• Pool was fine, but no frig or micro in room.
• Charged for parking and $4 a bottle for water is rediculous.

“This is an over rated hotel in that it does not provide basic amenities like frig and micro.”

• Convenient location; no hassle check in.
• Looked worn down, hallways were shabby, rooms very small and other than bedding, rooms seemed dated.

“Overpriced for what you get compared to today's version of 3.5 star rated hotels. Also, for a Hyatt, seemed on the very low end of what Hyatt's usually offer in the way of ambiance, and luxury.”

• Great location.
• Paying for parking is horrible, such a scam.

“A Balcony would have been nice, but no big deal. The hot tub on the roof was great but the bubble jets didn't seem to work like they should have.”

• Comfortable bed.
• Ac barely cooled, smelled like cig smoke, unfriendly staff, no parking, small bathroom,

“Unfriendly staff, everyone had their hand out for a tip that they did not deserve! No parking, dirty pool, small bathrooms with no vents for steam, toilet is very noisy, ac barely cools, room and halls smell like cig smoke & I bought a smoke free room. It took 45 minutes to get a bell boy to get my bags to leave. Old style TV, no internet in the room provided. Cheap shower head for a cheap shower! Very disappointing stay!”

• The room was very clean and the staff was very friendly.

“Overall the stay was good. The only thing that they should tell people that if you want to park yourself it will cost you $14/day. Valet is 18/day but I didn't know until I got there.”

• Its location was nice and so was the roof top pool.
• getting suckered into paying 20 bucks a night to park. wasn't factored into hotel price.

“Overall a nice hotel, however the parking ticked me off. 20 bucks to park overnight. I can see why I got this hotel for 79 dollars for one night. That really makes this hotel a 100 night hotel. I wouldn't have paid that for sure. It was a clean hotel with nice amenities, but I'm still amazed how hotels like this still charge for internet access. I can stay at a low end hotel and I'll get that free every time with a free breakfast. Again, this was a nice hotel, but definitely not worth the money through priceline and clearly not through their normal rates(140/night + parking + internet=170/night).”

• Location.
• Had to pay to park.

“On checkout, another family was waiting for their vehicle for about 20 minutes. 2 families were not told that the the vehicles were at some other place besides where it was dropped off. Service desk should have informed us instead of wasting our time waiting.”

• The car valet parking people were very professional and courteous, especially their manager.
• One young man bar attendant ignored one evening when I was there and I just left but the older bar attendant men were always friendly & professional.

“The hotel in general was very pretty and exotic as most Hyatt Regency Hotels in big cities downtowns. Amenities were very good, hotel room were cleaned daily but the cleaners however seems to be disturbing or harassing guests to clean the rooms. The Cleaners just keep on knocking doors and shooting house cleaning even if you hadn't disturbed stick on your door. I found out they were just trying to make sure they did their cleaning but not per say to disturb, but if you were first timer guest you might consider it a disturbance. I have been in the hotel for a full week and so I knew it was not bad intention but must however be addressed because most of them could not read the English sign of not disturbed on the door. Generally, I liked, enjoyed my stay at the hotel and would highly recommend it to others.”

• This place was a dump and the staff was rude and unhelpful.

“I can not believe this was a Hyatt Regency. I always believed that signified quality, if not luxury. We had 3 rooms for our party. One was infested with biting bugs fleas or bedbugs, not sure which, but we left covered in bites. Another was so full of mold it set off my kids' allergies. And when I went to advise the staff of the problems with our rooms, they acknowledged that they were already aware of the problems yet they assigned us the rooms anyway. I have never gotten such poor quality from any hotel in my life. I will absolutely never stay in this place again and will warn any traveler to do likewise. Hyatt should be ashamed of themselves!”

• Perfect hotel for a short stay - convenient downtown location with swimming pool, fitness center, and comfortable lounge area.
• Drop off area was always crowded and parking is expensive at $18 a day.

• Excellent location.
• No parking, valet only for $18 plus tip.

• It was clean.
• Parking.

“The clerk at check in was very rude! I asked for a room with one bed, quite away from the elevator, she gave us a room with two double beds and right next to the elevator, which dinged and announced which floor was next all night. She said that was the only room available for the next four nights, we checked in at 9:00 pm, not too late.”

• Nice little fride in room.
• Under major construction and dirty carpet in room.

“The room wasn't too bad (great addition of the mini fridge made up for the dirty carpeting and tub). They are doing major renovations and turning it into a Best Western. The staff was more focused on that than on us, the handful of customers who were still there. Woke up to someone painting our balcony and totally unaware of us in the room. They should have thrown in free breakfast or something to apologize for having to walk through a construction site every day. No one even asked how our room was or anything. Also, there isn't anything else within walking distance so you definitely need a car to get to a restaurant or shops. The on site one had the worst pancakes I've ever had. On the plus side, the shuttle driver and the bell man were super nice guys and took time to talk to us.”

• Very luxurious.
• Very tiny bathroom.

“Overall it was great - the restaurant, lounge and room service met my needs. The staff was amazing and always very friendly and helpful. The only minor downfall was that there was no refrigerator in the room and the bathroom was very tiny - but that was very minor compared to the wonderful amenities and service. I would definitely stay there again.”

• Bathrooms were
  very small.

“The location was wonderful for us, the pool and hot tub were great. The bathrooms were very small, and hard for two people, but the bed was very comfortable. We were traveling with friends and they commented that their rooms were warm and they could not control the temperature. We didn't have that problem.”

• Great location for events at St. Petes Forum.
• Broken elevators, and poor maid service.

“Very nice hotel, with a great location for events at the St. Pete Times Forum Arena. Like a good business, they fill up with large groups on weekend. Like a bad business, they have a full hotel, and only 1 or 2 of their 4 elevators working. Would have to wait 5 or 10 minutes for an elevator, only to find it jammed full when the doors open. Took stairs up and down from 13th floor. After first maid visit, she took all the drinking glasses and coffee cups and didn't replace them. She also failed to leave coffee for the coffee maker. Later she failed to replace the coffee cream, I used. Cleaned room fine though. I had read a review advising to avoid the hotel's expensive parking service, and use the near-by parking garages. That was a good idea.”

• Easy access from streets and interstate. Clean and nicely decorated.
• Front desk staff was friendly but not really warm.

“This is a nicely appointed and convenient hotel to the downtown area of Tampa. It is on public transportation lines, close to the cruise port and convention center. Rooms are large, modern, well decorated and appointed with granite counter tops in the bath and coffee in the room. Beds were comfortable and double sheeted for cleanliness. I would stay here again without hesitation.”
