Hyatt Dulles



The Hyatt Dulles is located several miles from Washington Dulles InternationalAirport and offers free shuttle service to and from the airport from 5:15 AM – 12:15 AM, as well as the Reston Town Center six times per day.

Although not close to Washington DC proper, I had a semi-long layover so staying close to the airport was my main priority.

I got a fabulous rate of $55 on the weekend with the new “My Elite Rate” with Hyatt.

Lobby
Upon entering the hotel, the front desk is to the left.  Check-in was quick and efficient.  The first room I was given smelled very odd, much like a skunk so I went back down to the front desk and explained the problem.

The front desk agent apologized and gladly gave me another room, which had no odd smell.

Upon entering the room, the bathroom is located to the right.

Sink
There is a single sink with ample counter space.

Bathroom

There is a shower/tub combo with adequate water pressure.

There is a desk to the left with a small working area.

Couch
End Table, Coffee Maker
There is also a sitting area with a couch, end table, coffee table, coffee maker and refrigerator.

Beds
The bed is soft and comfortable which is the norm for Hyatt properties.

The air conditioner did not work very well, as the temperature of the room remained rather hot despite the cold and snow outside.

The breakfast buffet includes made to order eggs and a waffle station, although the waffle maker wasn’t working at the time.  The staff had the kitchen make waffles for any guests wishing to partake.

The buffet also includes scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, and oatmeal for hot options.

Cold options include smoked salmon, bread, bagels, pastries, cereal and fruit.

The Hyatt Dulles is a great place for short layovers given the great price point on the weekends.  The free shuttle is also a great benefit.  Service was friendly and courteous.

I would not hesitate to stay here again in the future.
