Long Island Hyatt Regency – Presidential Suite

Winter wasn’t getting any shorter, and it was time for another mini-vacation.  The Long Island Hyatt Regency is one of my favorite local go-to places.  It’s just far enough away from NYC to feel like you really got away, but it’s really not far at all.  Did I mention that it is a category 2 Hyatt property? (hello, points and cash!).  That it has a kickass gym and pool?  That everyone who works there is fantastic (especially Michael)?  And that this hotel has a fabulous breakfast with a great buffet, or, my favorite choice, delicious Lobster Benedict on the menu?

To top it all off, on my most recent visit, we were treated to the Presidential Suite! I surely wasn’t expecting that!  And, even though I opted for points as my Diamond benefit, the front desk sent up a bottle of wine and some cheese and crackers anyway! Sheesh, I love this place!

There were two bathrooms (YAY!!):

We may or may not have crashed the Firemens’ cocktail party ( but I did grow up in the same town as the firehouse …)

We always enjoy dinner at the hotel restaurant:

Yes, I made it to the gym in the morning:

Here is a review of the Hyatt Stayfit Gym and Pool.   I needed to go to the gym so I could eat my favorite breakfast – the lobster benedict! I LOVE the lobstah!

Drawbacks? The only “drawbacks” to this hotel are that: (1) there really isn’t anyplace outdoors to run (although on a prior stay, I did run around the hotel parking lot and into a nearby gated community), and (2) there is no Regency Lounge.  I would burst out in joy if the hotel had either of those additional features.

Go there! On second thought, don’t go there!  I want to keep it as my own haven!
