Hyatt Place Newark / Silicon Valley

My stay at the Hyatt Place Newark was unfortunately marred right from the start. Upon entering my room, I was greeted by an unpleasant odor, which was a bad sign of things to come. However, what truly took me by surprise was a large notice informing guests that tips were expected. Why should I tip for a room I've already paid for? It is the responsibility of the owners to pay their employees fairly. In my line of work, I provide good service without ever asking my clients for tips. This culture of soliciting tips feels misguided and akin to begging. Employees should focus on their duties, and it should be up to the employer to handle gratuities. This practice significantly impacted my view of the hotel.

Ive never stayed at a Hyatt chain before. Great first experience and may search for these brands more often because the bed and pillows were SO comfy! Breakfast was great. Felt safe as you have to use your key to access the elevator floors. The staff was nice. We were on the 5th floor in a corner room and it was quiet and newly renovated. Great location too.

I really don't understand why the ratings are so bad. I stayed here this past Monday through Wednesday and the staff was above and beyond friendly. I was able to utilize the car chargers which was a nice convenience. No issues with car break ins here, at least for my stay (an apparent issue for this area not necessarily this hotel) I felt like this was a good location overall, next to the highway and near plenty of restaurants. The rooms are large with a comfortable bed and a nice sectional couch. Linens and towels were all crisp and smelt fresh. My room, like the rest of the hotel, was spotlessly clean from top to bottom. It was as if no one had ever stayed there before. There is some finishing construction going on during the day but it's barely noticeable and it seems to be almost completed. No ant problem during my stay either. Nor could I hear any noise from any of the other rooms. The only thing from the other reviews that I did notice was the elevators are on the slower side, but that's not the hotels fault. And if that's the only thing I saw wrong with this place during my three day stay, I'd say that's pretty good. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in this area. I guarantee you won't find anything nicer anywhere nearby.

The location is great and you get all the shopping centres within 2 mile radius. Starbucks is just a 5 min walk. Then staffs are friendly. The rooms are seems to be recently renovated and are fine. The only problem would be the noise from other rooms. You can hear almost everything like dropping objects, dragging etc.
