Hyatt Regency Long Island at Wind Watch Golf Club, Hauppauge

Advantages: Central location
Disadvantages: Bad service with grubby rooms

...As some of you may already know, I have recently returned from a lovely break in Houston, Texas. The main reason for our trip was to go to "Wrestlemania", the WWE's large yearly event. Yes it is slightly sad to travel 5000 miles for wrestling, but you only live once and I am indeed sad! To ensure the expense and hassle would be worth it, we added an additional 7 night's holiday to the trip, making it a 10 night get away. We booked our wrestling part of the trip direct with WWE and thought the packages sounded like the best deal for our money. Included was 3 nights in the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Houston as well as a lot of other boring wrestling things I won't bore you with! ;) My initial reaction when we were told and confirmed on the package, of where we would be staying for the last 3 nights of our trip, I was ecstatic...

..., or if he had yakked off. However there he was, with a sign saying "Mr V Boy" or something like that. Anyway, I found him, he found me, we found each other... and they all lived happily ever after? Well... er... not quite! First Impressions The Hyatt Regency is not far from the airport and it was dark as we arrived, but I could still see that the building dwarfed everything around it. Certainly it made a good impression as we drove up, with the traditional Nepalese roofs atop simplistic but functional buildings. As the car pulls up, the hotel's "Casino Tara" is in front. The hotel is to the right, the entrance across a wooden bridge over a "moat" (empty of fish, sadly) and through the front door. The lobby is quietly impressive. There are no high ceilings or grand atrium; it is quite plain and simple. To the left are a couple... Read review
