Hyatt Regency Crystal City

Pros: Pleasant staff, awesome conference venues, free shuttle to airport/metro
Cons: Location/Price, nothing open Sunday! Smoking allowed in bar

I recently stayed 4 nights at the Hyatt Regency in Crystal City, Virginia while attending a conference for young women affected by breast cancer at the hotel. I chose this hotel to stay at because they had reserved blocks of rooms ...

Pros: Right on the outskirts of downtown Washington, DC.
Cons: Aestestic views missing.

When traveling to the nation's capitol one thing is for sure: there is no shortage of hotels to choose from. When trolling the Internet sits such as Travelocity, Expedia and AAA there are hundreds of hotel options to choose from when booking a trip to ...

If you're a budget traveller like me stay away!!! If you're business travellers, you'd be fine coz someone's gonna pay for your parking fee...

Talking about the room itself, first time I got a 3star bidding and the room was in great condition.

Second time, I was wondering that I bid for only 2-star level but did get this hotel. Well, the room that I got for 2-star was well below standard than what I got for 3star. The room was in the same building of what I got for 3 stars, but lower floor. Floor contained stain, old bathroom & facility, but I'm fine coz it's just 2 stars....

The staff at its gift shop was not having any pleasure to do business with their customers at all!
