Wow this place sucked…TV didn’t work. Room was literally a room with just a bed. Place smelled of mold and visible mold in bathroom. Had the nerve to ask for a $200 deposit after I already paid for the room in advance. Tied up $300 bucks for one night . Could have stayed anywhere else. Women at front ...

It's a fine place to stay if you only need to sleep. The ground level can be noisy. We had people yelling right outside of door around 2am. Hearing someone scream "I'm going to kick your ass" isn't entertaining when it sounds like they're right outside your window. The room didn't feel very well ...

Very clean room . My only complaint is that the walls sound paper thin . But it was a weekend so people being loud was expected . I would stay here again because of the location: )

"The Hyatt is perfectly located! Close to food, downtown, the beach and boardwalk, Mystery Spot. My family and I were able to walk to most places or just have to take a quick drive. Having 24 hour valet was convenient for coming and going, especially as a family with littles. The heated pool and jacuzzi was an absolute hit for day and nighttime use. Breakfast every morning was a relief and one less thing to have to worry about. Room was clean and didn’t feel overcrowded with 2 adults and 2 littles. All in all, we had a great stay. Totally going to stay here again. Oh, last thing, the staff was timely, friendly, and attentive! "
