I was checked in FLAWLESSLY by a very nice lady by the name of Jackie. She was so accommodating. I had booked a room in advance and she upgraded me out of pure generousity. I spoke with an incredibly professional gentleman named Thomas prior to coming and he set me up with a great view room overlooking the Super Dome. HE WAS INCREDIBLE!. He set me up with room 2502 (which is on the 25th floor). The Super Dome is beautifully lit at night!!!. The hotel is very large! unless you purchase like a suite the rooms are pretty much standard hotel room sizes. Cons: THE POOL is WAY to small for such a huge hotel. There is no breakfast discounts of any kind for the customers. PARKING!!!! If you have a car hear is the deal. DON'T park at the hotel its anywhere from $30bucks to $40bucks per day(depending of valet). right around the corner from the hotel is a public parking lot CONNECTED TO THE HOTEL for $25 per day, HOWEVER if your there over the weekend PARK ON THE STREET ON SUNDAYS!!! because parking is free every Sunday on the street. Some more PROS: you can walk to French quarters its only about a 15/20 minute walk to get to Bourbon Street. There is a taxi stand right in front of the hotel. You also can take the trolley bus ride to French Quarters. THOMAS at the hotel sent a wonderful "Thank You" for staying gift to the room for being a great customer(which was very nice). I would definately stay at the Hyatt again on my next trip to New Orleans.
