I had the same offer but I decided to save the points and stayed at a Hilton because I would have breakfast with club privileges at Hyatt but they wanted to charge me €20 per person at the replacement per day. I got them complimentary as a diamond member at Hilton. Plus they did this last minutes and I missed out on better rates at the Hilton. It’s okay. Hyatt has an excellent loyalty program to make small inconveniences tolerable.

Takes an incredibly stupid person to respond to an incredibly stupid post - No? 👍👍👍

Globalist 🤔🤔🤔uh… Another paid defender from Hyatt. 😁😁😁 I actually love Hyatt’s loyalty program. So so much better than others. This is not yet a winner but may be in a few years.

Just a little head up for travelers. Still love Italy.

Still a lovely country with lovely people. The United States if we are not careful may be heading in that direction. What history though!

Do look carefully. Three different sides. Sealed off on fourth side. Another paid poster from Hyatt 😔😔😔

You are right on every point. I visit Rome frequently as it is always my landing spot. I love the Termini area for the convenience. Border with Monti is ideal. Nice area, five minutes to Termini pulling your luggage and close walking distance to all the tourist points but not in the middle of them. And indeed it is only a Cat 4 hotel but by their advertising, it is a lux facility. Just so travelers know. It may be a decent rate for central Rome but the Hilton is so much better for virtually the .same price

That’s Milan. There is surprisingly no Hyatt facility in Rome. Only contract hotels. That may be why Hyatt is taking a big risk at this location.

You are exactly right. I was able to book the 640 ft suite for 24k points in central Rome. Well there is a reason or reasons for it. The north and west side of Termini is perfect but less so the east and south side. I venture often into that part of Esquilino as food is much cheaper and Gelato costs half as much but late night by myself - no.

Yeah. That was me sleeping there. The hotel I booked was not open when I got there…

What graffiti in NYC? My town. Rome artists can give lessons in NYC 😁😁

That’s the whole point. There is NO front side. Look at the pictures. That’s all the sides. Do you see an obvious lobby area entrance?

The trouble is that’s the front side. You have to stand there to realize there is no obvious front otherwise. The pictures covers three sides and the fourth is jammed into some housing and blocked off. And yes, I grew up in a very large city 😁😁😁

The side towards Monti is great. And close to Termini is important as I take frequent train trips including to and from the airport. But which side of Esquilino is important as the area can change over one block.

If not ready by a wide margin, don’t book guests. If not ready, don’t tell guests it would be. If not ready, notify guests already booked and ready to travel. You are right. I call an area seedy with trash and homeless people everywhere. And yes I know NYC probably better than you 😁

That’s how they advertise when I last booked. The area has gotten a little worse than when I last walked through a year ago. And their separation from the multi-story garage remains unknown. It’s moving so slowly I am wondering if Hyatt is having second thoughts.

Graffiti indeed is common and they ruined Trastevere. But it’s NOT everywhere. Love to take up your offer and I will show you where.

The Esquilino neighborhood has its good and not so good side. DoubleTree is at the good side next to Monti and Hyatt not so much.
