- “I don't know if you had a chance to try the coffee from the market in the hotel... but it's shockingly good.” 1
- “Posts: 369 Your impressions of the hotel are entirely correct. However, I was there last week and Riverwalk Cafe remains open. It is a full service bld restaurant. So, if staying there that is an option, albeit not a good one!” 19

- “The buffet is $32++ ($40 after) and was mediocre. While there was a very large selection of fruit, pastries and hot dishes, nothing was very good.” 26

- “HR was ok to me. It was nothing special but not bad either. Breakfast (buffet) was good.” 14

- “My steak and eggs was pretty good, my wife's breakfast burrito less so.” 16
- “When I shared with the assistant manager in training the breakfast offerings : eggs Benedict with scrambled yolks on top of ice cold shredded beef, burnt omelet, frozen fruit and bread no grocery store would sell to a human his answer was :" I don't eat eggs. You seem to have unrealistic expectations about food."” 1

Location39 mentions · 5 filmed

- “The rooms at the coral gables are much nicer. The bathrooms at the downtown are motel style.” 19
- “This was in 2023, not 1923. There are a number of Hyatt properties in Miami but the Regency is probably the best located for access to the cruise terminal.” 6
- “I'm not as sour about the Jr suite as you. It's just OK, but the location is still ideal - it's such a great hedge for anywhere.” 26
- “Downtown Hyatt is better location and my view from the 23rd floor balcony over the water was absolutely stunning.” 19

- “One other thing I wanted to note is that it's only about 15 minutes from the Miami airport. So it is a good layover hotel, too.” On camera137:03
- “In the Center of Downtown -- which isn't as convenient as it sounds. The Hyatt is at the banks of the Miami River, which cuts through the heart of Downtown.” 9
- “Coral Gables has tons of restaurants and shops, and the hotel is located within walking distance of all of those. Most importantly, it's walking distance to Hillstone Coral Gables.” 4

- “The location is superb, a short walk from the downtown bars, shops and restaurants Coral Gables.” 16

- “The location is absolutely incredible, right on the riverwalk and across the bridge from Brickell and Brickell key.” 26
- “Hotel is in a nice location in the Coral Gabels area, very walkable and there is the free Coral Gabels trolley that picks up 2 blocks away which runs to a few interest points in the area.” 8
- “The Hyatt Regency Miami is in a prime location just a 25-minute transfer from Miami International Airport once you're here you're right at the heart of downtown Miami” On camera170:23
- “Thank you all for the input We stayed at the Hyatt in January. We stayed at the Hyatt in January. It is close enough to walk to Bayside and walk back during the day.” 23
- “I think this is a great hotel in a good location. Plenty of restaurants nearby too.” 8
- “The ONLY two pluses for this hotel are : (1) you get credit for a Hyatt stay, and (2) its location, which is near the courthouse and other office bldgs in downtown Miami, where I usually have to visit once or twice a year on business.” 19
- “I think it's a solid choice if you like being able to walk downtown, which has a number of quite good restaurants within a short distance from the hotel.” 1
- “I think if you get this hotel using points for like1 $120 it's a great deal the lobby is great the location is great the rooms are small but here we are” On camera1011:12

- “Hyatt Regency Miami benefits from a strong central location along the Miami River, within walking distance of Brickell, Bayfront Park, and public transportation.” On camera240:07
- “The neighborhood is pretty bleak as of 2023 - lots of empty storefronts. However there is a Whole Foods across the street.” 6
- “Ironically, the hotel was built as a business/convention hotel around 1980 when you simply did not venture downtown on foot after dark but as Brickell has grown and downtown flourished the hotel still has the same bones but the customer base has switched to leisure. It just hasn't fully managed the transition. Great location though.” 26
- “one thing i really liked about the hotel is that it's located right on the miami river so if you're a big walker or a jogger you can definitely take advantage of the walking paths that go all along the river” On camera223:30
- “Great location near Miami Airport and right next to downtown Coral Gables.” 16
- “First, I think the Hyatt Regency Miami is located in a decent part of town, walkable to (free) public transportation, parks, and even to the cruise terminal if you don't mind a very lengthy walk.” 27

