# Park Hyatt Mendoza Review

The [Park Hyatt Mendoza](https://mendoza.park.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html) is located right in the middle of downtown [Mendoza](http://www.mightytravels.com/2017/05/my-favorite-14-things-to-do-mendoza-argentina/) - opposite Plaza Independencia. It does not get much better than that in terms of location here.

The hotel features a spa and large casino on the grounds. It's a whole city block and one of the biggest structures in Mendoza (though it's only six stories high).

The Park Hyatt Mendoza is a 'World of Hyatt' Category 1 property. A Points + Cash redemption can be had for 2,000 points plus $55 and there are no taxes for foreigners on short-term visas. Normal rates fluctuate between $130 and $250, with weekends being more expensive.

Check-in was in typical Hyatt fashion - relaxed, friendly and professional. I received a complimentary suite upgrade; it was in fact a huge suite, roughly equivalent to four regular rooms. Everything was well-maintained and the TV set-top box was new but clearly there are signs of a lot of wear and tear in the room.

The Internet was initially very slow but would get to 2 Mbit when activating a VPN (or just 0.1 Mbit without it). Argentina isn't known to block the Internet, so it might have been a technical error. On day 2, the speed was similar with and without a VPN, though.

I was looking forward to the breakfast in the morning since [Hyatt has some of my favorite breakfast buffets worldwide](http://www.mightytravels.com/2013/08/review-grand-hyatt-berlin-hotel/). The breakfast area here looks great but the buffet had mostly low-quality items - none that really stood out.

The pancakes were better but not exactly healthy.

I found the breakfast so disappointing that on the second day I opted for protein powder, chia seeds and self-procured avocados.

Throughout my stay, the staff were highly professional and spoke fluent English. During the whole time, though, I could not really shake the feeling that this isn't a Park Hyatt but more like a Hyatt Regency. 2,000 points and $55 is surely a great deal but it felt much less luxurious than I expected.
