Wow - a whole bunch of FTers here - both Hyatt mods were here too (including me). Sounds like many of us had the same breakfast also!!! There is a consistent problem that should be corrected with the shower temperature control - ours was kind of falling off - my partner could not adjust the temperature to less than scalding - I was able to by pushing the control in while turning it (not how its supposed to work though). Also, agreed that the suite (corner) while very large has a lot of really wasted space - and why am I on the lowest floor compared to everyone else (11) 
. Wifi is tmobile. Decent stay - while I prefer the rooms at the GH, I really prefer the restaurant breakfast - so my future choice will come down to rate.

It seemed like that bar was just meant to make it easier to rotate the base controller and didn't seem to do anything else, so they really should have glued it on or tightened it a lot tighter if it's falling off for everyone!
Another tip for anyone staying there - toilets are dual flush environmentally friendly ones. It seemed the longer you hold down the button, the better it flushed (although that may have defeated the environmentally friendless of them).

Are any of you who stayed for two nights under the GP5000 bonus rate going to also try for the G bonus that was also going on this weekend? I had to request both me W1 and GP5000 be added to the folio that was slipped under my door, and they showed on the final folio. Did not press the G bonus at the time of checking out though. As for the breakfast, I particularly like the way they finish their potatoes.
Not sure how they handled room assignments. I walked over from the Sheraton dinner and checked in, then headed down Olive to the Westin to pick up my checked bag. May have been the first FTer to check in that evening, though of course confirmed suite upgrade may weeks ago.

Well I didn't "steal" anyone's upgrade since I confirmed my suite upgrade a couple of months ago.
My AAA rate does not qualify for GP5000, so won't be trying for that.
I did tell the front desk that all the shower temperature controls probably should be checked based upon comments here.

Well for FTers in town - it was the end of the StarMegaDo2 (although most of those people were at the Westin) and a moderator meeting (about 40 altogether - which is why your Hyatt mods were there) which was also at the Westin but people were more scattered according to their hotel chain preferences.

Stay posted but not with the GP5000 bonus even though I made a point of ensuring the desk clerk inserted it into the bonus field. In Japan at the moment so will have to call Hyatt when I get back to NAmerica. Other stay bonuses also not showing properly at other properties either. This is truly Hyatt's achilles heel!

). But Please be advise to call the Hyatt Gold Passport Centre and ask them for the 5000GP Bonus. It is a 3 seconds job, so do not be panic if the 5000GP Bonus Points did not appear in your account for the first week. Just simply call the Hyatt Gold Passport
