10/10 Excellent

"I traveled with children and it was a great stay. They enjoyed the pool and the room was clean."

Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

8/10 Good

"Check in wasn't smooth when we arrived around past 10pm , only 2 front desk rep were around , took us 30 mins to get our room so by the time we were in the room & got settled, it's almost 11pm , I requested for some extra pillows & towels twice but no one showed up until we just fell asleep and still nothing the next day , I had to call again for some requests . This time somebody came and told me that if it's already past 11, barely no one is around anymore and he apologized in behalf but that is unacceptable especially for a 5 star hotel like this , there should be enough staff to cover every customer's request :( . Such a disappointment as I am a World of Hyatt Member and I have stayed with other locations and never encountered such a thing . This one request we were just basically ignored , I will accept if front desk had already gave a heads up about the situation instead of just totally no one came to our room"

Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our first time at this resort! Loved our room which overlooked the fishing pond and golf course. Balcony was huge and having 2 bedrooms was great! Loved the Pools and slides, arcade and ping pong and the staff were great there! Food and drinks at pool was really good just a bit pricey. The canyon grill has good food and Ricardo was the best server. However, disappointed that they didn’t have Starbucks and when we ordered espresso drinks they took a long time and only 16 oz. Only did that once. Loved the farmers market! Nice to have that! Loved having the golf carts handy to take us around the resort! Cleaning of the unit was not the best. After waiting 2 hours for our room to be cleaned and inspected, we found dust on the counters and in bathrooms and bedrooms. Also the washer dryer unit needed cleaning but we did it bc takes too long to get housekeeping. Took housekeeping 3 tries to get our room finished during a mini cleaning and still missed one of the bedrooms. Other than the cleaning, we enjoyed the resort! It’s a great place for families. They need to get better at housekeeping and really have a coffee shop so we can get good and right coffee rather than driving to Starbucks."
