Such an awesome hotel! We loved the full hot breakfast included in our stay. A quick car ride to the boardwalk and down town area. Valet only was one of a financial bummer but the valet team was amazing! So kind and awesome recommendations for restaurants and activities. 10/10 would stay again!
Short trip. Just stayed for 1 night. Room was nice and clean. King bed with a sofa sleeper was perfect for our family of 4. Kinda disappointed that breakfast ended at 9:00. When traveling with teenagers, they’re usually not up and going by then. Oh well. Should have read the hours.
very new hotel has great pool area and fireplace area
great breakfast area and food Staff was excellent
only downside was valet parking which worked fine!!

It was ok. Valet and hotel staff were polite and professional. Disappointed that the Restaurant and Bar were more like grab and go. No wait staff, just the first desk person who you can order beer or wine and like 3 items of food. Also, no room service. The turkey pesto sandwich I ordered was turkey lunch meat and didn't taste good but I was hungry and paid $15 so I ate it. Bad mistake. I had food poisoning that night. I told the front desk the next morning and they said they would refund my cost for the sandwich but they didn't. I was reluctant to try the buffet breakfast in the morning but it was actually ok . However there was no espresso bar as mentioned on the website and the staff said it has never worked!
I paid $35 to rent a fire pit and roast s'mores for 1 hour with my nephew. The fire pit area was separate from the pool and the gate was broken and you can't get back to the pool. The first night in our room the bathtub filled with water when taking a shower and the air conditioner was noisy and could hear lots of people above us. The maintenance staff came to unplug the tub when we called. The convenience of location was nice. I have stayed in several Hyatts and this was a bit disappointing.
Had a great stay.Everything was excellent.Customer service was amazing, the only thing when the attendant aaked me if i was late check out i didn't know they charged me without telling me that. That was a tricky one.
