Felix

Liked: Cleanliness
The area is very nice, ocean view and pine trees. The building lacks good sound proofing - you can hear people on both sides walking, like they are walking upstairs. The restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and there no restaurants close-by. Parking is a bit far from rooms, so it's a walk up and down hills.

Friendly and helpful staff. Enjoyed the Pacific edge restaurant. The service was on point. The valet was so helpful with getting luggage to our rooms…it is the highlands with lots to climb. Shout out to Carlos for stepping up and getting us sorted out. The room was super clean and up to date thanks to the cleaning staff. We also enjoyed the bar at sunset service was impressive.

Not a Hyatt

It’s fine. What you’d expect from a basic hotel. Certainly not the caliber of a traditional Hyatt. The high point was the service at the front des, especially “Austin” was excellent and the service in the restaurant.

The beautiful views of the ocean. Rooms close enough to listen to the sound of the ocean waves. Relaxing, clean, and peaceful rooms. Feels rural, yet close to shopping, great coffee, and restraunts. People in the area are super friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This hotel was very nice. The view from the hotel was amazing. We were in room 513 which did not have a view - it only looks at the rooms in front of it. The room was clean. The beds were super comfy. The sheets were quality. The front desk staff was helpful and friendly. Our only complaint was the noise - the room above us was LOUD. Maybe the floors are super thin because we were awakened every day way before daylight with floor noise over our heads that was well above average noise level. We would definitely stay here again but maybe look at the rooms to determine a room that has a nice view.
