Even though the hotel is under construction our stay was very good! the staff was very courteous & quick service when asked. Location excellent from Seaworld, your within walking distance! Our rooms were nice & clean. Overall we would definitely stay again & looking forward to seeing the renovation of the grounds & several swimming pools!

they told me in advance that they were under renovation. lobby was very small and cramped. when i checked in i was offered an upgrade to either the tower or to a 3 level building that had bigger rooms. i chose the bigger room and it was basically a junior suite with a seperate living room, nice bathroom (except for low flow shower), nice bedroom and nice view of boats in their slips. room was very clean and nice and nice upgrade with no upcharge. the parking valet is very busy and not very well attended. the $14 parking charge was a bit much for what it was.

This hotel is located in Mission Bay, off the 8 Fwy near Seaworld. My initial impression from several stays in 2006 was that it is not deserving of the Hyatt name (more details below), but it is in the middle of a multi-million dollar renovation project and I stayed in one of the renovated rooms in January 2007. The renovated room was a vast improvement and I was told all renovations will be completed by July 4.
The hotel is not ideally located as there isn't much to do or eat in Mission Bay. It is a $15 taxi ride to downtown, or $14 for self-parking. In my opinion, the self-parking system is in need of change. The process is you get a parking tag from the front desk during check-in, then you have to walk back to the car to hang the tag on the central rearview mirror. Definitely not the most user friendly or efficient system for self-parking.
The hotel has a tower building and several bi-level buildings that resemble cheap motels. I have not stay at the bi-level buildings so no comments will be provided. In the tower building, unrenovated guest rooms are certainly not Hyatt standard as they have a very dated 1970s look and feel to them, from the shower (there is no shower caddy/shelf to hold toiletries, and some showers drips or have yellow stains), flimsy front door to the general furniture. During the current renovations, worker begin dismantle the rooms at 9 am, so avoid this hotel if you plan on sleeping late.
I stayed at a renovated corner room this week, and the changes were immediate observable. The front door is sturdy, the bed (and bed sheets) is new, and the entire bathroom was changed also. Unfortunately the shower area still does not have a shelf to hold toiletries. The corner room also has a plasma TV.
The hotel pool is closed during the renovation project, but there are several artists' impressions of what the pools will look like upon completion, which includes water slides. There are also new signs around the hotel, and it looks like it will be re branded from Hyatt Regency Islandia to Hyatt Regency Mission Bay when all the renovations are done.
