Grand Hyatt New York

We stayed there for a long weekend.

Very good location. Literally steps from the Grand Central. However, this is the only thing "Grand" about this hotel besides it's "grand" rate starting at $350/night + ~15% tax. It doesn't even have a pool. Since it's on Park Avenue, I'd understand it belongs to one of the Park Hyatt's brand, but Grand? It's about 10-15 minutes walk and two stops on Subway from Time Square, which is where we went for the Broadway shows. Unlike Time Square, there are not many places close by open after 10pm.

It's an older hotel with very well maintained lobby and meeting facilities. The rooms, well, are really showing their age. The paint on the room doors start to peeling off that I still can't believe it's an Hyatt. I intended to take a picture of the door, but forgot to do so when checking out.

The King room we got is big and has modern decoration, while the bathroom is extremely small, comparable to those in 2-star motels such as Sleep Inn. We requested a quiet room which was facing inside. No view, but it is very quiet.

No coffee maker in room. We got vouchers for two 12oz coffee/day at the shop downstairs ($2.50/12oz). It's really good coffee, so is the napkins.
