We really enjoyed our stay at Hyatt House<\/a> last month. It’s a much better (1,000 percent) than the La Quinta that we stayed at down the street from it when we were at the US Open four years ago<\/a>. We were grateful to have enough points to cover our hotel stay because this place isn’t cheap. It’s around $250 a night, before taxes and fees. Even so, our stay wasn’t completely free. We had to pay $29 per day for parking. After eating dinner at the onsite restaurant one night and our parking fees, we got out of there paying a little over $300, which I thought was pretty good. It cost way less than our stay at La Quinta and that place was terrible.<\/p>\n

\"La<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the location of the La Quinta that we stayed at in 2022 relative to Hyatt House. They’re literally down the street from one another. There’s also a Holiday Inn Express next to the La Quinta, which also probably would have been better. The entire time we were at the La Quinta we were wishing we were at either Hyatt House or Naples Bay — or literally at any of the other hotels nearby. It’s soo freakin’ expensive to stay there, though, specially in April and specifically during the month of the US Open. <\/p>\n

Brian, who is bougie as bougie can be, hated the La Quinta and practically banned me from choosing a hotel on my own from then on. But, since we were staying for like 8 or 9 days, I had to find a reasonably priced hotel. We really would have been better off staying at an AirBnB but Brian was super anti-AirBnBs back then. So a cheap hotel was my only option. I remember being proud of myself for finding a hotel that was around $85 a night (after staying there, we now know why). Even so, it was only that price because I booked it almost a year in advance. I looked at the price of the hotel per night during the week of our stay and they wanted almost $200 per night. It would have really chaffed by ass to pay that much for such a crappy room\/hotel because it hurt my heart to even pay $85. Friends, it was not great. We vowed never to stay there again.<\/p>\n

The following year in 2023<\/a>, Brian and I got a 2 bedroom and 2 bath AirBnB near East Naples Community Park. It was actually really nice. We split the cost with mom and dad so it ended up coming out to be about the same as the La Quinta but the accommodations were way better.<\/p>\n

Brian still prefers hotels to AirBnBs though, so for our most recent trip last month, we were back to staying in a hotel. We chose a much better one this time and we used credit card points to help cover the cost of our stay, which kept our lodging expense more manageable. <\/p>\n

The pool at Hyatt House was way nice than the one at La Quinta and the view was so much better. We were next to the marina and, while our room only had a street view, at least we could enjoy views of the bay when hanging out at the common spaces of our hotel. There was no view whatsoever at the La Quinta.<\/p>\n

There was also a boardwalk on the back of the hotel which led to the marina next door. We really enjoyed walking around the property.<\/p>\n

The hotel breakfast (included) was also decent. So we saved a bit by eating breakfast at the hotel each morning (except on departure day because we had to be at the airport super early).<\/p>\n

Latitude 26, the onsite restaurant, was not cheap but it was convenient. We ate there one night when we didn’t feel like walking or driving to dinner. They also have live music on some nights which was quite nice. <\/p>\n

Here are some pics of our dinner.<\/p>\n

I had crab cakes, which were fantastic (some of the better ones I’ve had – definitely way better than any I’ve had in Wichita), and Brian had a flatbread pizza. <\/p>\n

The other thing we liked about our hotel is that it’s the home base for Go Cats on the Water<\/a> in Naples. We found this out while walking around one morning. We ended up booking a tour, which was amazing and definitely a highlight of this trip. More on that next time. Bottom line – we really enjoyed our stay at Hyatt House, even if we didn’t get VIP treatment like our friend Michael Cheung. More on that next time as well. <\/p>\n
