Wild Palms, a JdV by Hyatt Hotel
"The continental breakfast is great! It’s a city eclectic boutique hotel, with a nice pool, spa, fitness center and small game room. The rooms are ok. A little outdated. No smart TVs. The staff were nice but some seemed maybe new or in training. Very family friendly. Great location. We would stay ..."
