Booked for the pool for one night and it was great. Accommodating staff and easy check in/out. Staying with 2 toddlers and staff was great. Maintenance man even helped clean up a spilled drink which he did not have to do. Would stay again! Only downside was the room seemed to get pretty hot before air kicked on and then get cold. Not huge deal, but would have brought an extra blanket for the kiddos.

We will never stay at a Hyatt again. From the unprofessional check in woman with tattoos all over her neck etc., then refusing to check us in until I paid a $25 "incidental" fee. For what?? There’s no mini bar, the total bill was paid when booked. To NEVER seeing housekeeping. We just started putting our trash in the hall by day 3.

This was not the hotel’s fault, but there was a lot of road work going around the perimeter of the property, checking-in parallel parking on the side street, really needs a covered area to pull in for checking-in and out. Rest of the property was great!
