Passing through with some pictures for an update.
1st night was a King room with previous occcupant's beard hairs in the sink. No upgrade given at check-in and didn't really enquire. Points were credited back for this night. No card from GM or any sort of welcome amenity.
Second night had some sort of suite that was really two rooms combined. It would be great for a family of 3 or 4 since the living room has a giant foldaway bed and its own bathroom. Both rooms have giant 75 inch tvs. Very nice to watch March Madness on!
Very lightly renovated bathrooms with shower tub combos. Very good water pressure but still an old feeling to these bathrooms.

That sucks. It's a rather good redemption property when rates are high during peak times.
The hotel could use a solid reno to make it a competitive property. I wonder what the impact of the nearby Choice Hotel The Curtiss had on occupancy preCovid.

The Hyatt name will remain...for now
https://news.wbfo.org/post/hyatt-nam...-remainfor-now
The Hyatt Regency Buffalo will remain a part of the Hyatt hotel chain, at least for now.
The Snyder Corporation, the parent company of Genesee Hotel Properties, which owns the facility, filed suit Thursday against the Chicago-based hotel chain. The lawsuit comes after the chain announced last week it was ending its management agreement.
A State Supreme Court restraining order issued on Friday blocks Hyatt from "ceasing performance" under the agreement in effect when the hotel opened in 1984. That means the 396-room hotel can continue operating under the Hyatt name in the meanwhile.
The Hyatt departure was due to take effect Monday, the same day the hotel was scheduled to reopen after a two-month long closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A court hearing is scheduled for June 15 to consider a preliminary injunction "pending a final determination." Some 350 full- and part-time employees work at the Hyatt.
