Hyatt Place Las Vegas REVIEW - MASTER THREAD
 

any comments on this property?

any shuttle to/from LAS/Monorail/strip?

TH ... My catsitter was just there I'll get some info on it later today!

You have a cat sitter????? :eek:

I spent a couple of weeks there last month (April 2008). I never went to The Strip. It'd have been a pretty long walk. I know they did some shuttling. Wish I could answer.

HP Las Vegas Delivers/ Review
 

The good news for me
I found Hyatt Place Las Vegas to be my first HP without a window AC unit.
No Motel 6 affect.^
The way all of them systemwide should have been mandated to do to make for a higher quality brand standard
The building was actually constructed like a normal hotel.
what a pleasure

It doesn't have the best looking or largest HP lobby I have seen (small nice enough) however it has a very nice breakfast area which is very large and a hard working staff.
And most important an excellent pro-active General Manager who cares about our/guest satisfaction.^
Something that varies at many a Hyatt Place because some of them are still tainted by the Amerisuites culture
I rank this as one of the best Hyatt Places I have stayed at with one caveat the sound proofing can be a bit weak. That said many of them suffer worse then this one as they did nothing to solve pre exixting structual problems at most Hyatt Places placing emphasis on public areas and rooms while ignoring the bathroom and other building shortcomings.

While I didn’t hear to much noise from the Las Vegas Airport
I almost fell out of my bed thinking we were having a crash landing on the hotel while the Air Force practiced some military drills over the hotel

I am told that this is not typical but can not verify.
And I do plan a return to test the waters again.
There is something nice about avoiding all the mayhem of the big casino hotels and parking nightmares.As well as having Hyatt stay credit/points/miles, a big flat screen, a fridge and business center to boot. Quick check in quick check out at this property by friendly caring agents is a plus
My check in agent seemed genuinely interested in welcoming me to the property.
The housekeeping was excellent too, everything seemed fresh and new and none of those awful lobby stinky scents or fumes from sprays was used in the rooms.
For those addicted to using GPS units watch out as the directions takes you slighty out of the way/ the wrong way into a dead end one way street.
I had to back up and use my brain to figure it out
There was another car doing the same thing we both ended up on the wrong street in an alley.Knew exactly what property they were heading too :)

The usual down sides:
Hyatt Place breakfasts still need impovements in quality and variety.
That said it was the best ones I have had at a Hyatt Place yet ( thats not saying a lot)
The team was very good Hyatt watching over guests at breakfast.
They didn't have newspapers during my stay. The other consistent thing at all Hyatt Places is no mention or understanding of Diamond amenity points.
So get ready as always to request them from the good folks in Omaha

I would go back and try them again if the rate and or promotion was agreeable.One of the best Hyatt Place properties I have stayed in out of the last 20 with the soundproof being my only possible concern.
This has been a 777 global mile hound review and I approve this message ;)

Yes... cat owners need catsitters from time to time when we are on Mileage Runs ;)

She stayed there this past weekend, said it was fine and echoed the sentiment of 777 in regards to the a/c units. Rooms were clean, no moldy smell like she had at her previous hotel (Westin in Chicago) She didn't know of any shuttle transportation, but said it looked to be a 5 min walk to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino from the HP. Breakfast was standard fare as most HP's, wi-fi worked fine for her, no real problems, and she didn't have the Air Force flyover that 777 experienced.

As usual, I am in complete agreement with Triple 7's assessment...minus the fact that when I stayed there last month, I didn't have the privilege of the complementary Air Force Airshow.

For all I know the Air Force show might just be a special high tech option with special air raid sound effects triggered by a button at the front desk when they don't like an elite member. :D

Or perhaps a new amenity that the new marketing folks have intoduced in the Welcome Amenity Diamond selections when the hotel doesn't like your first choices or can't be bothered sending over your 1k bonus to Omaha ;)

The new get even amenity another Hyatt first:)

Next door to Gypsy & Piranha and other gay bars/clubs on the Fruit Loop.

thanks guys
 

thanks for the review, esp the detailed one by 777 ^

I ask about the shuttle to LAS b/c I have an early flight (7A) on my last day and it would be easier to return the car the night before

I can visualize the location

does it have a pool?

Yes, a fairly nice pool. It was really windy when I was there, but the pool was sheltered. And shady.

......er "shaded".

"Yes... cat owners need catsitters from time to time when we are on Mileage Runs "
Wish I could find a friend willing to sit my cat while I am gone-he hates being boarded and always comes back home a wreck.

Now-back to topic. :D

Stayed at this locale one night and really enjoyed it-after moving to the wing of the hotel that was NOT occupied by a large group who had pricelined the place for $40 a night.I fear this might be a real problem with this place.

The bed was super comfie,the staff-while new was very nice and accomodating.

I will stay here again if the price is right-last sunday night it was $45 more than the Planet Hollywood.
Pity because I need a Hyatt stay before the end of the month.

Yes-very convenient for that sort of thing ;)

And right behind the Haufbreau haus-for those that like that sort of thing(is it still an idine place?)

and I do like the Haufbreau haus ^
