Not a comforable stay in San Diego
Our family recently stayed at Hyatt Regency Mission Bay.
It’s a lovely location so close to Sea-World. It is a nice property close to the water and has nice pool facilities. I was expecting a little warmer water in the pools and especially the water slides. The cool breezes during April were a little too cool. Perhaps that is why they ran out of pool towels?
The room rates are a little high (about $250 a night) for what you get. I was expecting a premium stay for that premium price. That is not what happed.
For starters expect to pay $20 a night for parking, if you can find some in their small lot. Expect an average room sized room with small and old furniture. Our dresser had only two drawers for a family of four and the top drawer would not stay closed. I had to stuff a shirt in it so it would stay closed. The bathroom was small but nice. It had an open counter with no drawers and limited storage. I have stayed at larger hotel s for half the price.
Luckily it had a small refrigerator because they don’t offer a continental breakfast. When staying at a hotel close to a theme park it would be convenient to grab a quick breakfast and go. They only offer an expensive menu breakfast or continental breakfast to the noisy outdoor conference attendees. We stopped by a Target and grabbed breakfast items. Unfortunately the rooms don’t have a microwave so it had to be a cold breakfast. Cold food does get tiring after a week. And don’t think there will be a microwave in the lobby for you to use. There isn’t. I guess TV snack items like popcorn are out of the question. 
But don’t worry you won’t be watching TV with the kids. They don’t have Disney, Nickelodeon or ANY other kids channels on the TV. We did find PBS but my kids are older than the Sesame Street programing and it wasn’t on in the evenings anyway. I thought no problem I’ll show them a movie on my iphone with Netflix on free WiFi. NO! Expect to pay $13.95 for Wifi per day!! I’m not sure who pays for WiFi anymore? It’s free at McDonalds, Starbucks and most other hotels I have stayed at.
Staying at a Hyatt one would expect great maid service which didn’t happen to us. Yes she vacuumed, made the bed and dumped the garbage but that was it. No dusting or even resupplying soap, Kleenexes or towels. When we arrived there were only two towels in the room so we called down a got two more. One would think that after using 4 towels we would get 4 new towels. NO we had to call down 2 more days until she started to leave 4. We also called down for Shampoo and Conditioner, Kleenex and coffee cups. None of those supplies were resupplied without us calling or leaving a note. Once we called they were quick to respond but that is NOT service to me. I’m on vacation I don’t want to have to think ahead if tomorrows shower has the necessary supplies. They should just be there! We starting leaving a daily note for the maid and that seemed to work.
The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Almost too comfortable because the radio clock didn’t work and so it was easy to oversleep. It would be terrible to miss the shuttle to Sea-World. WAIT! There is NO shuttle anymore to Sea-World. What? They are 1 ½ miles away and most guests attend Sea-World at one point and no Shuttle? No we had to drive the 1 ½ miles and then pay the $14 parking fee. (The Dana next door still has a shuttle) Bad management cut-back on that one!
You can see my growing frustration. It’s not just one thing this hotel did terrible or inexcusable. It’s just a whole bunch of little things that added up to make our stay not as good as it should. At least not $2,000 a week worth! 
I wouldn’t consider myself a picky person. Most hotels have something everyone wouldn’t like but not a whole laundry list like the Hyatt at Mission Bay had for us. I’m not even including all the items on my list in this review. I am tired of typing.
In summary, we almost definitely will not be staying there again. The Hyatt brand now leaves a bad taste in my mouth. If I were you I would consider staying at another property. Money is harder to come by these days and I would expect to get something of value for it…
