The Hyatt Regency Dallas is one of the largest convention center hotels in Dallas. It's connected to the iconic Reunion Tower. While this hotel is best if you're attending a convention, I stayed here for a staycation and came away pleasantly surprised.
My Overall Rating - 5 Stars for my experience
4 Stars if you're staying here for a convention
3 Stars if you booked through a travel website
Atmosphere - If you've ever seen the Dallas skyline, you've noticed the Reunion Tower (the building that looks like a dandelion). This tower is fixed to the Hyatt Regency Dallas, a 1200+ room hotel and convention center. The lobby is open, clean, and full of energy from visitors. It's also very nice. The hotel appears to have been remodeled. 1 Star.
Service - I made my reservations through the World of Hyatt program (free to anyone), and a few days before my visit, the Hyatt team reached out to welcome me. After a few e-mail exchanges, I shared some requests and the team made it happen. My expectations were blown away. Thank you Oscar and the Hyatt team for helping us upgrade to an amazing room! Also, the valet was always extremely busy, but the team always kept things moving. Kudos to the entire team. 1 Star.
Facility - While I was here for a 3 day weekend, I took some time to explore the hotel. It's big - massive. The Lobby floor contains numerous meeting rooms, as does the floor below. My room (2622) was recently remodeled. It was very spacious, contained accent lighting, and a huge 60" TV. We also had the adjacent room (2620) with access to separate living and dining areas. Best of all, we were located downtown, easily accessible via Uber or the underground walkways. Thanks again Oscar for the upgrade as the rooms were fantastic. 2 Stars.
Will I Return? - Yes, but I have to offer some disclosure. My experience was amazing, and it was 5 Stars. If you were staying at the Hyatt Regency Dallas for a convention, you will be very pleased. However, if I recommended a hotel to an out-of-town friend, I would probably refer them to a boutique hotel. YMMV. 1 Star.
My Yelp Rating Scale (Sum of all parts):
1 Star - Atmosphere - Is it a cool dive? Perhaps an upscale place? No matter the type, atmosphere plays a big part and I'll give a star if I like it or thinks it has great charm.
1 Star - Service - You can have a great meal with bad service. But that's also what can make a five star joint drop to four. It's important to the dining experience that service is great and on point.
2 Stars - Facility - I'll award up to two stars for the facility, since this is the main reason we go out. Sometimes the extra star is given for value, but it's really all about the facility.
1 Star - Will I come back? - If I know for a fact I'll return, I'll give this a star. A place has to make an impression for me to return.
Each Category can be given up to 1 star except food (2 stars) because I consider all these categories important to the overall dining experience. I will sum them up to provide my final Yelp score.
