Some updates:
- Hotel provided robes and slippers upon request. One of the more unique robes too - big dragon on the back haha. Front desk said they were removed from rooms to save on costs. Feels a bit strange but so goes things during covid.
- Their setup from Work From Hyatt is great. It’s not just another room or random area on the 2nd floor social space like most hotels but a separate room that’s been converted into an office. Complete with a comfy gaming chair, printer, fridge, sitting area with rug and chairs.
- Funny thing is there are no weight scales either for in room use or in the gym. I guess I can pause my diet now :-)

The WFH setup here is pretty good - they actually rent those “offices” out for day use office spaces too. It makes a big difference since the “desk” in the room is a little awkward (slightly too high, not quite deep enough, the chair isn’t adjustable, etc).

Breakfast credit is good. $20 pp. Used for both. Chinese restaurant much better than diner but that’s just personal preference. Portions are big and taste is good. It’s really like $15-16 bc of taxes and fees but honestly one entree was a lot of food. Couldn’t finish it multiple days. Diner has good American options but kind of average. Pancakes were a miss but that might just be all delivery pancakes.

Hotel 2nd floor social space has a nice setup too. Plates, glasses, and microwave make it easy to reheat things if needed.

Just confirmed an upgrade into the Kindred Suite ADA for a week in November. They said the Kindred ADA and Bowery Suite ADA are the two rooms avaialble for upgrades but unfortunately Bowery wasn't available during the nights I'm there. Will check back to see if it comes available in the future.

Hyatt Prive rate is particularly lucrative at this property. Free breakfast for 2 (no status required), $75 property credit once per stay, room upgrade, and is combinable with free 4th night promo they are currently running.
I'm happy to book any Hyatt Prive rates for FTers, just PM me.

Hmm any idea what the property credit is good for? I see on their website there's a rooftop bar (The Crown). If I could hazard a guess, it'd be for (1) the bar, (2) on-site grab-n-go market, and (3) maybe more vouchers at Two Bridges or Jing Fong (e.g. lunch, din)?
