Stayed here 2 nights, at a group type rate for a wedding I was attending. I business traveled for over 40 years, in hotels about 80 nights a year, so I have the creds so to speak.
Rate was $169 a night on a weekend, with no conventions in town, so this is not a budget hotel. (An extra $38 a day to valet park your car, with in/out) Looks and "acts" like one though. Rooms are dated, dim, and tired looking. Furniture, walls and trim are worn. Bed was ok, everything worked ok, it just seems like an old property in need of a complete makeover. Fairly clean, however. As is the norm now, housekeeping on demand or on checkout only, not an issue for me this trip.
Only food options are a breakfast buffet, a very limited menu at the bar, or 50 cent bags of chips for $2.75 in the gift shop.
Front desk staff was a mixed bag, ranging from friendly to snitty and hostile.
Valet guys are all great, if a bit overwhelmed at times.
Some of the other guests here were downright frightening, which kind of surprised me at a Hyatt in a downtown location. This is not a Motel 6, so I don't know how the street types are affording it.
Most disturbing of all was the critters wandering around the valet parking and entrance areas out front, and around the corners. I waited for my car several times over the couple days I was here. Every single time I sat on the benches out front, every time, I was approached by some druggie/homeless/hustler type asking me for money. One guy even began his pitch by saying "I want to talk to you. Now, I'm not going to rob you....." Really??!!?? No kidding, why would I let you do that? Told him and all the others to beat it. That's me, I'm a big guy, but I hate to think about an elderly person or lady being accosted out there. WHERE'S SECURITY?????? One grubby looking, limping, tattoo laden security guard I saw at night doesn't exactly strike fear in the hearts of the criminals. Hell, he looks like one of them.
Bottom lines: Overpriced for what you get, not worth the money, old, tired, lacks food options. Dangerous at the entrance/valet area and around the corners from that. Buyer beware.
