Hyatt Regency Orange County

The Hyatt Regency Orange County is situated close to Disneyland, and offers shuttle service to and from Disneyland for a nominal fee.  Fortunately, it is away from the Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue intersection so foot traffic is not too bad.

Upon entering the hotel, the registration desk is to the left.  Check-in was quick and efficient.  My Hyatt Diamond Status was recognized, and all amenities of the hotel and Diamond amenities were clearly explained.

I was upgraded to an Executive Suite, which is not surprising from what I have heard since over one-third of the rooms are suites.

Bathroom

Shower/Tub Combo

Upon entering the room, the bathroom is located to the right.  There is ample counter space with a shower/tub combination.  The tub is actually on the larger side.  Water pressure and temperature were excellent.

Conference/Dining Table

The room is very open and spacious as there is a large dining/conference table with seating for six.

Wet Bar

There is a small wet bar area with coffee maker and refrigerator.

Desk

The desk is on the smaller side, but with the large dining/conference table that could easily add more work space, it is not a big deal.

Living Room

There is a large seating area with a sectional sofa with a large screen TV.

The TV cabinet acts as a room divider between the bed and the rest of the room.

Bed

The bed is on the softer side, and could use replacing in the near future.  The “bedroom” also has its own flat screen TV.

The room has two thermostats, one for the bedroom and living room area, the other for the dining room/conference table area.

The hotel does not have a Regency Club, so breakfast for Diamond members is in the restaurant.  The menu is on the smaller side, but the buffet does have a wide variety of selections including an omelet station.

Hot options included scrambled eggs, bacon, chicken sausage, pork sausage, potatoes, Monte Cristo sandwiches, waffles, whole grain pancakes and oatmeal.  Other selections include fruit, yogurt, muffins, bread, bagels and cereal.

I stayed in the off season so the hotel was not that crowded, but I can imagine it being a little rowdy once summer rolls around with lots of kids.  There is a small arcade to entertain the little ones as well.  I did not have time to check out the pool or gym.

The stay was very pleasant, and I would definitely stay here again if I needed to be in the area.
