Great hotel for a family.
Pros:

Great property, very clean and new. Zero wear and tear anywhere that we could see. My kids though this was a fancy hotel. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful. Everything in the room worked flawlessly. Even the valet experience was excellent. Very fast and easy.

Great Location and cute room
Pros:

This Hyatt is a great location for visiting the beach boardwalk or families getting their kids to college. The room had two full sized beds and a pullout. The lobby is beautiful. Valet parking people are very helpful and friendly. There is a snack bar downstairs for purchase, and complimentary American style breakfast.

Overnight stop is about right
Pros:

Traveling with family, needed a clean hotel in proximity to our travel destination and this hotel fit the bill. Apparently a large teenage population (or event) was happening and the hotel had a LOT of young people running around, taking over the pool and entire breakfast area. Definitely more noisy than usual but beds were comfortable and for the short amount of time we were there, it was passable.

Pros:

The location

Cons:

The staff weren't very friendly to me but I noticed they were bubbly and smiley with the guest before and after me. The room next door to us had EXTREMELY loud children, banging on walls, running, screaming and jumping up and down. I called the desk to ask if they wouldn't mind asking them to be courteous of other guest and quiet down. Nothing was done. We didn't get any sleep. Not the best experience.

Nice hotel but pricey for the issues we encountered.
Pros:

Large rooms, comfortable beds, and nice swimming pool area. Staff were all pleasant, valets were very accommodating. Hotel was modern and in a convenient location.

Cons:

Breakfast was disappointing. Check in was at 3:00 pm but our room was not ready. We were told our room would be ready shortly, but it wasn’t until after 5 that we got our keys. Elevator issues made getting our luggage up to our room a hassle. Staff were all nice but one person at the front desk made for long wait times.

avoid: noise interrupts sleep
Pros:

room 115 is the noisiest hotel room i’ve ever stayed in.

as we tried to go to sleep, and before normal waking hours, we heard frequent door slamming, maintenance carts wheeling across the floor, voices, and loud machinery noises. horrible night of sleep.

hyatt didn’t let us switch rooms when we asked, and a manager-promised refund didn’t happen.

valet took ~20 minutes to get our car.

avoid this hotel.
