Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay. Used diamond upgrade cert.
Chesapeake Suite (we think; closest match to descriptions on web site, although desk clerk called it a "junior suite") ; 4th floor, RC is on 6th.
approximately 800sqft (~350 sqft bedroom w/king bed & full standard bath, adjoining living quarters with sofa & chairs, desk, 2nd full standard bath, dining table for 6). Ours was oddly shaped due to a corner in the building, others may be more simple rectangles.
B+.
Nice big room but not being on RC floor is a minus. Nice view of river from balcony obstructed by building. Had we been in the wing on the other side of the elevators the view would have been stunning. When we arrived at 2PM, were told we had to wait for our room as computer system had crashed that morning and had been down for 7+ hours. Got into room about 4. Might have had better room position if we'd been more patient but we wanted to clean up and change after traveling all day, plus have a chance to explore the property before dinner reservations at 7.
A real minus is the internet connectivity. Drops out all the time, even on wired connection. TV in living area fuzzy and in need of repair, but didn't make a big deal of it as only there for one night - although did mention it. Place overrun with kids. Had noisy family with multiple brats plus a crying toddler in adjacent room, but fortunately they all got quiet by about 10:30PM.
RC fare for evening was fajitas plus crudites, crackers and some cheese. Some bottles of wine were out with a pile of glasses and all were helping themselves.
A complete 'A+' for value (phone reservation agent found us a big discount, then we combined it with DEL5K, G3 and Costco certificates), but subtracting for the annoyances, a net B+.
