Clean rooms.
Small rooms.
The illustrative room comment focuses on constrained space, specifically the narrow clearance between the toilet and shower. That detail makes bathroom layout—not simply overall room size—the concrete issue in this account. The guest describes spatial discomfort through the usability of a particular area rather than through a general assessment alone.
Evidence:
- Room: percentage: 19.11%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 47.66%; sample reviews analyzed: 5,353
- Illustrative room comment: The room was very small, the clearance between toilet and shower in the bathroom was barely inches.

Friendly staff.
Terrible service.
The service-related detail in this account is direct: the guest describes the staff as exceptionally friendly. The rest of the comment expresses dissatisfaction with the hotel and compares it with other properties in the same portfolio. It does not identify a specific service failure, so the staff characterization is the bounded service insight available here.
Evidence:
- Service: percentage: 13.99%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 47.32%; sample reviews analyzed: 5,353
- Illustrative service comment: The staff is super friendly, but this is the worst hotel I think in their portfolio, I stay in a lot of Hyatts and I can’t believe this is one of their signature hotels in a great city.

Great location.
$40 destination fee for “free WiFi, water (that they give you when you first walk in) the view that we had of Fenway park.
This comment describes entering from the street, taking an elevator to reach the lobby, and then using an elevator again to return to street level. It therefore illuminates the guest’s reaction to the property’s arrival route and internal circulation, while offering no direct assessment of the surrounding neighborhood, nearby destinations, or geographic convenience.
Evidence:
- Location: percentage: 7.44%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 41.62%; sample reviews analyzed: 5,353
- Illustrative location comment: What a dump this hotel has to be the worst hotel in the Hyatt portfolio horrible design you enter from the street and have to take an elevator to get to the lobby and then an elevator back down to the street.
