May return for the tunnel to the Union Station.
Thanks for having the French Open (tennis) in your tv lineup.
The tiny swimming pool is a deterrent for me: unbelievably small for the size of the hotel!
Choosing this hotel, is due to its proximity to the Union Station, due to me being a train head. The 1,120 rooms hotel is decent, close to Dealey Plaza but it’s in nowhere land: “Downtown” label is bit misleading.
Our room is spacious, with a good view looking out west, Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, Trinity Overlook Park, etc. The water pressure is good as well. The second luggage rack bought in in less than ten minutes after my request (why don’t hotels provide two when they expect two people are checking in?)
Hyatt is part of redevelopment project by the city, with two other components (Union Towner/Crown Block and Union Station). It’s very convenient to pop over to the Ball to have a drink, watching the sunset (dinner needs reservation).
When we checked in at 10pm, there was one lone staff who was distant. As he was checking us in, I tried to start a small talk, asking him the best way to Fort Worth.
“Uber.”
“Not train?” My homework tells me, the train station is only 8 minutes walk away.
“Nay.”
The same staff also told me the pool is 7am-11pm (unusually long). So after putting down my luggage, I rushed to the pool: the door is locked. It was only 10:30. SO is this lack of training or what? The following morning I went to the pool again, to find a tiny pool surrounded by rather unappetizing deck. Oh well.
The following morning, I ask for the direction to the station (tunnel is closed according to online comments…). Two employees (valets) gave us Google Maps direction, which is the road way.
It seems non of the staff know about the tunnel.
The tunnel between the hotel and EBJ Union Station is clean, well lighted and maintained. A city staff walks it once an hour (don’t know about weekends but it opens at least on Saturday), and it closes at 7pm. Room key gets you into the hotel.
