Stayed here on Saturday 9/10/11-9/11/11. I want to start this off by saying that I normally do not stay at 4-Star hotels, but the Hyatt did seem pretty nice. The staff at the front desk were very helpful and friendly, I was asked by several employees if I needed any help with my luggage and was treated like a gentleman, even though all I was wearing was jeans and a button up shirt. We stayed on the 4th floor of building 12 and although you would think it would have a nice view of the ocean, the view is blocked by the Naval Post-Grad school. When we first walked in I thought the room was rather nice-not quite as good as the other two 4-Star hotels I've stayed in (JW Marriotts-Phoenix and Orlando) but it was very nice nonetheless. King size bed, 32" (or so) flat screen TV with about 25 channels, large desk/entertainment center area, two normal chairs and a nice cushoned chair with an ottoman. Even a light switch for the lights right next to the bed. Bathroom was nice, but nothing completely amazing with a very large backlit mirror and an open shower (no shower door). As a few previous people have mentioned, there is no A/C (evidentially nowhere in the hotel). I even called the front desk and they told me that they didn't have A/C and they depended on the cool Monterey air to cool the rooms. The room also had a ceiling fan with 4 speeds which helped a bit, but the room didn't really need much cooling as it was only in the upper 60s outside. I didn't get to explore the hotel much, but when my date and I got back from Cannery Row (around 10pm), the vast majority of the parking lot was full and we had to park about a 5 minute walk from our room. Nothing that really bothered me, but I'm putting it here just in case anyone has trouble walking or is handicapped. All in all, it was very, very nice and I loved staying there. The only downside is the B.S. "resort fee" that they charge when you leave (they ask for a card for incidentals when you check in and put it on that). They claim it's for "use of the ground, parking and internet" Bull! I tried to access the WiFi earlier as a registered guest and it asked me for $9.99. I thought it was a bit shady of them, but whatever I wasn't going to ruin a perfect weekend by arguing with the hotel people for a hour and trying to get my resort fee back. I would definitely say this hotel is worth staying in, just be aware that you will be paying $20-ish extra for the resort fee.
