Beds uncomfortable
Pros:

This Hyatt place is in a good location, close proximity to university of Indiana. The room was clean. The bed was uncomfortable and the mattress at end of life with deep grooves. The pillows were lumpy, hard and balled up- not fluffy. The beds suggested Hyatt was trying to replicate a dorm experience for parents visiting their children in school. The hotel was quiet.

All in all it was fine.
Pros:

Staff was great. Location was perfect.

Cons:

Provide free deck parking....$16 seems a bit of a rip off. Provide a bar tender. Whats the use in having a bar without someone in attendance.

Great hotel but be informed there is no microwave in room
Pros:

This is a very nice hotel, with helpful staff and a decent breakfast. However, please be warned, there is no microwave in the room. There is one available on the floor by the elevator but this is so inconvenient to heat up take out food. I just don't get it. Virtually every hotel I have stayed in has a microwave.

Cons:

Wrong room (paid for one with 2 queen beds and we got one that was only one bed).
Poor water pressure in the bathroom.
Parking garage didn’t work (it kept trapping us and others in the parking garage).
Flashing ceiling strobe light all night kept us up.

We were charged $550 a night and it definitely was t worth the money. The only good thing about this hotel was the locat
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The staff failed to tell us at check in that the housekeeper only cleans every 3rd day and bring that we only stayed 3 nights we wouldn’t get out room cleaned. I called the front desk to let them know that we are out of towels and tissues and he was extremely rude with an attitude and told me that I would need to come down to the lobby to pick up towels.
The breakfast wasn’t great. Food was cold. No pastries. Coffee wasn’t hot. Coffee cups and lids needed to be refilled. The AC didn’t work well. In the middle of the night we all woke up sweating. There was something very wrong with the AC unit

Would not recommend
Pros:

Nice people, hotel needs way more attention. As it goes, looks to be a no frills, college town hotel and that’s fine. But bare and exposed box springs with the tabs falling off and filthy shower grout and splatters of who knows what on room divider? Not okay.

Convenient, clean and comfortable. Would recommend.
Pros:

Great location. Updated gym. Easy check in.

Cons:

I understand the hotel is in the heart of Blooming but it’s Bloomington not NYC or Chicago. I daily parking fee is high for a limited size garage approximately 50% of which isn’t covered. As you may have guessed it rained during our stay so we walked in the rain to get to our car.

Horrible
Pros:

The room size and hot water.

Cons:

Most amenities were unavailable, it was not that clean, the staff at night were rude, it was not comfortable, the breakfast made 2 people sick, there was a continual flash of light at night in the room that was very bright, the wifi was slower than it should have been, and there were drunks all over the place.

Not great !!!
Pros:

I had a very disappointing experience during my recent stay at this Hyatt property. While the room itself was clean and spacious, the overall service and facilities fell well below expectations—especially for a hotel of this caliber and price point.
Key issues:

The bedside lamp was broken, which made one of the bedside power outlets unusable.
The TV was not working properly and was flickering.
The swimming pool was not available for use.
Housekeeping was provided only after two days, which meant we had to reuse the same towels for two days.

I reported these issues on Day 1 and specifically requested that management reach out to me, but no one ever contacted me.
If I had known about these problems prior to booking, I would not have paid this rate. I’ve stayed at multiple Hyatt hotels in Ohio, Seattle, and Portland and have never had such issues—this was the first time I experienced such poor service at a Hyatt.
Ratings:

Room (Cleanliness): 10/10
Room (Spaciousness): 10/10
Hotel Staff: 3/10
Food: 4/10
Room Utilities (TV, Bedside Lamp): 2/10
Swimming Pool: Not usable

Clean rooms alone do not justify paying extra for “comfort” when basic amenities, maintenance, and responsiveness are lacking. This experience does not meet the standard I expect from Hyatt.
