Hyatt Regency Monterey: A dump?

I read many reviews here on this website about the Hyatt Regency in Monterey and many people have the same complaints. Has anyone here stayed at the Hyatt Regency?

I went to biddingfortravel.com and they also had a Monterey forum that discussed hotels.

Well, I dunno. AAA gives it a three diamond rating. It has all of the amenities. If you want to have a three-diamond experience, in Monterey, then I suggest you get a copy of the AAA Northern California Guide and look at the reviews for all of the three-diamond ratings in Monterey...there are LOTS of them. Good luck.

Here is the story on the Hyatt. People stay there more for the amenities - golf course, tennis courts, restaurant, cafe, sports bar, etc.. The rooms are fairly basic for a 3-star hotel. People are the most upset when they compare this Hyatt to some of the other Hyatt%26#39;s they have stayed in at resort locations around the country.

The rooms are not bad. Just not a room you would take a picture of to show your friends how great it was. One word of advice - when you book make sure you follow up with a phone call directly to the hotel and request that you have a room near the lobby in buildings 1-9. Most of the complaints come from people staying in the ';garden section'; -- a section of the hotel originally constructed in 1955. It has been updated over the years but the exterior looks very motelish and the rooms are quite close to the highway.

Thanks so much for your input. I just booked the Hyatt through priceline for $95/night.

That is, I booked the last 2 nights via priceline for $95/night but for the first few nights i booked the Lighthouse Lodge in Pacific Grove for $97/night. May 27th was the most difficult to book as all the rooms are sold out everywhere. Someone told me to try the strip of hotels in Seaside.
