Wow, I seem to recall someone mentioning the Union Square property was going to be a Centric, but didn't realize the TS location was too. I've stayed here a couple times and actually really like it. It probably ties with Andaz Wall Street for my second favorite property in NYC. I hope it doesn't change too much, or get more expensive. Outside of Wall Street's great weekend rates, the rates are often pretty reasonable here.

Suggest changing the title of this thread, now that this has actually happened.

Don't think it means anything except a name change, at least for now.
Let's hope Hyatt is not planning to follow what Marriott has done by limiting elite benefits at AC properties. Wouldn't be surprised if they're watching that experiment pretty closely.

At this hotel now. Used a DSU to a corner suite and that was a big mistake. Room is nice but right next to the elevators. Elevators are extremely loud. You can hear them running 24/7. You can hear everything that anyone says outside waiting for elevators. Called and thank god they can move us after the first night, but only after proactively looking up open rooms. Staff is pretty good but a total miss last night on the phone.

Restaurant closed for renovations - breakfast beware!
Here on night two of a 2-night stay. Used DSU and was able to secure a Exec. Suite after emailing hotel. Reason was that we are family of four and needed the pull-out in order to accommodate us all. Room is fine. Took Diamond amenity of 2 cocktails at rooftop bar.
Restaurant is closed for renovations and breakfast (buffet) is served at the rooftop bar. While the view is nice, the breakfast was pretty lousy. Food was lukewarm and the french toast was burnt (to a crisp). Selection was not very extensive. While it is free for Diamonds, I cannot see paying the $35 pp they ordinarily charge for this - it is an outrageous price for this low quality of an offering.

I can't even imagine being in one of those suites with 4 people as it was one of the smaller suites I have had at a Hyatt property. When I used the DSU I thought it wasn't a good use of the certificate.

It's not so bad. It is NY afterall, and rooms are small in general. The Exec suite has a separate bedroom that's decent sized, and then a living room with pull-out in it, which is a similar size as the bedroom. The bathroom could be bigger, but for a 2 night stay it worked for us.

I was there New Year's Eve (and the following night). The staff handled things pretty well. The ground floor restaurant was open, and service reasonably good. The biggest problem was one of three elevators serving the high-rise was out-of-service, and elevator waits were long. Another issue they need to resolve is that there is no line for elite nor mobile check-in.

Whether it's a good use of a DSU is debatable - if you're alone or traveling as a couple, perhaps not. But if you need space for 4, from a cost perspective, I think it is as suites are usually pretty expensive in NYC. The alternative is booking an additional room which may or may not work depending on if you're traveling with children and their ages.
