband and I absolutely loved our stay here! We had a room that overlooked the harbor that was so much fun! At night there was some noise outside since it was the weekend but when you went back into the separate bedroom you could not hear anything. The bed was so comfortable! The room was immaculate and the employees went above and beyond expectations!

Great location
Fantastic experience at the price point! We traveled with 2 couples and all of our kids. The wharf was a great location to "feel" like a resort with the water views and rooftop pool, yet also be walkable or a quick taxi/uber ride to all the main city attractions. The rooms were clean and spacious, free wifi and complimentary breakfast with a nice amount of options.
