I did get a suite at the Sheraton. At the Hyatt, I couldn't get any upgrade, even trying to apply my Diamond Suite Upgrades six months-plus in advance.

The Sheraton is a better location if you want the beach. If you're taking the bus to work downtown (me!), the Hyatt is better, off the beach.

Overall, expect slightly better service, more "elegance" and slicker facilities at the Hyatt. More tourists at the Sheraton.
