The staff was great but the accommodations, not so much. Horrible mattress. It was like sleeping on an old mattress covered with plywood & a pillowtop mattress cover. Every time you move/roll over it crunched. It didn't matter that the bed was horrible because you won't sleep with all the street noise anyway. This was an expensive lesson. No more Hyatt's for us, my body can't handle it. Breakfast was good.

The hotel location was great with its access to the Skywalk system. The staff were amazing & very helpful. The hotel looked great. Everything was very clean. And, breakfast was delicious! However, the beds were VERY uncomfortable. We hardly got any sleep. The mattresses and pillows were worn down. Plus, the beds creaked loudly with even the slightest move.
