"Had a good experience with my kids for a night. "

"Someone has breathed new life into this once iconic property. "

"Clean property. Friendly staff. "

" The Hyatt met and far exceeded our expectations. When we walked in, the staff greeted us and were super friendly. Check-in was super easy. My only critique is that I didn't realize they were going to give us complimentary parking in the garage, so I paid with the parking app prior to going in. This may have been stated in the reservation documents, but I didn't read thoroughly, so I'm not sure (definitely won't count this against them). We will know next time that the parking is complimentary. The room was beautiful and unique with a sliding glass door on the bathroom, spacious and pretty bathroom. The beds were very comfortable with comfortable pillows. We do not say that often - most hotels we don't return to because of the pillow quality (I know it sounds high maintenance, which I am not, but when we wake up with neck pain in a hotel, we don't go back)! The absolute best thing about this hotel is the location and all the restaurants around it. Within just a 4 or 5 minute walk are TONS of great places. Five of the places we were interested in were all together right across from eachother a 4-minute walk down the street - D.P. Dough, The Coffeehouse, Nautical Bowls, Insomnia Cookies, and Pizza Payaa. There is a starbucks connected to the hotel. All you have to do is take the elevator to the 1st floor, then literally right next to it is the starbucks door. We will stay here every time we are in the area!"

"Clean room"

"It was clean and well-kept. And affordable"

"Room was clean. Staff was very pleasant. Kris recommended a restaurant for dinner that was very good. Location was "off the beaten path" but still close to many things. "

"We could have Maybe used two pillows instead of the one flat one we each had. "

"The only thing I didn't like about the buffet was they hadn't changed the food out. We got down there about 7:00 7:30 and the eggs were pretty dry and the biscuits were heard on the bottom. But other than that we had a great stay"
