Top Discovery Theater Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Washington DC/The Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing, so friendly. Breakfast was wonderful, and a good way to save on a meal every day, plus the breakfast staff was so helpful and just energetic and a joy. And honestly the bartender was probably my favorite person, he was so friendly, always made sure to put the games on (it was MLB playoffs and NFL season). And on the other side, I kept telling housekeeping they didn’t need to take care of things, but we kept coming home to a refreshed room. I was above and beyond satisfied with our stay. Not to mention it is well positioned to acces all of the DC sights and restaurants."

"We had a wonderful experience at this hotel! Everything was absolutely perfect, and we couldn't have asked for a better stay. The room service was excellent, and the entire staff was incredibly kind, friendly, and always willing to help. Their hospitality truly made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our stay. The complimentary breakfast was fantastic, and having coffee and tea available 24/7 was such a thoughtful and convenient touch! The air conditioning worked perfectly. Another great feature was having a microwave in the room, which was incredibly useful for heating up leftovers. The location was also excellent, making it easy and convenient to get around and explore the area. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well organized, and the exceptional service made our stay even more enjoyable.

"Super helpful staff including check-in and room services. Room was clean and the location to The Anthem and the Mall was phenomenal. Breakfast was fabulous and the entire dining staff was attentive and friendly. I would definitely choose to stay here again. Only a handful of metro stops from Reagan airport to the hotel which rests above the L’Enfant station. Stayed multiple nights and days and they didn’t miss a beat or an opportunity to make the stay wonderful!"
