VALUE - This hotel is way overpriced and favors style over substance. I selected this hotel primarily because of it's recent renovation and everything looked fairly new. Was here for seven days in early April.
ROOMS - Stayed in a Park Deluxe which was large enough and a corner room with a lot of windows but did not work well. Poor lighting just about everywhere and the lighting was organized poorly. In order to get the most light in the bathroom it was necessary to turn on two sets of lights with one of these also turning a light on in the bedroom, not very good if your companion is still sleeping. The closet was in the bathroom which limited it's availability. The six foot long vanity contained one extra large wash basin instead of two medium sized basins which also limited it's availability. The clock was a 1 and 1/2 inch square cube which had to be pushed down in order to see the numbers. Had regular, ongoing problems with the toilet, one of the three phones did not work, the large wide screen TV picture was not sharp. On the positive side, the bed was great and the shower terrific. Plenty of mirrors. The heating unit was very quiet and efficient.
LOCATION - The location was great. Close to the Foggy Bottom Metro Station and did not need a car to get around.
CLEANLINESS - Everything was clean.
CHECK IN/FRONT DESK - Very efficient and helpful, especially Jonathan and Alexander.
SERVICE - Fairly responsive.
DINING - As with all Park Hyatt's I have stayed in, the food was very good but not enough of it and very expensive. Had only one meal there. Ate most of our meals at the Bread and Chocolate Cafe around the corner but also had a few breakfasts at the Westin Grand across the street. Thai Kitchen around the corner was also pretty good. For fast food type food try Aroma near the Foggy Bottom Metro Station at 2401 Pennsylvania Ave. Also had a few meals in nearby Georgetown and one meal at the Fairmont across the street.
