Overall, we enjoyed our stay here :)
Pros: It was nice to be central in Wichita - close to the river walk, museums, baseball stadium, Delano, and Old Town. The staff was really nice and helpful as well! Beds and pillows were comfortable, great view, and the room was clean. The gym was tidy had great equipment for use and the pool was lovely. We felt secure in the building and in the parking garage.
Cons: I know it's important to update hotels as they age, however, the updates at this particular Hyatt feel cheap. The lobby feels stark and over homogenized, the furniture is so simple it doesn't fill the space, there are bright white LED bulbs that cast a green/blue tinge to everything and seemed to spotlight every flaw in the carpet/walls/trim (the hallways were worse as the light was SO bright. I beg you, warm the light up. It felt like a step away from fluorescent bulbs.) Yes, the hotel was clean, but it didn't feel warm and welcoming. It seems to have succumbed to the "greige mod" trend that every house flipper has used to "update" their property. The personality is missing, and this hotel used to feel more grandiose and welcoming.
We could also hear everything in the room next to ours: their alarm going off for TWENTY minutes at 5am, the TV until 1:30am, even conversation at what seemed like a normal volume. I'm not sure if every room has an adjoining option, but if we stayed again, I would request a room without that feature.
