When did this place start charging a $23.10/night destination fee? https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/hotel/ca...laxss/policies

the wording suggests $23 of services are expected on the bill , including parking ... so is parking $60 a day, and this extra $23 goes away? or do I need to spend $23 on drinks at the pool?

on property now - This is a new one.
At about 5 folks started shouting on bull horns - thought nothing of it till i couldn't sleep when it became so loud. Apparently the staff is on strike out front and they have people from other hyatt properties in the area helping out with check in, housekeeping, and breakfast.
Breakfast was a catastrophe normally pretty good here - had bananas - oatmeal and bread. Coffee and Orange Juice . Little disappointing given now good the menu is on a typical day.
If they intend on striking through the night do you think Andaz would walk us to alternate or something? seems unacceptable for sleep given how thin the windows are.

What time does the breakfast open here during the week? Have a stay in August where we are leaving for a flight from LAX at 10am and was hoping to get an early breakfast in before heading out.
I will be staying on points... what is the hotel like in terms of complementary upgrades for globalists? Not using an upgrade instrument

Just had a stay here. In general, I thought the rooms were "okay" -- nothing particularly special about them. I liked the informal "no front desk" check in process. But -- despite this hotel being a non-smoking hotel, there was a clear smoke smell in my room when I checked in (a standard King "upgraded" to a "view"). I decided it wasn't worth complaining about, hoping it wouldn't be too bad -- but in the morning I had a taste of cigarette smoke in my mouth and stinging in my eyes. Definitely negatively affected my experience. I mentioned it downstairs and the manager was very gracious about it and offered to comp my breakfast. I accepted. Though I still didn't have a great night's sleep, it was a kind gesture that made me feel a lot better about it. The breakfast buffet wasn't anything write home about, but the tea was quite good.

As a Globalist, chances are you will only be "upgraded" to a King room with a view (high floor) over Sunset Blvd, especially during this time of year with lots of Europeans visiting LA. The room is fine, but nothing incredibly special about it.
I've only been upgraded to their suites, which are quite nice and spacious, on about 4 out of 30 stays as a Glob.
Not sure what time breakfast begins, as I usually go just before it ends at 11AM.
Best of luck to you.

I'm planning on staying here for one night before a three day convention in DTLA. West Hollywood hotels are retailing from $800 to $1,000 a night on the Saturday I need to stay, so redeeming 20,000 Hyatt points for one night seems like a bargain.
1) I have no Hyatt status - any way I can pay for an upgraded room at check in?
2) Is this property less crowded now with the opening of the 1 Hotel and the Edition? Would prefer a less scene-y crowd this trip

Stayed here recently - hotel is fine and service is good, but as someone with no elite status with Hyatt, it didn’t really impress me like other newer properties in the area did (1 West Hollywood, Edition). Pool deck was fun though, and the price was right in terms of CSR points. However unless you really prioritize Hyatt, I’m not sure I would aggressively recommend the property. I will continue to consider it though (behind other area options)

Cycle Bar (1 Day Pass Class or $30 Off)
Starline Tours ($5 off any tour prices starting at $45/adult)
Grammy Museum ($3 Off the adult price of $15)
$261 a night and still charging a "resort" fee. nice
