Based on recent posts (May 2023) the Grand Club is open with a nice-looking evening spread and is accessible via room key at other times.
AirTrain is generally recommended, but if you really want to walk from the terminals to the hotel, it's entirely possible (pictorial instructions in post 344)

The location is pretty darned close to where the on-airport SF
Hilton used to be many years ago.

They need to be reported
Diamond recognition is a separate topic from your individual concerns IMHO
If you have service issues you should address them in the individual property thread and or report it to Hyatt Guest Relations

I don't doubt that you have had service failures

And yes, I have complained and got some points in compensation. As well there is a standing open invitation for free lunch or dinner from this property. But I do not think I will take them up on it.
I had stayed several times at this property and do not think they are outstanding. YMMV as you are a regular at this property and ex-Hyatt-alumni. I just stated my opinion. Hope you do not mind.

Dear 777: "Diamond recognition is a separate topic from your individual concerns". Why so? I am a Hyatt Diamond and this is my evaluation of Diamond recognition at this property. Does it not count?

Upgrades and amenities that make up Diamond recognition are separate from service issues that aren't Diamond specific.
Your experience is certainly respected and understood as well as appreciated
To be fair this thread is really dedicated to the new Grand Hyatt in SFO
Stay experiences good and bad really belong in the Grand Hyatt DFW thread as do all our comments related to that property
Be nice to get back on topic!
Though we are all guilty of going off topic from time to time
I'm the champion there
In closing hotel failures happen all over the world if a property makes a gesture that means a lot to me as a guest which says we expect you to have a good experience.
In almost all cases I will be back unless the property have really crossed the line.Many concerns are likely to be isolated and forgiving is a good thing
if its a good establishment and you can likely have a positive experience on a future stay if not by all means move on!
We appreciate your participation on Flyertalk and the Hyatt forum^
Cheers

Yes, we were all off the topic of the thread. My bad.

This is good news for for Bay Area travelers, as I hate waiting for the shuttle when you arrive late and want to go to bed, bonus points that it's going to be a Grand Hyatt!

What does the construction site look like today? I had completely forgotten about this project and didn't pay attention when I was last driving by the site four months ago.

Looks like it should have some really nice tarmac views!
Imagine that; three years after it was announced, and the opening is still on track for 2019!
Here's the hotel website:
https://sfo.grand.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html
Located at the entrance to SFO Airport, Grand Hyatt at SFO will sit on a 4.2 acre site close to terminal buildings and parking garages with direct accessibility via an AirTrain station to the terminals. Slated to open in summer 2019, the 351-room hotel will have a fitness center, restaurant, bar and 15,000 sq ft of flexible meeting and event space.

SFO is extending the Blue Line AirTrain from the Rental Car Center to the Lot DD Long-Term Parking Structure. This project includes two new AirTrain stations (one at Lot DD and one at the new on-Airport hotel) and system upgrades. As a result, periodic shutdowns of some roads around the Airport, as well as periodic nighttime shutdowns of the AirTrain, will be necessary through 2020 when the project is complete.
There is also construction on the new T1 which is impacting the AirTrain.
AFAIK, it's closed 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., not all day.
The new SFO normal, thanks to Uber and Lyft (which I am guilty of supporting).

The AirTrain was out all day for several of the days I was passing through SFO last month, so I am guessing there's closures on top of that.
