You would think that having the Hyatt name it would be a very good property with excellent and flawless service. When I got there I was assigned a room where the bed was not done, there were covers and towels on the floor, TV was on and I think I saw someone on the bed. Did not have a complete look because I did not want to be intrusive even though it was not my fault. I had reserved a jetted tub room and was put on a non jetted tub room without a fireplace as well. Different in price was not given back. Never again even though the rest of the stay was just ok.

We had problems with our check-in. We had booked this almost a year ahead. We are members of the Welk resort. Our request for 2 units next to each other was difficult to secure. Alot of run-around. Finally settled but stressful.

We really love coming to this hotel. It is one of our favorites and we visit every year. Hyatt has done some great things with the property! However, after this visit, we are seriously questioning coming back. One of the main reason we pick hotels is that they have late check out, and the Welk has always been accommodating, until Hyatt took over. They will let you about their late check out policy, which “hasn’t changed” - you must call any time after 7AM to try and get a later time. We always check out on Sunday, since we stay for the 4 day weekend. The last 3 stays, we have called at 7:02AM (literally) and each time they inform us that there are too many guests checked in to give any late check outs. This visit, I asked the front desk who said “weekends are always busy.” So, you, the hotel, know that you are going to have too many people on the upcoming weekend, then DON’T tell us there is a possibility of a late check out and to call at 7AM!!! Just tell us you can’t accommodate it ahead of time. This is SO important, as I work nights and the 2 hours of missed sleep completely ruins the next week’s routine. Something must change about this policy. Either take it away on the weekends and be straightforward about it, or honor what you say and let people check out later. Honestly, you don’t have enough maids to clean 300 rooms in 2 hours, I think they can stagger their times and still allow some rooms to check out late. We may give it one more try. Your move, Hyatt!

I’d give about 3/5. Def a massive property. Less personal being on such a huge property. Our room was really clean but it was a lower suite and had that musty basement odour. Could use some updating on the door handles and outlets but it was a nice big suite. Didn’t like the high pressure time share thing. It feels like a retirement resort to us.
