Mixed emotions about this hotel. Came for four nights in the middle of winter; it was a "feels like" -24 on the first night, fortunately warmed up after that. Appearance-wise, the hotel looks great, and first staff impressions, all fantastic. Blake, who was the manager on duty the night of our check-in, got me an awesome Hyatt Globalist upgrade. In fact, every staff member I interacted with, with the exception of the bartenders, were five star, happy, helpful, hard working, and attentive.
First downside; while our room as massive and beautiful, the shower head was painfully eco-friendly at a time of year it's in the single digits and your room is in the 60's. Since it was an ADA room (and shower), there's no sealing of the shower stall, like a door, or floor length curtain, so that, combined with the low water flow, made for icy cold mornings and evenings.
Now, where things really went off the rails was the bar service. First night was actually okay, but I was just a walk-up order and then back to the room, however I left a great tip since I knew we'd be back. Night two, "Lindsey O" is our bartender/server; good drinks, fast service, long wait for food, food isn't particularly hot, left good tip. Night three, we had a long wait just to get acknowledged by "Norman K". Bartender from the night before, whom was nice at that time, drops water off at our table without even acknowledging us or looking at us; felt really weird. Ultimately we receive our food, including warm (not hot) chili, but we were so tired of waiting at that point we just ate. The drinks were particularly weak, to the point that I asked Norman about it. His passive aggressive response was along the lines of "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you wanted a double since you didn't mention that, I can add a shot to it now if you'd like?" Umm no, I want a drink that tastes like it actually has alcohol in it, like what was served the night before, at regular price. Final night, sat down, we're apparently in Norman's section again, ignored for ten minutes. My wife goes to the bar to ask if we can have menus, again Norman with the condescending passive aggressive responses, delivered in the most pleasant voice possible just to make it that much more obnoxious; "It's very busy tonight (it was no busier than the other nights), I'm sorry I didn't realize you were over there to dine with us tonight; there are other closer tables. I will come by with menus as soon as I've helped the other customers who have been waiting." Okay, yeah we just sat down at the table to rest our legs instead of using our actual hotel room. We gave him another five minutes, hadn't come by, so we left.
Final issue; apparently some guests were there for a group event, something went wrong, so Hyatt gives them all club access, turning Friday and Saturday mornings into a nightmare in the club. There were probably 20-40 people in there at any given time, and this is a small club room with perhaps six tables. Not just that, they literally tore the place apart; we came back Saturday night for drinks and maintenance had removed one of the tables because this party broke it. I felt horrible for the two staff who'd been working there all day from 7a to 7p; they looked very tired, we thanked them and tipped them.
