Review of Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay 4*

Value: If you can get this hotel on a promotion, it's a good value. Otherwise, spending top dollar might be depreciated by some of the following aspects. Room: (Standard King, non-smoking) The bathroom was clean and modern with a very nice large shower. The door to the bathroom was HUGE and requires a bit of creative problem solving to be able to close it once you're inside. The entry to the room was inviting and it was nice to have a single serving coffee/tea brewer as well as a fridge! The bed was comfortable and the bedding was clean. Unfortunately, the room was not impervious to hallway noise or conversations (I did not hear any neighboring room noise though). I could literally hear every word of the conversation a guest was having with housekeeping. Several times I heard a door open or close and I had to peek around the corner to see if it was mine! The doors do have an additional lock and stopper for security (I DID feel safe), and I didn't notice during the night (probably because people weren't moving about the hallways. ) I had a view of the water, which I was looking forward to watching the sunrise or the early morning atmosphere, but my window was filthy! Definitely in need of a wash for people to enjoy the view. Staff: A++ They were amazing. Laura at the front desk was incredible at check-in, she made me feel so welcome and was extremely personable. The room service staff were very kind and respectful. Everyone was kind and helpful :) Food: WOW! I ordered the Cuban Pizza (it's like the pizza version of a Cuban sandwich), it was amazing! The flavors were fantastic and the crust was pure perfection! Summary: If you can find this at a promotion rate, it is an excellent place to stay! Otherwise, you'll probably get a better value for your money elsewhere. Great staff! Excellent food! I can't give it 5 stars because of the hallway noise and the dirty windows obstructing the view.
