chicagojayhawk Posted June 13, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 13, 2007 why would you nto be able to use the balconies? where'd you hear this from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webecruzin Posted June 13, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I was looking on Travelocity to book after our cruise. And under the Hyatt it says "Some important info about your hotel" Please note there is no longer balcony access at the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagojayhawk Posted June 13, 2007 #4 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Boo!! I just called. They're sealing all of the balconies as part of the rennovation. They will not be opened back up. That really sucks. I'm kind of irritated!! We picked the Hyatt so we could have breakfast on the balcony. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rala Posted June 13, 2007 #5 Share Posted June 13, 2007 We stayed at the Miami Hyatt about a year and half ago. The balconies are exremely tiny and only about 3 feet deep. I was very nervous sitting out there. It would not take much for someone to fall off (wonder if someone did?). It is a very tall high rise hotel and I think you would have to be Spiderman to feel safe on those balconies. Forget even thinking about allowing a child out there! I would not be surprised if this were the reason for the new "no access" policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone else wants to call and see if they can get more info on "why" here's the number: 305-358-1234. Strangely enough, balcony is still listed under the amenities for this location on the Web site. At least the travel sites are updating their info...

critterchick Posted June 13, 2007 #7 Share Posted June 13, 2007 The balconies are icky, IMHO. Just a slice of concrete and some ratty chairs. We had a city view and it was really noisy up there, too. I was surprised that you could even go out there, to tell the truth. When you check in, find out what floor is being worked on and avoid being booked directly underneath. We were there in May on the 18th floor, and they were doing renovations directly above our room, rousting me out of bed at 8:00 am (coming from the Left Coast, my body noted that it was only 5:00). It was really inexecusable, and they ended up refunding the points I had used to book the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Cruz Chic Posted June 13, 2007 #8 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I agree the Hyatt balconies are crappy at best. Very small, no way could you have breakfast out there! :eek: Save that treat for the ships balconies!!! ;) Not only are the balconies small but I didn't feel safe on it. :eek: *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnell Posted June 13, 2007 #9 Share Posted June 13, 2007 The sealing of the doors could be related to the FL building code. Since it sounds like they are doing a renovation they might have to abide by the current codes, depending on how much is being renovated. Sealed, unoperable doors are generally stronger than operable doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
