Hmm, just a few things I'd like to add about Hyatt.

1. The elevators wait was insanely long on wednesday when we arrived. It was literally faster to run down the stairs (we were on the 8th floor so it wasn't THAT bad)
2. The breakfasts? hmm, do they really call those breakfasts? Ok, you get there are 6:15 am and all they have are a few weird muffins and boxed cereal (2 selections: corn flakes and something else... whatever happened to the rest). At 7:15, the hotel ppl start cleaning up the food and if you come at 7:25, there won't be anything left in that room. Compared to where we stayed last year (Disney New Orleans Resort), food at Hyatt was atrocious.
3. Rooms: the rooms weren't too bad. I was lucky enough to have a double room at th end of the hall which connected to another team room. However, our bathroom door lock was BROKEN! Now, nice rooms, walk in closet and broken bathroom door? That was pretty sad.
4. Room structure. Is it me, or did everyone go to bed at 9:30 pm. We get back to the hotel at 10pm and everyone's door is closed. I understand that some teams have early curfew, but this hotel just was not the right place if you wanted to meet people. Why? You can't see who is on each floor above you, nobody knows which team is staying where. What's worse is that there's no common space on any floor.
5. The "infamous" piano. I don't know how many of you actually tried out that piano at the lobby, but it's pretty random stuff. If you play on it, some hotel dude will randomly kick you off for the dumbest reasons. "oh, you can't play here." Why you ask? "you can play anytime before 10pm." So you walk away and a minute later they turn on the recording and the piano goes autonomous. Hypocrites! In the morning, some guys were trying out the piano and in the middle of a piece (it was played well too) the piano goes bezerk and starts playing by itself. What kind of respect do these hotellies give us? Geez!

It was fun. Could have been better, but it was Hyatt Regency Houston for all of you.

Did you guys notice some HS's prom in the hotel on saturday night?
