"The hotel was really nice. Very unexpected for where it's located. Outside was a little bit dirty some trash but not horrendous. The elevator needed vacuuming the rug in there was very dirty. And the one complaint I do have about the room itself was the bathroom needs a small trash can because there's only one big trash can in the suite. But other than that I was highly impressed and would go stay there again."

"The price was great, and room was modern, clean, and really comfortable, and the staff was outstanding. I stayed in three hotels during this trip, and this one was the best without doubt. I’m really picky about small details like how good are the shampoo and conditioner, and how easy are they to use, and are the corners or grout in the shower clean, are there convenient device charging options by the bed, and the Hyatt was flawless. If I had to find an issue, it would be that the tv wasn’t really a smart tv. It would have been a hassle to stream from my own accounts, and live tv wasn’t great. But that’s really stretching to find something to complain about when I can watch what I want on my laptop. Room service would have also been lovely, but the second floor bar and restaurant were great and easy to take to-go. Absolutely would stay again or recommend to friends and family."

"The staff was amazing. Very friendly and apologized for our experience. After all, wasn't her fault. So first it started with the pool closed due to repairs.. only reason we went for this hotel and not the better one across the street. Then my daughter got freaked out when a roach come crawling from under the bed. Fire alarm beeped half the night until we finally just took it upon ourselves to take it down so we could sleep. Beds were uncomfortable. Sadly we wont be returning."
