Hyatt Place St. Augustine/Vilano Beach
Room was nice, but bathroom door didn’t lock. Housekeeping was excellent. Front desk personnel were not great. We had to have other staff contact someone to come to the front desk where a long line had been waiting. Front desk personnel were rude and short when they finally did arrive. No microwaves ...
