As I post my travel comments you will notice that most of my hotel visits have been at Hyatt Hotels and Resorts. This has not been by accident. I have been traveling on business and pleasure for over 40 years. I have stayed in major and some smaller cities, resorts in the desert southwest, and ocean front properties. I find that I get the best choices, rates, and comfort at Hyatt properties.
I don't mean to put down other hotel chains. There are some fine Marriott, Hilton and Sheraton properties and even a few good budget hotels that I would recommend but overall Hyatt offers the best.
Have I had bad experiences at Hyatt properties...you bet, the Hyatt Regency in Monterey California is one. The last time I stayed there was fall 2005. I was very disappointed, the room I had was dirty, old and worn. I couldn’t see out the sliding patio door because it was so dirty. Also, the Hyatt resort in Mission Bay San Diego, bad room, poor maintenance, and unclean. I understand these two hotels have been remodeled but I hesitate to visit them again.
For budget hotels I recommend Hampton Inn but a word of caution here, some of them are pretty bad. I understand that Holiday Inn Express hotels are good but I haven’t stayed at any.
So for me it is Hyatt, my overall satisfaction rate is 4 ½ stars.
