Nice hotel, nice room -- Horrible Horrible restaurant
Stayed one night at the Hyatt Regency ABQ and found it to be a very nice, standard, high end hotel. I'm not sure why other reviewers found it to be such an awful place, but we found it to be luxurious, quiet and very comfortable. Pretty much what you would expect from a high end hotel. However, the restaurant, McGrath's, despite the concierge's advice that it was one of best in the area, was absolutely hideous. Service was abominable -- the waiter forgot our appetizer and pretty much ignored us throughout the (awful) meal. (Maybe he knew how bad the food was and didn't want to come near us). The food was completely tasteless -- a 10 oz order of free range chicken turned out to be a scrawny chicken quarter that was so overcooked and hard, it was barely edible. If it was 10 oz of chicken, I must weigh about 800 lbs. The other dinner was more robust, but totally devoid of taste. So remember the name McGrath's and don't even think about eating there. I sent an email to Hyatt explaining to them that by associating with such an inferior eating place, they do a disservice to an otherwise fine hotel. I'm not totally surprised I've had no response. The "just OK" rating I gave this hotel is because the rooms are good. But, man, that's one terrible eating establishment.
