| Ryoko_aiwa's Full Review: Hyatt Regency Columbus |
Intro: Welcome to the Hyatt Regency rating. I hope that you find it informative and I hope that you had a good stay there.
Summary: good hotel/ lack of enough elevators/ connected to convention center
Start review:
Hyatt is awesome!!!
We went here for a competition for BPA (Business Professionals of America) so I can not rate the check in or dealing with the staff...
We got in right away considering previous years you had to wait till 3 for this kind of event.
The hotel is very nice but they only had 4 elevators for 20 floors (and 3 floors of nothing but concrete and the elevator skipped floor 13 and another).
The rooms were average for a hotel and had the same features most do. (Coffee maker, etc) the room also had 2 phones. The room was not decorated very fancy and had modern artwork on the walls.
Also the room had a good showerhead.
As some of you requested, I cannot rate the service of the hotel. I can however rate the service of the restaurants, which ranged from good to average. The travel store was great! They had purses there for 3.99!!! Which was a good deal considering most of the stuff there was really expensive! But the American Hamburger place took too long (10 min) to just give me French fries! But Subway was fast!
The pool was the size of my family room!!!!! 20 x 36 ft. way smaller than the Amerihost Inn!
They even charge for calling 1.800 numbers on your room phone!
Papa johns were not very good at their deals. They had the 9 buck deal (large 1 topping) with free cheese sticks but they wanted to charges us 16 for making it supreme!!!!
But the guy who delivered it was ok...
Be careful! Most places will not deliver to the Hyatt!!
So then,
we went to the weight room after running up and down 24 flights of stairs! and the wieght room was pretty well equipped but the exercise bikes would not stay on.
At the dance and they played the music way too loud!!!
We were only in there for 20 min.....
Too much midrange
And then I took my shower ( the shower heads were really good better than the one in my house)and i went to bed....
Then in the morning we headed out and we went to a theater and the ceremony began and the picture of me kissing nick with the purse was on the big screen opening!!! only 2 form out school made it to the top 10 Daniel -> computer troubleshooting Kristen / Shawn -> web page design
so we left disappointed!!!!
Grrrrr!!!
Oh well
awesome expeeerince for me!!!
Had a really nice time!!!!!!
Good/Bad points: good: showerhead/great integration with convention center Bad: not enough elevators/ no continental breakfast provided/ very small pool
Overall: good overall with some good features for businesses/ connected to convention center /
Marks:
Rooms: 8 /10 Comment: average but pretty clean
Service: N/A/10 Comment: did not deal with staff
Features: 8/10 Comment: all the standards plus extra
Stay: 7/10 Comment: very fun time there!
Comfort: 7/10 Comment: pretty comfy there, other than elevators and lack of freebees / needs bigger pool
Overall comments: good/moderate hotel. This is one of the upper class but has become my comparison hotel chain,
Why you’d benefit: If you had an event in Columbus, I’d pick this hotel! It’s connected to the convention center and it is close to most of the attractions in Columbus. I find it very easy to get around and I find that there are enough amenities at the location for businesses, but however, they do charge for 1-800 calls on the room phone, so I had to use the payphones at the food court to call. If I were to stay here I would have a cell phone because the rates on the phones are very ridiculous! The rooms have coffee makers, irons, blow driers, and most of the things that you’d find at home. The rooms are average size for 2 but can be crowded for more people than that.
