The room was a little more rundown than I expected - finish was worn off of the bedside tables, sheets weren't tucked into the sides of the bed when I checked in. Staff was amazing.

Disliked: Room comfort
The hotel location was great with its access to the Skywalk system. The staff were amazing & very helpful. The hotel looked great. Everything was very clean. And, breakfast was delicious!
However, the beds were VERY uncomfortable. We hardly got any sleep. The mattresses and pillows were worn down. Plus, the beds creaked loudly with even the slightest move.
Good stay. Short walking distance to my event but the hotel is very pricey.

You coulda we what looked like moldy filling in the comforter when held up near daylight
Overall not that bad. After Initially checking in the couch in my room was soaked with febreeze. The front desk quickly changed my room which was good. However after I got in the shower later that night the body was dispenser was empty. 😑😑😑 I had to get out. Go downstairs and get one from the front desk…

I have stayed at many Hyatt's before and unfortionatly, this was the worst one I have stayed at. The shower made a noise like a car engine, and the shower pressure was either blasting or a drizzle. Breakfast was cold, coffee was empty and so were the creamers at 8:15. Parking was across the street and was charged 30 bucks a night in Iowa for parking!! Disappoinment and I not stay there again.
I thought that there would be restaurants and eateries near the hotel. There were none. There was no in-house dining option. The air conditioner was loud and noisy. Very average and over priced.
Room had a smell to it, hair was in the shower/on furniture, some outlets didnt work, heatlamp in the bathroom was burnt out, and dress pants that were hung in the closet ended up with what looked like fur all over. Too pricey for what you get.
