This place has the best Sunday buffet brunch EVER!! We could not believe the quality of food presented at this buffet. They had an antipasto section that was fantastic. Fresh, marinated artichoke hearts, grilled peppers, an assortment of olives, cheeses, along with grilled zucchini. I can't even remember all the different foods in that section. Then I moved on to the breakfast part and the scrambled eggs were so light and fluffy. The eggs benny were super good and the hollandaise sauce was lemony and obviously made from scratch. The desserts were way too good. We usually take a few to try and seldom clean our plate. Heck, I could have licked that doggone plate. They actually had the cutest little hand-made truffles that were absolutely yummy and the mascarpone cheesecake was scrumptious! Our server asked us if we had tried the caramel cheesecake, which we hadn't, so I beetled up there and grabbed one of those and YOWZA - so good! And we were so stuffed by that point but we cleaned that up with no problem. Man, were we full when we left. The cost was around $28/person and so worth every cent. We are going to return next Sunday as well and I can't wait! If you want to impress someone with a really good Sunday buffet, you will not go wrong by going to the Hyatt. You will be so glad - so very, very glad.
I stayed here as part of the Sled Island festival this past weekend as the band I work for was on the main stage. We drove from Vancouver in two separate vehicles, and the first van arrived hours before mine. However, check in was quite the head scratching affair. The Hyatt had all our names and three rooms for the five of us. However, the first two to arrived had checked in with two of the names, so apparently I was already "checked in", despite standing there in the lobby at 1 am all bleary eyed and really wishing for a soft bed. The clerk was, well, confused but was so adament about sticking to policy that he didn't seem to comprehend that I hadn't checked in and was indeed standing right in front of him.
Eventually it somehow got sorted out.
The rooms were excellent . Very spacious with big comfortable beds. I did note that although the hotel had upgraded to LCD TVs, they didn't bother providing HD cable for them, so while they're a space saver, the picture just never looks that good stretching a 4:3 ratio out to the 16:9.
They also charge $14 a day for wireless access, which I declined.
Super 8 gives it away, after all.
Other than the odd check in moment and typical higher end hotel nickel and diming (I'm sure they're meant for corporations with expense accounts, not scruffy no-good-nik rock bands), the Hyatt is a fine place to stay. And if it's good enough for King Buzzo of the Melvins, darn tootin' it's good enough for me!
The lovely folks at the Hyatt let us stow our bags there for no charge even though we weren't guests of the hotel, and were super friendly and helpful. When we came back to pick them up we popped into the washroom first, and the concierge had a cab waiting with our bags in it by the time we got out. Talk about service! These guys are amazing.
I just had lunch at the Hyatt yesterday. They were very reasonably priced and had great food. A great destination to eat when you're downtown. I loved the ambiance and the service. It was a great meal and I will be back.
