Hyatt Sainte Claire Hotel

Pros: Graceful architecture, attractive courtyard, handsome lobby
Cons: Quirky furnishings, somewhat tired in a few places, marginal dining room

The Hyatt Sainte Claire is a pleasant older hotel with a good deal of character. Character is not something one usually finds at a Hyatt hotel, so if you have expectations of glitzy atria and revolving restaurants, you may have to go ...

Pros: extremely comfortable beds, convenient location
Cons: very small rooms, housekeeping starts very early, don't replace beauty products every day

A few weeks ago I attended a Sharp Symposium in San Jose where Sharp introduced a select group of PDA and Linux notables to their new Zaurus 5500 Linux PDA. I stayed at the Hyatt Sainte Claire, the venue of the event, for three nights.

Pros: Haunted, historical landmark, beautiful restoration work done throughout whole building
Cons: Some people have little appreciation of bygone times and will always prefer the Fairmont

Pros: Good location, good bathroom amenities, Hyatt dependability, classic style, affordable, Il Fornaio restaurant in lobby
Cons: Thin walls, small rooms that need updating, sometimes questionable decor, lackluster mini-bar

Pros: Location, elegant lobby
Cons: Noisy, small, old rooms, smell of mildew

The Story: I was going to a concert with my husband while our baby was merely three months old. Afraid to leave him for the night (we would be staying over), my mother selflessly declared that she would watch my son in our hotel room and ...

Pros: Staff; Location; Price; Quality
Cons: Have to Book in advance

I was pleasantly surprised with my visit to the Hyatt Sainte Claire. While a lot of hotels today are so impersonal, this hotel has a very friendly staff in addition to a beautiful historic hotel.

I was told that this hotel dates back to...

Pros: Excellent staff, nice restaurant, interesting history, location.
Cons: parking, thin walls, needs updating.

First off the staff was very professional. They attended to my needs very...
