Please remodel this hotel
Hyatt Place hotels are generally great, this one is badly in need of a re-do. It is run down, the rooms have been abused to the extent that you wonder if it is just used or is it dirty. On a positive note the breakfast is good.

One concern
The staff was excellent, and room quite roomy and pleasant. However, we had an extremely difficult time getting hot water in your shower at 6:30 AM. Disappointing.
