Did a 3 night stay on points here. As others have posted this is a former Woodfin Suites so the property is different than other Summerfield Suites that are now Hyatt House properties. As a Diamond I was given a 2 room suite with seperate bedroom and living room and a full kitchen which I never used.
This hotel is in an office park and is typically frequented by business travelers - many of whom stay there every week and request the same room. As such it tends to have higher occupency and rates during the week then on weekends.
It is currently starting a renovation that should be finished in August 2012. Some Hyatt corporate staff from Chicago were at the property going over the upcoming changes while I was there. The model rooms look good and will take care of the dated tv and furniture problem. I'm pretty sure that the current beds are not Hyatt Grand Beds but they were still comfortable. I liked the expanded free breakfast and thought the happy hour ($3 beers and $4 mixed drinks with half price appetizers) was o.k.
The Good: Well lit free parking. Spacious business center, good breakfast with tables outside on the patio. I liked the floorplan of the room with a small balcony overlooking the pool in the courtyard. Lots of tv channels.
The Bad: Front desk staff still getting familiar with Hyatt, and location is a little hard to find for non locals. It's located between the 15 and 805 freeways near the 5 but was only 5 miles away from the Hyatt Regency La Jolla where I normally stay.
It's nice to have another Hyatt option in the La Jolla area. This property will almost always be at a lower rate than the Hyatt Regency La Jolla - it just comes down to what you're looking for. I like the Regency overall but was tired of paying for overpriced parking and a Regency Club that is one of the weakest in the Western U.S. The rooms are bigger here and it is a smaller and quieter property.
