My bf decided to give me a nice surprise getaway from home to Delaware (. Luckily, he got a deal on travel zoo for a king size bed at the Hyatt. Now the concern for most guest is, do they honor the deals? Yes they do!!
The location for the hotel is only a block away from the beach. It's walking distance to several nice restaurants and stores. Keep in mind some of the places are seasonal.
There is a garage located underneath the hotel for both residents and Hyatt guests. Yes, you read correctly. The hotel has condos on the top floor. Some are currently for sale. Therefore there are really no scenic views for Hyatt guests. Parking is FREE.
The front desk staff, Karen and Martin were extremely nice and knowledgeable when it comes to finding things to do around the area especially if it's walking distance. I would have to say the only minor problem was the delay in notifying guests when the room is ready or what room guest is actually getting. My bf and I waited for 2 hours until we got at least a room. BUT, Martin was so nice enough to give us a later stay to make up for the delay.
The room was main level, street view and next to a pet-friendly room.
Yes, you read right. This hotel allows pets for an extra fee. Most of them are on the main floor. If you're allergic and would like to request a room away from pets, make sure to notify the front desk.
Our was nice and clean. We didn't mind the street view because we later learned there is no scenic view. The king size was soo comfortable and we had a sitting area with a bed sofa that was too comfortable for additional guests. A TV, mini fridge, and coffee maker with complimentary tea and coffee was included in the room.The bathroom sliding doors do not, I repeat, do not lock. The way it was installed was poorly done. Some reviewers here stand true their words. Overall, the bathroom was clean and I completely fell in love the shower head. It was like spa shower head feel...and the reason why I say this...ha I encounter some difficult showers! haha
Breakfast is included. It's a breakfast buffet-style. They vary by day- scrambled eggs, hard-boiled eggs, sliced ham, bacon, waffles, muffins, bagels, croissant, sausages, biscuits, french toast, cereal, fresh fruits (seasonal) to name a few. Vegetarian dishes is upon request. Breakfast is served in the atrium and there are several flat screen TV to view the news.
Hotel amenities:
Gym is small but definitely have what is needed, treadmill, weights, bicycle and complimentary towels and water. It's located by the pool on the main floor.
Pool has salt water and tends to get crowded with families during the day time however as the sun sets, the crowd dies down.
Business office located by the front desk. Only 2 computers.
Sitting area in the main lobby includes small coffee tables. It's very peaceful.
Bar area closes early as 11pm. It's small and can fit 6 guest total. For additional seating, you have to hang out in the atrium...which is still 3 ft away from each other. They don't really specify the times any where, so please be aware of the times by just asking when they open and the last call. My boyfriend and I were disappointed because on the menu it did not specify the bar time, only the kitchen. We assume the bar was still open.
Bottom Line
Pros: Breakfast included. Beach is 5 minutes. Free parking. Free WiFi. Walking distance to restaurants.
Cons: Dog and children noises. Early closings. Messy breakfast lines...no one is really monitoring guests. Some restaurants are seasonal therefore closed and would need to walk further. Room delays even if you called ahead of time.
Overall- I would still come here.
