Very nice lobby with comfortable seating, too. All the families I talked to were quite happy with the hotel.
August and January are 2 very different months in Old Port Area, its virtually deserted in January with most shops closed and ice covered narrow cobble streets make walking difficult. I go with Snoopyo, use your Hyatt Status and stay in The Underground city.
