Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina

Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina

8/10 Good
"Clean and nice but a dated facility. Staff were all very friendly and professional, even gave me an upgraded view without me asking. I was there on business mostly, but the pool are and water slides looked fun for a family trip, and the location is great for beach and boating. Downside was $55/night for self parking (or valet)."