- “As you enter, you have a little entry area with your coffee station, some older feeling furniture, like in a good way. Just nice like dark woods, which was really cool.” On camera131:51
- “The suite was very spacious and had a separate work area on the one side of the room and a King-Bed on the other with a 32" flat screen TV.” 2
- “The Poseidon Ferry to Miami Beach is right outside the door. That said, the rooms are tiny and worn (our suite was less than 450 square feet, albeit with a great view).” 26
- “The view from the room wasn't bad. We had a view of the water and bridge. The lights are on pretty much all night long but it wasn't distracting when we were trying to sleep.” 27
- “I do like that my global status got me a small upgrade here. I got a junior suite.” On camera135:53
- “Hyatt Globalist Elite Benefits: Suite Upgrade: We booked into the suite, so there was no upgrade. They did give us a suite with a lovely view right over the river and the Brickell Bridge.” 26
- “The room is very dated and the service is not as good as other regency I've been to.” 11
- “Off the living room was the door to the balcony, which was sparsely furnished. It had two chairs, and views of nearby buildings.” 4
- “some reviews have mentioned the decor and while it may feel a bit dated in places I found the room to be comfy and clean” On camera171:34
- “A half wall behind the bed partially divided the bedroom from a large powder room with an enormous 50-square-foot closet -- space that might have been better used to expand the tiny bathroom.” 9
- “The room itself had very strong air conditioning (it seemed like it was either on full blast or off - no in-between).” 20
- “We really wanted to like the hotel more, but I feel like it could use a bit of a more modern refresh in the rooms(if you take a good look at the furniture in your pictures, I think you can see what I mean).” 16
- “The room had a great view of Downtown, but I couldn't open the sliding door to the small balcony to get a better look.” 9
- “All-in-all, I was happy with the room. While the layout was a bit odd, it was clean, felt modern, and I appreciated getting a proactive suite upgrade at a US property (which is rare nowadays, it feels like).” 4
- “While there was a small balcony, it was sealed off and the sliding door couldn't be opened.” 27
- “so i was upgraded to a panoramic suite which is basically one big junior suite with good window views of miami skyline that's free for me as a globalist though this room doesn't really go for more than 30 or 40 dollars a night it was on a high floor so i had a great view of everything in brickell” On camera225:51
- “On the plus side, the room is nice, big, water view and comfortable...” 19
- “The room was clean with plenty of space, quiet and the beds were comfortable.” 23
- “Overall the suite was really great and gave me a "welcome home" feeling.” 2
- “The biggest flaw in the room is the position of the TV screen. It's mounted on an inside corner wall of the room. You can move the screen a little bit around with the wall mount but you won't get a good angle to watch TV while in bed.” 7
- “The 32-inch LG flat-screen TV was great, but it was placed at a weird angle and difficult to watch from the bed.” 9
- “Called the frontdesk and asked if it could be stopped, they said they'll fix it. Nothing happened. Called them again, nothing happened, again. Nobody asked if I wanted to change the room or anything, no excuses either.” 19
- “and then here's a view from the room so we had a nice view of the bridge that would come up and down for some of the big yachts” On camera227:22
- “I got a junior suite. They call it a studio suite. It's a decent sized room.” On camera135:57
- “so a nice little sitting area that's a pull out couch so you could definitely squeeze some people in here nice desk for working” On camera226:22
- “Once inside, we found what was perhaps one of the oddest room layouts we've been to in a long while. Immediately upon entry, you'll see a half-wall surrounding the restroom area with the bedroom behind it.” 27
- “But unfortunately, the carpet was also sticky. Gross! Especially since the kids kept forgetting to sit on the bed instead of on the floor.” 27
- “I'm not as sour about the Jr suite as you. It's just OK, but the location is still ideal - it's such a great hedge for anywhere.” 26
- “Mine was just a short walk down the hallway and around the corner. It is a very spacious room with a small cabinet to the left as you enter the room. Inside the cabinet, you find a refrigerator, and on top are two bottles of water” 7
- “Definitely the Centric. Much newer/modern, has a balcony, better & bigger bathrooms.” 14
- “The hotel is nice, we even had a view from our balcony of the drawbridge that opened up to let ships travel through.” 23
- “However, we really couldn't have been more pleased. We had a little balcony that overlooked the Bank of America which was beautifully lit up and we were only staying for one night precruise and of course, we were all very excited and in excellent moods.” 23
- “and there was a walk-in closet as well that you could store some of your items and had you know ironing board and all the things needed” On camera227:14
- “it's like a walk-in closet without doors but it's a good space for your storage you can put your luggage here you can store your backpacks your clothes safe is there and your drinks” On camera104:15
- “My room was clean and everything was working but I wasn't able to get an upgrade, as the Deluxe Room, I booked counts as a Junior Suite.” 7
- “Next to the sofa and towards the windows is a work desk with a chair. This one has a small flaw too because the power and USB outlets are on the front face of the desk, which put them most likely in your way at one point.” 7
- “For me the furniture was a bit outdated, especially the couch and armchair.” 2
- “The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was fri...” 11
- “Overall the Miami Suite would not be worth using a Tier Suite Upgrade.” 6
- “Additionally, we frequently get upgraded to a suite without status.” 4
- “Then get to the room and it's just so blah. I know Regency isn't the lap of luxury in most locations but this was by far the worst one I've stayed in.” 1
- “The room worked really well for a family of five since the standard room included a large pull out sofa” 16
- “The room was in better shape than many domestic HRs, with a very spacious bathroom and comfortable seating areas.” 16
- “The rooms/suites are super dated. I stayed at their VIP suite and panaromic suite and none of them stood out.” 14

- “if you care about the neighborhood this is a great deal because it's not too expensive and you have access to bisin Boulevard Brickle and heart of Miami” On camera107:45

