I found the tel # and called and they answered Carlton Hotel. Nothing about Hyatt or by Hyatt etc etc so I assumed ,Wrongly, that it was a Carlton Hotel which is a part of Choice.
Now the $$$ that I saw they were putting into the place makes sense if they are going to be with Hyatt. Hyatt does have a place in NPB but that place should have a Radisson flag
Remember the old Radisson LAX took a very long time before they placed the Hyatt name on it, due to all the renovations they were doing and wouldnt add the name till they were done. This hotel has tons of work that still has to be done as well, and they will probably do likewise and wait till its done before flaging it as a Hyatt
