Guest aldo Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 bbbb,Be prepared for mass insanity that weekend. Downtown HB on the 4th of July is absolutely crazy because of the crowds and partiers. I see so many PL'ers booking this deal- this hotel will be a zoo. We stayed there twice last summer, and it was party central. A fun time if you're a college student, or if you just love to party, but for us- we couldn't wait to go home.My suggestion- park your car and leave it, as there will be tons of traffic. It's a bit of a walk to downtown (if you want to see the parade on the morning of the 4th), but there's a walk/bike path on the beach side of PCH that will take you there. Take the bridge from the hotel that goes over the highway to the beach, then walk north from there. Good luck, have fun, and be safe.
bbbb Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Posted February 11, 2005 My frist bid was $65 and then the $69 winning bid. The Hyatt.com rate was $265 per night and Hotwire had what I think was the Hyatt for $201.
bbbb Posted February 25, 2005 Author Report Posted February 25, 2005 Does this hotel have a resort fee?
Guest aldo Posted February 25, 2005 Report Posted February 25, 2005 No, but it's valet parking only at $20/day.P.S. In case you were worried by what I wrote before, don't. You're going to have lots of fun. It is a very nice hotel, and the staff is more than accomodating. Try to get a high floor for a better ocean-view (you'll want a room number starting with a 3 or 4). And if you can, stick around for the fireworks show on the 4th. It's spectacular!
bbbb Posted February 26, 2005 Author Report Posted February 26, 2005 I don't think I will see any fireworks,as its a long drive back to PHX and I have to work the next day. Do you have any status with Hyatt and if you do did you get Rc access or a upgrade?
Guest aldo Posted February 28, 2005 Report Posted February 28, 2005 I called the hotel this morning and spoke with the front desk. He says on a Priceline reservation, they still honor Diamond status with amenity, upgrade if available, etc., but no stay credit and only points for incidentals. They will also accept the Platinum Extras cert for upgrade, etc., if available.I'm just Plat myself, and I did use a cert my last stay there in 9-04. It was a busy weekend (sold out/many weddings). I wasn't able to get a room on the RC floor, but I was given a key to the club. Fab view from club patio, food was ok, honor bar (not comp).
