Good review. I think your pros and cons are spot on. Less than ideal location that makes it hard for me to recommend this one over all the competition.
I’ve stayed here for many years when conventions like Katsucon and Anime USA were held - they hold all kinds of conventions here. Biggest memory was being snowed in and having to stay here - very nice. I remember when the views of the airport weren’t blocked by all the buildings that are now there. Rooms are comfy but it is showing its age a bit - AC in elevator area is loud.
Hi Chris.Thanks for the room tour. The room is big, but I wished that they use the space to make the bathroom and shower larger, It looked like trying to get into the restroom on an airplane. Take care.
I stayed here once, I think the valet was understaffed took forever to get our car. There are garages on the street behind this hotel where you can park yourself for way cheaper too
It looks like an OK location if you're coming to DC for a meeting at the Pentagon or one of the office buildings in that area and you want to earn Hyatt points.
That looks like a nice hotel. I don't see me staying there at all due to it being far away from everything, and I usually avoid hotels with valet-only parking especially at those prices.
I agree with you 100%. As a women my toiletries,hair & makeup would never work in that bathroom 🤣However, the TV looks small also. You didn't mention a resort fee. Could they be the only hotel that is just scamming you with the outrageous parking fee! I guess its really just for airline personal and ppl attending business conference's. Thx.
they used to have sci fi conventions here many years ago, but they stopped for some reason - most sci fi conventions are out in California now, I guess that's where all the fans are now
$45.00 / night parking?!?!?! Kind of far from the Metro. Chris, one of the items that I always look for when I travel is free parking. Have you ever stayed at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Spa? Now that is a beautiful resort.
not bad at all for a category 2 hotel. Let me ask you. If the shuttle to the airport is free, can you use the shuttle to take you to the airport on a daily basis, and then use the airport shuttle to get you into DC?

Pretty decent hotel. Stayed there when we were there for the honor flight my grandpa was on.
I used to live Washington D.C. but the traffic is getting even worse than I imagined it. Too many stop lights outside of DC. . But still cool.
Yeah. Traffic in the DC area is the pits!

Thanks Rob!
Not bad for an overnight stay. (Great review)

Hi Chris! Loved the video, as usual! I am a Hyatt Member and always enjoy your reviews at any of their properties. CAB 😍
Thanks CAB!
The Metroway bus goes by the hotel and you can transfer to the Metrorail via the Metroway bus.
Looks good for an airport hotel. Very spacious room. Being quiet is a plus, especially if you have an early flight.
Thanks NewBatGirl
Thanks Chris for sharing this. Sure I'm going there to check other Washington videos. Stay safe!
Thanks Kiran!

Yeah. It did feel like an airplane restroom :)

Indeed. Nice.. but a long list of annoying cons :)
Is this the same hotel from the movie In the line of fire with Clint Eastwood from the 90's? I Swear it is.
Hmm. I'm not the movie expert Wutaii. Seems like a lobby that would make a good movie hotel though
No. That was the Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles.
@@KevinBurciaga Oh ok. Cool. I saw that movie about 10 times years ago.

Yeah. No resort fee here. Just insane insane parking fee

Hi Vincent-- I have not STAYED at Opryland -- but I have walked thru it. And indeed it is beautiful!
the street parking is a great tip! 👍
GREAT REVIEW
Thanks Linda

Hmm. Seems like you probably could :)
@@YellowProductions i of course meant to say "use the metro to get you into DC" you probably knew that
Did you mention what you paid per night and I missed it. The valet parking is way too high. Thanks for the review.
I think it was about $160/night
Will you ever do one for Denver?
I'm sure I'll be in Denver eventually ;)
I'm really enjoying a lot of your videos, new subscriber here.
Did you go to the new Amazon Fresh?
Didn't get a chance on this trip
45 bucks a night for parking and that's before you tip the driver!!!!!!!!
Not sure what you’re doing there, but thanks won’t go .
