10/10 Excellent
"Hotel is in excellent condition - clean, very well maintained. Guestroom was very clean; I used to work in hotels so I am trained to spot potentialissues. The staff was the highlight though - professional, friendly, thoughful. Front Desk manager Mark is a star, offered late checkout which was a lifesaver (I hadn't even thought about it). I am so glad I stayed at the Hyatt Regency."
