Disappointed with check in. Had to wait 10 minutes before someone showed up to check us in. Once more than one person came to the front, it was very easy and efficient and friendly.

Very nice place, wasn’t made aware of our perks- never offered , tried to use the credit and the restaurant had no gad. Last morning there was no hot water, tried calling front desk , no answer. The staff knew there were issues without building but never bothered to reach out to us or share but asked if we had texted them. Disappointed

The room itself was wonderful and comfortable. The view was beautiful. The hotel’s system was down so we could not buy food or anything at the store or restaurants. We had to drive 20 minutes to find somewhere to eat. Staff was ok

I arrived around 3pm, one hour before check in time. The drive way to the front desk was blocked by two cars. T 3 employees was in the parking area. They can not help. They told me to ask the other driver to move so I can drive through to the guest parking area. Very strange! And then I found out check in start at 4:00pm. No room was available. Not even if I pay to upgrade my room. But I need to get ready for a wedding. The front desk staff was helpful, He let me use the gym bathroom to shower and change. By 4:00pm. check-in line was long. I did not receive any room ready message or call. I left my luggage to the bell man. He was very professional and polite. At late night, to pick up the room key was no problem. But no mention of any Expedia VIP benefits. I left before 4:00 am, check out experience was normal. Room was good size and clean. Comes with full kitchen. May be great for family gatherings. I had been with many Hyatt properties. Always great. Perhaps the rest assured impression, I was disappointed for this stay.
