"We had a very nice stay at the Hyatt. Great location, friendly staff and easy parking in the garage across the street. The reason for the rating of 4 was because the air conditioner in our room was very loud which made for an unrestful sleep. The lobby had nice amenities but the lounge areas and tables were constantly dirty. Breakfast was okay. The fresh fruit had a bad odor and they served the same food every morning."
