Scene
Chain hotel with contemporary decor catering to airport-bound travelers
The hotel, housed in a gray and tan stone building, was
built in 1999 and was taken over by the Hyatt brand in 2007. Contemporary interiors are clean and pleasant, with the typical chain-like style found among Hyatt properties. A rounded front desk morphs
into the hotel’s coffee and cocktail bar on the other side of a green curved
wall. Chic, patterned upholstered or leather chairs and tables are grouped here
and there on carpets or in small enclaves making for an atmosphere
that encourages camaraderie. Hallways
have a patterned carpet in neutral tones and standard abstract pieces on the walls. Overall, decor is bland, but the property is clean and pleasant, catering to families and business travelers seeking something close to the airport.
