I never got around to posting my observation about this hotel from a stay earlier this year. So the exterior of the hotel looks a bit old. I'm surprised by the lack of choices for pillows here. The ones in the room are way too soft. I called guest services and they told me they'll bring their firmest, which was supposed to be a foam. I got it and it only felt marginally firmer. Also, it doesn't look like a foam pillow at least when compared to the one I have at home and at the Marriott hotels I've stayed at. I can confirm that the parking rate have in and out privileges. I like the location and would consider returning, but they gotta sort out the pillow problem.

Based on what I have read, the garage this property uses is operated by a third party. When I looked up the parking rates for non-hotel guests, they appeared to be cheaper (non valet) than what the property charges. I realize Hyatt's rate probably includes in and out privileges, but if I am just going to park the car in the garage during a short stay, doesn't it make more sense to pay non-hotel guest rates? Am I missing something?

Thanks for reporting back. That's what I figured. I think I am going to end up just parking the car there for the duration of my planned stay (probably 2-3 nights), so paying extra for in & out privileges won't be worth it.

Probably best to call them if you have any questions. Hyatt confirmed it before I made the reservation. At check-in, you'll need to give them your license plate. The parking lot is opened 24/7. I went in and out at various times throughout the day. No problem whatsoever.

For those that have been to this property before, which room do you guys prefer? I got a room facing east so I couldn't really see a sunset. The view was still good though. I recalled seeing the mountains to the north and the Fairmont hotel.

Most Club lounges have been closed for the past 6+ months and will likely remain closed for some time. I don't think you could even use a Club Certificate right now.

It's one of the things that has always rubbed me the wrong way about this property, they always close their club multiple times a year.

I'm currently at this property right now. I can confirm the lounge and restaurant are closed. Globalists are entitled to a continental breakfast. It's exactly as sound. There's no hot food.

The lounge always had hot food for breakfast and personally I really don't like Mosaic Restaurant. Unless you have a really good rate I'd rather stay elsewhere under these circumstances. Sheraton Wall Center also has their lounge closed but they offer a full hot breakfast at the restaurant.

I've been to that Sheraton before and yes, there is breakfast in the restaurant. That's it. I'm not that happy with the Sheraton's location though.

I need my nights to qualify for Globalist. I've already accrued 100 EQNs with Marriott. I also like that this Hyatt have a very reasonable park and stay rate. It's also next to a subway station. The location is simply excellent.

I agree, I like the Hyatt location a bit better compared to Sheraton.
