It seems that when people are paying their own expenses they tend to have a critical eye. I, like you, pay my own expenses. $500 is too much for a Hyatt. Four Seasons, maybe. Hyatt, no.
I'm glad someone agreed with me, while others here have claimed their experiences were fine at the PHT. My last experience there was not.
But like I said earlier the hotel is a nice hotel so I will go back on a free night. But I for one am not foolish to pay my own money to stay at this hotel, service issues or no service issues.
As you said, $500 is too much for a Hyatt. And unlike what pickles indicates, this is still just a Hyatt, which means you are paying for just a room. You pay the tax for the bad service.
