Stayed here for one night in November 2008.
I had heard about these newly renovated Hyatt Places and their aiming at Gen-Y, but this was my first time to stay at one.
I must say they did an excellent job. The lobby is open and has lots of seating for small groups. There is an open kitchen that serves prepared meals 24/7 as well as a small snack bar serving Starbucks. We didn't use any of this, but were impressed.
The room was huge with a great setup. It had a very green, modern feel to it. The color palate of the carpet, walls, bedspreads, etc was very eye-pleasing. There was a big flat panel tv that could swivel towards the living area or towards the beds.
The beds were very comfortable as well.
And perhaps the coolest thing was a panel with just about any electronic hook-up you could imagine. Ethernet, s-video, RCA, etc. So you could plug in a laptop and view it on the huge TV.
My only complaints were the old, slow elevators which clearly weren't replaced with the renovation, and access, which was very poor coming from the south (downtown). There was nowhere good to get off coming from the south, so you have to take the access road like 2 or 3 miles before you can cross back under and go back south to where the hotel entrance is.
