First of all, I am very shocked to think that I am actually writing this kind of review for a well-established company like the Hyatt. I am a native New Yorker, specifically a native Nyacker, born and raised and am very familiar with the location of the Hotel. I was very excited when the previous hotel "The Time Hotel" with Bobby Van's Steakhouse arrived in Nyack. I was equally excited when the Hyatt arrived in Nyack I I was expecting the same exceptional customer service; however, I was extremely disappointed to say the least. I am a part of a nonprofit organization that sponsors functions and fundraisers. I hoped to continue the long success of having functions at a location in the town we are so proud of and a hotel chain that is very nice, elegant with great and competent customer service. I have to tell you, to make a long story short. I was beyond disappointed. This is not The Time Hotel, the customer service stinks and is unprofessional. I spoke to the Director of Sales Christine, who was going to send an email and availability for events to myself and my business partner. She was going to include the Director of Food & Beverage. I waited 3 weeks no email no call. I left several messages and even went to the location. I was unsuccessful trying to reach her. I then made a decision to call the Director of food and Beverage Ziya Turgut to find out what exactly was going on, several calls to him did not get returned. What a Mess!! Wait, it gets better lol, I then go up the ladder to the General Manager Erica. Hey, I actually got someone on the phone, my lucky day. She apologized for her staff, promised she would take care of the total disrespect and lack of response. I quote " This is my team, they work for me, I promise I will find out what happened, I will get back to you by Monday March 24th". You guessed it, crickets" Nothing, I left messages for Ziya, Christine, and the GM Erica and absolutely Nothing. I feel so stupid to think I was going to get a response and maybe a reasonable explanation for the total lack of respect. I wish I could give this Hotel a score lower than 1 but there is no Zero category. The bottom line is IF YOU ARE PLANNING AN EVENT IN NYACK OR THE SURROUNDINGS DO NOT CONSIDER HOTEL NYACK. They are a joke. Go talk to Angelo at the "Nyack Seaport" tell him Roderick sent you. You won't be disappointed, and you won't waste your time for a month like I did.
