Property needs to empower staff to offer compensation
Pros:

Nice location and pool at Monte Mar was great

Cons:

TV streaming did not work, no real coffee, only one robe in room, even though reported all to front desk and TV never was fixed. One FD staff said they had been having trouble “ever since the thunderstorms a few days ago ago” yet was not offered any compensation even after emailing the property directly

Exceptional - one of the best Hyatt's branded properties I've stayed in
Pros:

I had an exceptional stay! The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to assist me with everything! The location is perfect, with the beach right in front of the hotel, and they conveniently offer free bike rentals. The courtyard is a very relaxing space, and the rooms were great.

Pros:

The room was OK. The fact that it was so far away from the main hotel is something that should be made very clear before you offer.

Cons:

It was 2 blocks away from the main hotel that had all the resort amenities they charged you for. Amd if you wanted to enjoy the pool or the restaurant you had to call the front desk and request a golf cart to come get you!

The room was comfortable. Nice location. Main hotel was busy and staff seemed busy and inattentive. The valet guy was gr
Pros:

The room was nice, clean, and comfortable. Quiet and safe.

Cons:

I had to drive to the main hotel and lobby. They only had one person working the front desk and the line waiting to check in was long and took long time. They did not refill the decaf coffee pot. Staff was not attentive.

Mala experiencia en lobby
Pros:

Esta cerca de la playa

Cons:

La atencion en el lobby con el señor q me atendio malisima, nos dieron el cuarto 1:30 despues de que llegamos, el señor hizo como que consultaba con la housekeeping sobre el cuarto, y solo decia q aun no estaba listo. Llegue 1 hora antes de la hora de entrega de habitacion, quiere decir q espere 2:30 por la habitacion. Creo que el pudo avisar a la housekeepin que dicha habitacion se iba a necesitar para que se pudiera entregar a la hora del check in. No le vi intencion sincera por ayudarme. Un muchacho gordito de ojos claros. Que por cierto ninguno porta nombre.

Our stay was fine but could have been better.
Pros:

The location was great, but the view wasn’t.

Cons:

The photos showed a bathroom with the sink inside but our sink was in the entrance area which made it difficult to use the restroom at night without waking our kids. The restroom shown looked nothing like the photos. While it was decently clean, it was deceptive. There was a slight smell in the room as well.

Loud train noise
Pros:

The room was renovated in 2020 so I have no qualms about that. Just know that it is two blocks away from the main hotel, overlooking a park which is closed down and under construction, and one block from the train tracks. You will hear the trains very loudly! I would spring for the main hotel at Mar Monte. You get to use all of their facilities but that train noise was too much for us. We had to move into the main building

Great hotel and great value
Pros:

, And you get all the amenities from the Upscale Marmont hotel next-door. Free parking free bikes and the best location right across the street from the beach.
