Living pretty close to DC, we have often acted as unofficial tour guides and travel agents over the years. This Hyatt is a great choice. The hotel is nice, prices are very reasonable (especially for DC), and the location is unbeatable. There are 3 airports within reach (though traffic and parking can be a challenge; a shuttle or cab should be considered). If a train is an option, Union Station is a 3 block walk from the hotel. The Hyatt sits just off of the mall, so great views of the Capital, Mall, and Washington Monument are within a few steps. If you are travelling with family, you are within walking distance of many more museums than you can hope to see in a long weekend. Air and Space, the National Gallery, and several other of the Smithsonian Museums are "must sees", depending on your personal tastes.
