I needed a reasonably priced hotel for an extended family (wife and me, grandparents, daughter) and wanted to spend a few days in the South Bay area, and a two-bedroom "suite" (basically just a rather small two bedroom apartment) at the Hyatt House fit the bill perfectly. Simply put, for a family that doesn't want to spend a ton of money (after paying for five plane tickets from Tokyo to LA I was pretty tapped out!) this is a great property. Close to lots of great restaurants like Houston's and McCormick & Schmicks, decent casual choices like PF Changs, tons of shopping and the beach. The free breakfast each day was nothing fancy, but hey it was free! And I did appreciate the fact there was a little variety every day and my little girl loved being able to head over and grab some cereal and pancakes whenever she wanted in the morning. Pool wasn't fancy but perfectly fine and the basketball court and BBQ facilities were nice extras Staff was very friendly and pleasant. Some caveats for foreign visitors - this is not really a hotel, more of a rental condo with continental breakfast and housekeeping. You must have a car. The staff is terrific but cannot wait on you hand and foot. This not a romantic getaway, it's all families all the time with rugrats everywhere. Keeping these entirely predictable limitations in mind I really thought this place was great and everyone in my group agreed they wanted to stay here again.