The button to call the elevator is located between the last two elevators and when you stand in front of it, you might miss the first elevator arriving as there are no audiovisual notifications that the elevator has arrived.” 7
- “My suite was facing to the east right along SE 2nd Ave. It can get sometimes noise here when they open the nearby drawbridge.” 2
- “Downtown Miami is noisy and the windows kept little sound out. At one point while I was trying to fall asleep a car with a very loud stereo drove by; I could hear the lyrics of the music in my room on the 20th floor.” 6
- “I would also suggest avoiding a room in the front of the hotel as it was the noisiest room we've ever stayed in. Ask for a quiet room and you won't regret it.” 3
- “no real street noise which i think is a big problem in brickell if you're staying in the area so something to consider if you were maybe on a lower floor but i didn't hear anything and i'm pretty sensitive to that sort of thing so definitely high marks for me there” On camera226:09
- “2 out of 6 elevators are not working. The elevator sometimes acts weird like it sometimes will drop some floors pus...” 11
- “it's crazy though you can actually hear people honking and stuff from all the way up here and these people get a little angry sometimes” On camera515:36
- “And the Whole Foods across the street, which was very conveinent.” 1
- “Noise can be a problem as well. Due to its central location and busy surroundings, guests sometimes report hearing traffic, nearby construction, or hallway noise, especially in rooms with less sound insulation.” 24
- “Coral gables - much nicer hotel than the other Hyatt regency. Much quieter and great staff.” 14
- “Instead, it's incredibly loud in the room at night from the A/C unit. It sounded broken with the noise it spewed out all night long. So rather than fix the A/C, I think the cheaper solution was to put this machine in the room. This kept Jenn and I up at night.” 27

- “HR Miami is just a pretty standard downtown HR. People seem to dump on it, but they have good staff, things are clean, it's a fine stay to save on points versus the other options.” 14
- “When I shared with the assistant manager in training the breakfast offerings : eggs Benedict with scrambled yolks on top of ice cold shredded beef, burnt omelet, frozen fruit and bread no grocery store would sell to a human his answer was :" I don't eat eggs. You seem to have unrealistic expectations about food."” 1

- “Good elite treatment and service overall.” 16
- “Having said that, the hotel was fine, and everyone was very nice.” 16
- “Also, service staff could be more attentive. In the beginning, they swarm you and bring you your food but shortly after you don't see anyone anymore taking care of you. You have to waive them in to get a refill on your soda, coffee or even to get the check.” 2
- “The staff is very nice and accommodating.” 4

- “Housekeeping: Requested everyday (an option for elite members). Receieved it once during our five-night stay after we called down to the front desk because we ran out of toilet paper.” 26
- “We were here for one night, and around midnight, an employee knocked on our door very loudly. I answered and the employee mentioned I had a safe that needed to be opened. When I responded no, he just looked at his paper and left. No apology for having the wrong room and waking us up so late at night. It just seemed like a rude interaction.” 27
- “Both the valet and the housekeeping left much to be desired..we asked for daily housekeeping (available for elite members) and only received it once...after we called the front desk because we ran out of toilet paper.” 26
- “I haven't stayed at HC Brickell but I would add HR Coral Gables to the mix. It is farther from the port, but there's so much more to do/eat right around it, it's super nice, and the ride to port honestly isn't awful (I just stayed there before a cruise in January).” 14

Bathroom12 mentions · 2 filmed
- “As for the sink itself, it's pretty basic. I don't think there's anything noteworthy to talk about.” 27
- “The bathroom was big enough and the shower tub and toilet were on the end of the room and partly separated from the washbasin.” 2
- “The water temperature fluctuated while in the shower quite a bit. You might want to shower during off-hours if you want a smoother experience.” 27
- “Across from the sink is a tub sized walk in shower with sliding glass door that you will find in many Regency properties. I do appreciate that the water control is on the wall opposite the shower head so you can turn it on without getting wet.” 20
- “great water pressure in the shower there's a tub so you have to step into the tub so definitely something that was built in a different decade but overall pretty nice and kept the water in and no complaints there” 22
- “The bathroom is a strange set up. The first part of it is divided from the rest of the room with a half wall.” 6
- “I really liked the style of the sink of the vanity but the faucet is a little too short and I always hit the sink when trying to wash my hands.” 7
- “Nice comfortable bathroom. You do have a nice little shower area. You have the Pharmarmacopia shampoos and conditioners available for you in there as well.” On camera132:50
- “Replacing a shower head and an elongated the curtain rod does is not a bathroom renovation. Shower curtains are disgusting and have no place in the world.” 12

- “bathroom was nice and clean and definitely refreshed, definitely fully renovated. So, very nice to see that.” On camera136:05
- “I already mentioned the partition between the bedroom and bathroom is weird. It's also disappointing when someone needs to use the light to see the sink and wash their hands but the light creeps into the bedroom where others are sleeping.” 27

- “I have stayed there twice. There is no good view of the port. Some of the upper rooms on the corner you can see pieces of cruise ship.” 23
- “With 615 rooms, guests can choose from doubles to suites with city or river views. Those who are there for the views should book one of the Panoramic Suites - uniquely shaped rooms with walls of windows that offer jaw-dropping views of Miami.” 15
- “all right this is the nighttime view of Miami baby anyway there's the ocean right there and then there's the lit up pools across the way it's very pretty” On camera515:14
- “The PureVerde Lounge/Bar offers a great view of the Miami River and you can watch boats of all sizes go by.” 2
