Stayed at the Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica last weekend to watch a Cirque du Soleil show at the Santa Monica Pier and personally would never return. Based on various reviews I read before coming, even those from when it was still a Le Meridien, I already anticipated the property to be dated and came with an open mind to manage my expectations. But once there it was really hard to wrap my head around how they actually made this place a category 6 as is. I understand that categories are determined by typical cash prices, and that the cash prices are high for this particular property because of its location in Santa Monica, but similarly priced hotels in the area have far more favorable TripAdvisor reviews and would be worth checking out before even considering coming back to the Hyatt Centric just because it’s a Hyatt, even for a Hyatt loyalist. I know there’s a multimillion dollar refresh in the works as part of Hyatt’s acquisition of the property, but the worst part of our stay was less about the property, but the staff. I understand there are still growing pains as it transitions from Marriott to Hyatt, but it wasn’t even the staff’s lack of education concerning Hyatt policies that was off putting, it was the terrible attitudes. Of the 3 interactions I had with different front desk staff, not a single one of them was pleasant. Check in wasn’t terrible, but not great either. When I walked up to the desk to check in, I handed over my ID as I said I was here to check in, and no words were exchanged until I was asked for my credit card and handed my keys. No “hi,” no “welcome,” no “how can I help you,” just took my ID, handed me keys, and answered my question about where Globalist breakfast would be. The next day after breakfast I went up to the desk and asked if I could get late check out and was met with a sigh and eye roll before being asked if I was a member. I said “yes, Globalist” and they just typed away before telling me they could do 2pm and handed me new keys. The worst was at check out when the woman actually started arguing about the resort fees. I asked for a printed bill and informed her I got charged for resort fees. She insisted they only get taken off on award stays and I told her that for Globalists they get taken off on all stays. She then retorted with “I’ll go get my manager SO THEY CAN SHOW YOU ON THE POLICY WHERE IT SAYS IT’S ONLY ON AWARD STAYS.” Seriously? What was the point in adding the extra beyond “I’ll get the manager” other than to be rude and confrontational? She goes to the back and comes back out and says “We’ll take it off but only this one time.” I clarified for her again that it’s for all stays with Globalist, and she just scoffed with attitude saying “No it’s not, but we’re doing you a favor this one time.” I just walked away not wanting to argue, completely dumbfounded at how terrible everyone at the front desk was here. Despite the experience with the front desk, most of the other staff were great. All the staff at the restaurant were very nice and as attentive as they could be given how busy it was. I felt really bad for the valet because they seemed quite stressed at how long it would take to get the cars. That’s another negative about this place, it would take over 20 minutes to get our car each time. But it was hard to be upset because they really did seem stressed about it and weren’t cavalier or just brushing it off. So I don’t know what the situation with the valet is and why it takes so long, but the guys really were trying and were visibly stressed they weren’t getting the cars out faster. Overall my impressions of the hotel were lackluster. Its current state prior to renovations isn’t really worth being a category 6, and the nearby hotels in its price point seem like they’re worth checking out before ever coming back here, but what really made the stay terrible was the front desk staff. Not only are they not up to speed with Hyatt policies, but their customer service needs major improvement. Read less

Hyatt Centric exceeded expectations with an extraordinary experience. The rooms were nice ,and loved that they have bikes. Tracy at the front desk was exceptional—proactive, helpful, and truly made our stay special. Everything was seamless for our one-day visit!

We picked this hotel because of location as it is close to Santa Monica pier and other attractions. Hotel is in good condition and the staff is helpful and courteous. It is well maintained . It has small pool with heated water. The prices of food and drinks are high like pretty much in any other hotel we recently stayed at. We experienced one unpleasant event during our stay. We were woken up by loud TV sound around 2 AM coming from a room next to us . As it was not stopping we called the reception after about 15 min. The clerk told us that security would be sent to investigate. It has arrived 5 min after , and we heard knocking on the neighbor's door. As there was no response a phone call was placed. There was no response and the security left. The noise continued. When we called again we were told that there was nothing else they could do other than us to change room. We did not want to pack in the middle of night so we endured another hour of loud nighttime commercials. Our night was wrecked. Read less
