WaiWai, Based on your review and preference, I would stay away from this property. But for some of us, this property does its job - a decent lounge and a place to sleep. No other bells or whistles necessary. And sometimes is the cheapest Hyatt in the area. .
If is any help to other Globs, ask for a double bed room behind the elevators. Those are larger rooms and full size bath rooms. And is very quiet. They consider this an "upgrade" for Globs.

There you go again with your highly personal feelings about the lounge. Your lounge observations just don't mesh with reality … as pictures posted by LIH Prem
Even Wai Wai had a positive comment about the lounge in his "never again going back" review...
"we found the club to be well stocked, and although exceedingly crowded, the wait for things like the coffee machine were never long. The food was excellent and abundant."
I know I know, for you is all about "free BOOZE" Good luck with that in 99% of US lounges...

For reward stays is the $15 market credit included? Just finished a stay, and they said since they don’t charge the resort fee it is not included. We are Explorist so no globalist exception.
Makes sense since that saved us $80 over two nights, but not clear at all in the booking process where it warns about the fee and credits available multiple times including the confirmation emails.
TIA

And since when does a slightly larger room qualify as a "corner suite"?

I haven't stayed here in a couple years, but I didn't find it so bad. The lounge is fine (for a USA lounge), especially if the weather is nice enough to enjoy the outdoor deck (which also helps with possible crowding). I've never had a suite upgrade, but I didn't expect it. Rooms are small but this is NYC. I picked the property for the location (and a few more Hyatt nights) and my biggest disappointment is that whenever I've been invited to the elite top roof deck viewing/tour with the concierge, the weather has forced cancellation of the event.
