There were bed bugs in the room. It was 1130pm so we had no choice but to switch rooms in the hotel. The next day we’re got a full refund through Travelocity who handled the situation quickly and courteously. The property manager was rude and unprofessional; The night manager did her best to help us out with a different room. Thank you Travelocity for standing by your word!

Disappointing

I was disappointed because the reviews were good. However, the staff was not friendly. They were either on their phones or talking amongst one another and did not greet anyone. We stayed 3 nights and our room was never cleaned. I was told this had to be requested. There was frequently garbage and dishes in the hallway. The Hyatt reputation is not what it used to be. :(

We spent a day and night at the Hyatt as we were there for my husband’s military graduation, and everything was perfect! The children loved the fact that there was an indoor pool which they were able to enjoy that afternoon and the next morning at 9am. Check out is at noon which gave us enough time to do what we have to do instead of feeling hurried. They have a wonderful selection of breakfast options and they have a small market, bar and dining options in and out of the hotel. We had a great time!
