Compared to other hotels that I have been to lately (not exclusively Hyatt), this hotel is not THAT bad.....

Wasnt it a Crown Plaza in the late 90's? It's a big hotel, I think 600 rooms or more, I would love Hyatt to flag this property. It needs some love but it's not that bad. I knew the previous owner and they also had investers in the middle east. They were cheap and never did repair work the correct way.
When its sale was announced in the spring, the owners promised an update on flag affiliation by summer. That this hasn't happened yet leads me to wonder if Hyatt cut a preemptive deal and is waiting until November 1st to announce. We can hope, can't we?
(The only reason I've kept up SPG Plat status in recent years has been to get suite upgrades at the Book Cadillac when in town for Wings games. A Hyatt at the corner of Jefferson and Washington would be an even shorter walk to JLA and let me get Starwood out of my system once and for all...)
If this doesn't come through, perhaps the Dan Gilbert juggernaut might be in the market for a reputable mainstream brand for one of its many acquisition/rehabs?

I stayed there a year and a half ago - the main problem I had (other then them attempting to pretend I hadn't used a confirmed suite upgrade) was that the keycard readers in about half of the hotel cars were broken - so it made it very hard to get to the restricted floor

. Don't get me wrong... For a Hyatt, it was pretty bad. But I have stayed in much worse.

Long standing annual conventions have begun canceling their arrangements at the Dearborn Hyatt beyond October 31st, as there is still no announcement of a successor with just a month and a half remaining under Hyatt management.

Dearborn Hyatt Regency to become Radisson Hotel and Conference Center on Nov. 1st
Although Radisson is not mentioned on the Dearborn Hyatt site, the site is now accepting reservations for November 1st and beyond.
New reservations for arrival date November 1st, 2012 and beyond are still being accepted and the hotel owner has advised that all future reservations will be honored by the new hotel management. At this time we do not have any information on the new management or brand affiliation. Hyatt Gold Passport members for arrivals November 1, 2012 and beyond will not be eligible to redeem Hyatt Gold Passport free nights, or receive program benefits, including Hyatt Gold Passport points and stay credits.

Just when you think this saga is over...
It gets even more sordid...
http://www.detroitnews.com/article/2...text|FRONTPAGE
"In a short statement issued Wednesday, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group said they "have agreed to terminate the previously announced management agreement" with Royal Realties LLC for the Hyatt."
Any guesses on what happened?

I wonder if this had anything to do with it.

The Hyatt site has not been updated with these latest developments, but it seems like the original plans were that the hotel was not going to be immediately branded a Radisson on November 1st.
So it looks like it was set to run as an unbranded hotel for some unspecified amount of time. Wonder if that's still the plan with Hyatt checking out only three weeks from now...

Hyatt Regency Dearborn will be longer be affiliated with Hyatt effective 11:59pm local time on October 31, 2012. New reservations for arrival date November 1 2012 and beyond are still being accepted and the hotel owner has advised that all future reservations will be honored by the new hotel management. As of November 1, 2012, the hotel will be managed by by Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group and, at a later date to be announced, operated under the Radisson brand. Hyatt Gold Passport members for arrival dates of November 1, 2012 and beyond will not be eligible to redeem Hyatt Gold Passport free nights, or receive program benefits, including Hyatt Gold Passport points and stay credits.

Ok, I've trashed this place plenty of times but I need the points and a room for a few hours in Dearborn. I was told by the staff that they thought they had jobs on Nov 1st but now it sounds like another dispute between the building owners and the Carlson Group. As of today the hotel will shut down the 31st. Not sure how that even works.

Coming only a few days after a five year old child died in a swimming pool on their watch (a hefty lawsuit might end up becoming Hyatt's parting gift after that), this may well be the worst month any Hyatt hotel has ever experienced...
