when we checked in it was very streamline...however when we walked into our room on the 22nd floor...it was a nightmare...the smell of fresh paint was unbearable, the wallpaper was peeling off the walls, the mattress were horrible, the bedding was not right, and there was an unpleasant smell. I called down and they promptly moved us to another room that was more in tune to what my expectation was for the Hyatt. Although they made it right, i was terribly shocked that they would ever considered having ANYONE stay in that room. room 2205

Really nice, modern hotel. I appreciated the fact that you need to be staying at the hotel to take the elevator to guest room floors. Friendly employees. Easy parking. 10/10 would recommend!
