March and another conference! This time at the Hyatt Regency and again this place knows how to run a large event with great precision! Check in was easy and efficient, again always nice to meet friendly staff. I walked up through the hotel and was pleasantly surprised at the amenities, great big atrium bar and restaurant area, good atmosphere overall.
Once I worked out the elevator system, clever as it is I went to my room and was delighted to see that it was a great size, well appointed and laid out with everything I needed. Wireless was complimentry ( for one device only, anymore meant upgrading your wireless package $15 a day).
The bar and restaurant staff overall were excellent. Breakfast was great and the bar had a good "buzz" about it. I have to say drinks and food reasonably priced and good quality. There is a starbucks too in the conference area if you need a coffee and cake! The hotel also has a fantastic fitness center on the top floor so you can run on the treadmill looking out over New Orleans.
This is a very comfortable hotel, grand in its appearence and really did exceed my expectation in nearly every way, yes there is a "but" coming.The parking is an issue, the only option available is Valet parking which is expensive at over $35 a day, adding tips to this every time you need the car adds up! There is a car park to the right of the hotel as you drive along the street, it has a board saying "hotel parking" but this has nothing to do with the hotel, its misleading. I did bring this up on check-in and apparently they are aware of it but didnt do anything during my stay and once you drive in you will have to pay to get out.
My other niggle is house keeping, the room was never properly cleaned. When I checked in to the room I found a long black hair in the shower, very obvious and off putting. The room was never properly cleaned during my stay, water marks on the table never wiped off, floor not being vacumed and dirty towels left outside my door until 10pm. I did bring this up on check out and the staff apologised and were fantastic about it, taking notes and ensuring it would be looked into.
Would I stay here again? Yes, with the caveat that the house keeping is improved, otherwise i'd definitely recommend this hotel.

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency the weekend of March 23rd.
The hotel and staff were great .Hope to stay again in the near
future. Great job Hyatt and staff.

My first time at any Hyatt, we only had a couple issues but other than that, this Hyatt was amazing to stay at for 3nights-cozy and comfortable and not just the inside of your room, the entire building! Loved the staff...didn't see one member without a smile. March 16th-19th. Took TONS of pics of just the Hyatt alone.
