This is correct. The same also holds true for the Odawara Hilton (if you're eating breakfast there, look at the plates that say "Spausa" for an artifact of what the place used to be).

And since when has the "Hyatt Regency" been a luxury brand? Would you make the same complaints about the Hyatt Regency Tokyo?
