No Regency to Be Found
Let me begin this review by saying that the staff at the Hyatt La Jolla are all fabulous. Without exception, ever person we dealt with was a delight. That fact alone is why the hotel got three stars rather than two.
The Hyatt used to our premier hotel; wherever we went, if we wanted five star luxury, we stayed at a Hyatt. Now, they just look like your average, smelly businessman's hostel. Our room did smell, like BO, unfortunately, but one of the fabulous employees upgraded us to the top floor. The differences between the lower floor room and the luxury room, besides smelling better, are the following; body wash, a makeup mirror, more art on the walls, a single terry bathrobe. That is it. I was happy not to know the difference those extras would add to the bill. 
Another blow; this trip was a combined family visit for our son's wedding and some business. He'd reserved a block of rooms. Two rooms went on our charge card. In spite of a combined $400 a night for the two rooms, we still had to pay $25 a night for parking. Every time the valet got the car, it was another $5. We came and went a lot and ended up figuring the valets made at least $30 a day from us. 
And the coup de grace; no free internet. Even the worst flea bag hotel has free internet! Fortunately we had our little modem with us so the extra $9.whatever wasn't charged to us.
From now on, we will shop around for hotels; just because someone was once trusted doesn't give them carte blanche.
