Good Fit for Single Parent + Grandma + Kid

We spent 3 nights here for spring break, mid week. It was perfect for us--one parent, one grandparent, and one 7 year old boy.
We had an ocean view room in the tower with 2 queen beds. The beds were very good--I have a bad back, yet didn't wake up stiff. The easy chair in the room was so comfortable I wanted to take it home with me, and my son fell asleep in it every night. Over all, the room was a little cramped, and I missed having a table and chairs instead of a desk. Very clean, great water pressure and loads of hot water in the shower.
The pool slide was a hit with the kid--from the reviews I didn't realize it was such a long twisty slide. Lifeguard on duty at the top of the slide to regulate kid (and grownup) traffic. The slide pool was only 4 or so feet deep. Grandma and I could lounge poolside with a cocktail and book while kiddo hit the slide for an hour or two. (The slide closes at 4pm, so we used this as bait to leave Sea World by 2pm)
The hotel is really close to Sea World, the concierge has discount tix. I suggest taking a taxi, as the flat rate fare is $6, but it is $12 to park if you drive, and you may end up in an overflow parking lot that is practically back at the hotel!
I can see how the pool would be too crowded during high season. Our final day saw an increase of visitors at the pool, and even though not every lounge chair was taken it did feel cramped. LOTS OF KIDS, not a "romantic" getaway.
Limited food options,but what we ate was great.
A Great Value

Reading past reviews made me nervous but we decided to give it a shot. Our entire stay was wonderful! We were upgraded to a tower ocean view room on the 14th floor. The room was spotless! They had just finished installing brand new carpet which is always a concern in hotels. The front desk, concierge, restaurant, and spa all provided over the top service! We will certainly return! I can not even believe it is the same hotel that some of the other reviews spoke of. They must have made some major changes for the better. If you are debating on where to stay in Mission Bay, stay at the Hyatt, not only for the views and pools, but for the attention to detail and service!
AMAZING hotel

I surprised my husband with a 30th birthday trip to San Diego in mid January 2009. I booked this hotel because we got a great deal and it looked beautiful. After reading some reviews, I was quite worried, but it turns out I had nothing to be worried about! They checked us in two hours early and upgraded us from an Ocean View King to a Ocean View King Corner Suite for FREE! I just requested that we be as high up as possible, and the girl at the desk gave us that room. When we walked into our room, we were thrilled. We were on the 11th floor of the tower and the 180 degree view was gorgeous! The room had two flat screen TVs, a living area, a comfy bed, an awesome stand up shower with glass doors, and everything else we could've possibly wanted! I don't know about the other parts of the hotel, but if you stay in the tower, you can't go wrong. The location is excellent as Mission Bay is very central in the San Diego area. I would stay there over and over again and have already recommended it to many people.
Good Hotel But........

We stayed for 6 nights in Novemeber> The disapointment was this hotel is a very active confrence center. There were people all over the property in the pool area during their breaks.
If you are looking for a resort hotel as we were, you will be disapointed!

The hotel was beautiful. We were welcomed with an upgrade to a marina suite. It was spacious and worked well for our family of 3. The beds were comfortable and it was nice having a living room as well. The suite had 2 tv's. The waterslides were fantasitc for kids. The adults could enjoy them too. The only negative thing about the hotel stay was the Red Marlin Restauant. It was very pricy and the food was just average. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and will plan to stay again.
