Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

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"
