Check in to room 2109 and ac was blowing 85….turned it on and left for an hour…hoping it would work….but it was broken.

Check in to room 2109 and ac was blowing 85….turned it on and left for an hour…hoping it would work….but it was broken. Engineering came up and after spending a whole lot of time in our room….it started working. But next our tv remote control didn’t work. The worst thing about the whole experience was the front desk staff said there was absolutely nothing they would do for me. The manager would even speak to me…and the desk staff was told to do nothing. …..not even the courtesy to tell Me “we’re sorry”. So clearly there is a pervasive attitude of “get their money and deal with it”. The hotel feels very old and dark….and with all the options…..select somewhere else. And to that manager….you’ve cost Hyatt my business because I’ll never stay in a Hyatt again. Read less

May 19, 2025 ElizabethGNewHaven

On the good side, the room was large for NYC and it was clean. In the bad side it there were hidden fees. There was $50 spa fee - no pool or spa. We were told we could use $15 of the fee in the cafe where we could only buy 2 small bottles of water for $15. It looked less expensive than hotels I would have preferred online but then with the spa fee… Read more
On the good side, the room was large for NYC and it was clean. In the bad side it there were hidden fees. There was $50 spa fee - no pool or spa. We were told we could use $15 of the fee in the cafe where we could only buy 2 small bottles of water for $15. It looked less expensive than hotels I would have preferred online but then with the spa fee added it was the same. Also. the lights in the room were touch activated but the one for the closet didn't work. We had to call housekeeping and they came and restarted the system. It was a minor inconvenience but given I already felt cheated by the price I was annoyed. Read less

This hotel is showing its age. There are many positives such as the lobby , check in experience is efficient, adequate store in the lobby with refreshments and location. Housekeeping is good. Negatives are many rooms are not updated, my room was dark and dinghy. No coffee maker in room but they will bring one if requested. Elevators are slow… Read more
This hotel is showing its age. There are many positives such as the lobby , check in experience is efficient, adequate store in the lobby with refreshments and location. Housekeeping is good. Negatives are many rooms are not updated, my room was dark and dinghy. No coffee maker in room but they will bring one if requested. Elevators are slow and small. My bathroom was uber small with an 80’s version of a toilet and rubber stopper in the bathtub. Sink was so small that when I washed my face water ended up all over the floor. I was staying here a week for work. Would I stay here again? Yes. But it could be much better with some renovations. Read less

15 usd allowance is something good that beyond my expectations. The cashier somehow could be more friendly. The business lounge opened until 12:30 which give me some enough time to wake up. However, there are not slippers and toothpaste stuff make it uncomfortable for me

Review: Grand Hyatt Grand Central – A Mixed Bag in Midtown My recent stay at the Grand Hyatt Grand Central was, in a word, adequate. The hotel offers a convenient location with direct access to Grand Central Terminal, which can be a major plus—or a bit overwhelming, depending on your travel style. Upon arrival, I appreciated the dedicated check-in station for World of Hyatt members. The process was smooth and efficient; I was in my room within 15 minutes, which is always a welcome start after a long journey. However, the elevator situation left much to be desired. With large crowds and only a few elevators in operation, wait times became frustratingly long—something the hotel would do well to address. My room itself was clean and functional, with housekeeping doing a commendable job of tidying up swiftly each day. Surprisingly, no personal care items (shampoo, conditioner, or soap) were provided during my stay. I didn’t raise the issue with the front desk, assuming it was an oversight—or perhaps just part of the NYC experience, where essentials are always just a block away. Overall, while the stay met basic expectations, the chaos of the surrounding area and the lackluster in-hotel experience left me thinking I’d probably opt for a different Hyatt property next time. For first-time visitors, the frenetic pace of Midtown can be disorienting, making it tough to get your bearings. If you're looking for a calmer introduction to New York, you might consider exploring other accommodations in quieter neighborhoods. Read less
