Maybe the noisiest hotel ever! The music across the street shakes the building and goes on until about 2:00 am. If you are a sound sleeper or hearing impaired this might work. The bartender didn’t finish our order before tidying, changing the record, and taking other orders. Just needed to sign the credit card bill. Ended up waiting and waiting twice.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
For a Hyatt, this property is pitiful. Other than it being convenient and walking distance to restaurants and whatnot, it lacks in everything else. First, checkin is on the second floor. You have to park outside, in a 15 minute unloading/loading zone, and check in and then grab a luggage stroller and unload and take everything to your room. You can valet for $30 or park 2 blocks away for $20. Fortunately, I was here the weekend before and parked on the street 2 block away for free. When I went back to my room, I realized that I was given a room with 2 queen beds. Had to check my reservation, as I swore I booked a king, and I did book a king. Went back downstairs and king rooms were in high demand and they didn't have any. Somehow, the front desk guy was able to change someone else's reservation (poor unlucky person) and I got a king. Btw. The queen rooms are bigger and better than a king. And have bigger couches and are set up better than the king I had. People talk about a heated pool. That's a myth, as it was FREEZING! Not heated in the slightest! And then wasps came flying in. I went to the front desk and told them and they said maintenance would be out in a few minutes. 15 minutes later, maintenance came with a spray can and shooed the wasps away but didn't spray anywhere. Not sure what people are talking about regarding the breakfast! It's your typical American hotel breakfast! Nothing was special besides tortillas and salsa but that was all. Cold eggs, spoiled milk...

Nice, a little noisy and limited expensive parking

Somewhat noisy from street noise and parking is an issue. Other than that, nice place.

Hotel is nice and staff were terrific. Location is convenient, but very noisy at night. There are a few bars just below the hotel with live bands playing outdoors so it’s extremely loud well into the night. They actually have ear plugs in the rooms. If it weren’t for the noise, it would great.

Parking was strange. We arrived at night and had no where to park to get our luggage out. We had to just stop in the middle of the street and get our luggage out. No one came to our room to clean our room which was also very strange. We were out all day so it’s not like we were in the room when they came by.

We didn’t really have a problem with the hotel or the staff, but we were very disappointed in the fact that the music in the pool area came on over the speakers at 6:30 am, and we could hear it in our room. It woke us both up, and we couldn’t go back to sleep. We were staying in room Room 203, so I would ask not to be put in any of the rooms adjacent to the pool. Another frustration was the lack of signage or direction as to where to pull in for parking. They have to use a city parking deck a block away, but we circled the building a couple of times before we realized there was no parking associated with the hotel. At a minimum they need signage as to where to pull up for valet or unloading. This could easily be fixed.
