It was fun seeing DC. I personally would try another place for comparison. You need to improve
Pros:

The cleaning staff were outstanding. The breakfast staff were always friendly.

Cons:

Wait time for assistance. on hold for almost 15 min.
Floor plan of entire floor shows ice machine location. Doesn't exist.
Ice machine didn't work well enough to actually dispense ice.
The sofa bed is not something one would actually want to sleep on.
Pool was closed but wasn't told beforehand. Would have been nice to know before arriving

Pros:

The location was top notch prime. We walked everywhere, it was wonderful. We also enjoyed that theres a living room area with a couch. We're couch people and felt much more at home sitting on a couch through out the day vs outside clothes on the bed.

Cons:

breakfast was extremely mediocre, was on heating plates but was cold?

Some great staff and neighborhood. Furniture was super uncomfortable
Pros:

Friendly, welcoming staff! Great neighborhood!!

Cons:

Furniture was not comfortable at all. Sofa and chairs were jard to sit in. No dresser drawers in bedroom. Small half closet - had to put my clothes on desk out in open as wife took up small closet space. Smallest king size bed I have ever seen and not very comfortable. 1 good thing was safe in room. Kitchen was good!

Amazing waterfront location with spacious, comfortable rooms, but limited daytime amenities—the roof
Pros:

The location is amazing, right on the Potomac River at The Wharf, and the rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very pleasant. Breakfast was also good.

Cons:

The main downside of this particular Hyatt House is the rooftop pool experience. The rooftop has beautiful views, but the pool is quite small and the access feels awkward, as it is located toward the back of the hotel. Most disappointing is the lack of any poolside service—no bar, no food or beverage service, and not even convenient access to water. For such a beautiful rooftop location, this feels like a missed opportunity and could be significantly improved.
