This hotel is a nice clean place to stay in Wichita. If you are on a budget though it may not fit you. The rooms were clean but beware of the hotel policy on noise. Apparently if you happen to get a room that has one of those adjoining doors you will not be allowed to watch tv after a certain hour. I literally was told by security to turn off my tv. It was only normal volume but they said the guests on the other side of the door were complaining. So due to bad hotel design I cannot watch tv? I left immediately as switching rooms apparently is not an option either.

I was somewhat suprised to find a Hyatt in town but I happpily decided to stay here instead of the usual travel hotels. Very clean, updated hotel. Nice lobby and restaurant. Seriuoisly it's the best restaurant in town! I stay in some very big cities with excellent restaurants. Harvest is a great find. I ususally hate hotel buffets but this was a suprise. Excellent fruit/dairy bar, great hot foods and made to order eggs, pastry table, coffee and jusice for $15! I have lunch the second day with a colleague and we both raved. Dinner was at another place in town, it was ok compared.

The rooms are nicley appointent with most modern conviences. Beds confortable and clean.
My only concern was the bathroom fixtures. All the renovations and the either left the old faucets and showerheads or just went cheap. A upgrade would be a nice idea.
Other than that it's 5 starts for the rooms.

Last the staff was very nice and professional. I was greeted each time with a smile and suggestions if asked. The servers in the restarant were great as was the bartender for a nitghtcap.

Stay here and you wont be dissapointed!

We visit Wichita 4-5 times a year to visit family and friends, and for the last 3+ years we have been staying at Homewood Suites at the Waterfront - a very nice place to stay on the far east side of town. But their prices kept creeping up and up, and we had grown tired of their breakfasts (breakfast is my favorite meal of the day). Then last fall we went to a conference at Friends University, and the host hotel was the Hyatt Regency downtown on the river. We stayed there for three nights and loved it, particularly the high quality buffet breakfasts with omelets, pancakes, etc., made to order, along with fresh fruit, hot and cold cereal, and pastry options and trimmings. Very nice service and top-notch coffee and fresh orange juice too! The room itself was not large like Homewood but was nicely decorated and the bed and bathroom were to the usual high Hyatt standards.

We went back in December for Christmas and stayed four more nights, as did our daughter and son-in-law in a nearby room. We upgraded ($25 more) to a nice Executive King Corner room (larger) with a view of the river on the 14th floor and really loved our stay again. We had purchased a package which included breakfast and parking (attached parking deck) for $99/night - a great deal! Even though we missed the more convenient free parking at Homewood, the larger size rooms, and the nice dining room where we could get together and play cards and visit, the four of us were able to get together in the bar at the Hyatt and play cards and visit in comfort.

With a large group, especially with kids, we would recommend Homewood instead, but the Hyatt is our new favorite place for our future visits. Close to downtown, can easily go east or west(our family/friends are located on both sides of town), truly 1st class breakfast and exceptionally friendly service - what more could you wish for?

The Hyatt is a very nice hotel located in Down town Wichita. The hotel over all is very nice - however our room was just a bit dated. The restaurant is excellent and priced as you would expect at a Hyatt hotel. Dinner drinks with tip in the $100.00 range.
