As a long time Diamond and Globalist I can't remember when I have ever seen a complimentary parking for a revenue stay when there is a daily charge except on award
Anyone else? |
Front desk clerk told me parking is waived on all rates for globalist, so next time I should not book a rate that includes parking but just the cheapest.
Breakfast is miserable, of course it was free but I would not even pay $5 for the breakfast here |

I enjoyed the breakfast. Did you get the buffet or order off the menu?

Breakfast is like at a Hyatt House, but without the selection. Sausages at Holiday Inn Express are better. 2 juices (cranberry and orange). Also bacon (nothing special), potatoes (just like at Hyatt House), a cooked to order omelette that had no flavor (is that my fault? Like Mongolian bbq where you have to put in the sauce?). Luckily I didn't pay $27 |

Just checked out this past weekend and had the parking fee waived on a cash rate.

Incredibly generous and impressive I wish more hotels would do that!

Buffet. Was told by the staff that was the globalist breakfast.
Ordering off the menu is better if you're not in a rush. |

I don't get what Hyatt Centric hotels are supposed to be. Too big to be boutique. Some with lounges, some without. Pool like limited-service properties.

Quick data point. Arrived yesterday and received 2 small chocolates and a bottle of water at check-in as an Explorist. Was assigned a courtyard view king on the 4th floor (out of 5) so I don't think I got any kind of an upgrade, or even "best available" room. There is apparently a $20 destination fee which wasn't mentioned at check in, but apparently paid for the liter-sized bottle of water waiting for me in my room.
https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/hotel/ca...sfofw/policies When I stayed at this property a couple of weeks ago, I wasn't charged the destination fee. I used a free night from Chase CC for one night and points for the second night. For weekends, the hotel is a bargain on points. For weekdays, it looks like it's better to pay the cash rate. |

Did not have the vibe that the obvious limited-service Marriott and Hilton brands have. Felt more full-service than that. But nothing particularly boutique about it either. |
We will have 3 adults in our double room. Is there a dollar limit for breakfast? Or is it limited to 2 adults? Thanks!

You can't certainly call them a Grand Hyatt as they aren't luxurious as most of them are Its not big enough to truly be a Regency and it certainly isn't a Park Hyatt. To me they are somewhere between Ikea Boutique for a less well healed customer that might prefer the price point to an Andaz or W Hotel or just trying to save some $$$ Hyatt wanted something to differentiate and at the same time appeal somewhat to Millennials on their way up I think it actually works fairly well. Returned form the Honolulu Centric in Honolulu and liked it very much for the price point and didn't care that I was further away from the ocean and beach My only criticisms are no newspapers, pretty awful breakfast (ick) though better than a Hyatt Place and inadequate fitness center. Otherwise nice new and centrally well located with fairly satisfactory service The furniture wasn't high end but had a young stylish vibe on a budget.Which IMO is what Centric aims for which is the in between a low end and a premium property I'd go back in the right situation for a short stay. https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/hotels/2015/01/27/hyatt-new-brand-centric/22388513/ |
