Hyatt House Sterling/Dulles Airport North

The management of this hotel must have had much travel experience: my room had a mini microwave, tea and coffee maker; and ironing facilities; the room was spotlessly clean; the bed was comfortable; it was quiet, although not short of guests; the front desk staff members were helpful while multitasking; the food in the small restaurant/bar was excellent, as was the breakfast. Nothing was overdone, rather everything needed for a pleasant stay was provided. The view from my room of the sunset and sunrise over the trees was stunning. Also, there is a small group of shops within walking distance.

Close to airport, supportive staff and breakfast. I returned my car the night before leaving and it was easy to check in first, dump the car and then grab the hotel’s shuttle back. The driver was awesome! My room was very spacious. When I couldn’t locate a hair dryer, the front desk immediately found a brand new one for me. I can’t remember his name but he was very welcoming and helpful. In the morning, I left before breakfast opened but was able to snag a cup of OJ and a bagel, before hopping on the shuttle.

The shuttle bus to and from the airport is very convenient. The front desk staff is very enthusiastic and helps to solve any problems. The room is very clean, the breakfast variety is very rich, and there is a convenience store near the hotel, which is only a 5-minute walk away. It is a very good experience!

We decided to book a hotel room near the airport to cater for any weather-delayed trans-Atlantic flight and the expected long queues at US Immigration, and then move into Washington DC the next morning to start our USA holiday proper. The Hyatt House Sterling was chosen for its location together with its free shuttle, plus its price. Good tip - go to Dulles information desk in Arrival Halls and they will ring the hotel to call for the shuttle (from Stand 2G outside Arrival Door 6). A perfectly good room to rest and recover from the trans-Atlantic flight and the long immigration queues. The bar was undergoing renovation (rebuild) during our arrival in USA and so we were limited to using the adjacent StreetZ convenience shop at the gas station (50 metres away) for food on our first evening's stay - just adequate for two tired travellers. On our second visit some 3 weeks later (to depart USA next day, again as trans-Atlantic) the bar was 'up & running', with a good selection of snacks and full evening meals - a very pleasant evening spent in the bar that night. Breakfast was the standard America breakfast with a hot option (scrambled eggs, bacon, etc) - perfectly adequate with good service. We made a good choice in the Hyatt Hotel Sterling for our two transit night stops - we would use it again if transiting through Dulles.

The rooms are spacious. The facility is nice. the beds are comfortable. The staff is very nice.
