My experience at this property appears to be different than yours, as I did not encounter any "stinky hallways and popcorn ceilings". The property is a bit dated but not much different than the generic HR.
As for the "sky high rates", I have a corporate discount so it's not bad (but not great) for business, and the points redemption is not awful for the few times that I need to be there for pleasure
Its an old Radisson rebranded as a Hyatt with clusters of old buildings and musty hallways near the pool area with heavy use of air freshener
I tried two rooms but never returned.The old HR Irvine felt like a Grand Hyatt in comparison. Experiences certainly can vary and the main building was slightly better
