I stayed there recently for three nights, and before that two years ago. The lobby area is looking quite cool, and I liked the toiletries. The bar and restaurant have reopened, but breakfast is still in the round tower off the lobby. This time I used the large pool and steam room in the sports club over the bridge, which is well equipped and spacious but not particulary chic in its decor. If the weather's hot the upscale foot court downstairs has some good eating options for an inexpensive lunch -- there's soup, vegetarian food, sushi, and a suprisingly good cheesesteak.
I'm now only a Platinum rather than a Diamond with Hyatt, and if there were any in-hotel benefits I missed them. No free coffee delivery. Got a small room. The quality of furniture and finishings was quite high, and they did not seem worn, but it did not have the minimalist modern Park vibe of my rooms at Tokyo, Milan, Chicago, Hamburg, or the former SF location.
The government rate there is very reasonable, and it's a good location. When I lived in Philly I used to drink at the bar quite often. I've certainly got no complaints for the money. Just don't expect the Park Hyatt experience. Then it's the only Park Hyatt I've ever paid for in cash rather than points or FFNs.
