The hotel room is huge! With the cheapest option you could honestly live here. You have an entire kitchen, a large bathroom, living room, and large bed. Super clean, modern, and just so nice. There are even more amenities available. This was also a hotel available to those under 21, which was crucial for us. So glad we were able to stay here!

Booked for the pool for one night and it was great. Accommodating staff and easy check in/out. Staying with 2 toddlers and staff was great. Maintenance man even helped clean up a spilled drink which he did not have to do. Would stay again! Only downside was the room seemed to get pretty hot before air kicked on and then get cold. Not huge deal, but would have brought an extra blanket for the kiddos.

We will never stay at a Hyatt again. From the unprofessional check in woman with tattoos all over her neck etc., then refusing to check us in until I paid a $25 "incidental" fee. For what?? There’s no mini bar, the total bill was paid when booked. To NEVER seeing housekeeping. We just started putting our trash in the hall by day 3.
