Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “Check-In was indeed awkward. No agent supporting the WOH desk so you need to get in the regular line.” 4
- “The check-in experience was quick and friendly - we were informed of the coronavirus protocols at the hotel (which many guests ignored, and there was no enforcement of that), as well as about the facilities.” 11
- “Heated Pool was very warm and had nice views of the bay.” 4
- “I really liked our room and the restaurant. Although staff was attentive, I felt a bit of remoteness at the hotel.” 14
- “Service at breakfast was generally friendly though also not particularly attentive some days. That's fair enough, as this isn't a Park Hyatt, after all.” 11
- “The front desk was helpful at check-in but after that, I couldn't get anyone to help me with the internet in my room which wasn't working, I tried calling three times and even reached out to Hyatt team on Twitter but still no solution.” 11
- “Smiling and helpful staff greeted me in the lobby every time, but other staff members would pile into the lift to go up one flight while guests waited.” 9
- “The lobby of the hotel is on the ground floor. Check-in was flawless.” 14
- “I used the valet a few times, and one employee was consistently contentious while the rest were great.” 9
- “All of these issues are repairable and service was friendly, but it's not quite where it needs to be at almost every level of the experience.” 9
- “yeah the carpets Feel clean although a bit wet I think they've probably just recently cleaned it don't mind my shoes right there I just took them off didn't want to walk on this carpet” On camera105:01

- “The front desk and housekeeping staff are all very friendly and accommodating.” 3
- “Set in the posh Brickell neighborhood in downtown Miami, this Hyatt Centric hotel impresses visitors with its welcoming staff members and modern accommodations.” 21
- “Whether it was the welcoming design, the art on the wall, the friendly staff, the awesome drinks or the delicious food - Caña Restaurant was just awesome.” 14

- “Not a true suite, but it certainly was a very large room with plenty of space, this corner room (1013) had floor-to-ceiling windows with plenty of light.” 9
- “The property overall felt modern but the floor boards were sliding around in our room - not a huge deal but feels like maintenance is needed.” 5
- “I really liked the design and set-up of the room. Plus, because this hotel is new, it had that crisp new feeling, and I also liked the blue and grey color scheme a lot.” 14

- “The room had a small balcony with two chairs and a table. There was even a great sunrise view straight ahead.” 11

- “While the room was ultimately quite bland and nothing to get excited about, you can't beat the value we were getting.” 11
- “Our Room - King Bed Junior Suite This was the hallway on our floor. Our room was a King Bed Junior Suite. It is actually a large room (544 square feet) that was designed and compartmentalized well into bedroom and living room areas.” 14
- “Globalist Upgrade: I was not upgraded to the best available room as a Globalist.

- “Due to the small size and acoustics of the connecting entry way, it was obnoxiously loud whenever our neighbors arrived or departed their room due to the slam of the doors.” 11
