How it rates * *

New and noteworthy: A $65-million renovation has added an eco spa, new pools and slides and pleasantly freshened room décor, landscaping and a restaurant-lounge.

The stay: A big, corporate hotel offers the latest resort must-haves for business and leisure travelers.

The scene: Mostly young families launching mini vacations, often to SeaWorld, from the hotel's home base.

Deal maker: Great new slides at the renovated pool, nice bay views.

Deal breaker: You'll be heading off-site for meals, entertainment and beach sports given the limited access and options at the hotel.

Stats: 1441 Quivira Road, San Diego; (619) 224-1234, www.hyatt.com.

Rates: Rooms begin at $399, suites at $525.

Green touches: Pale. The hotel employs eco-conscious spa products, and an in-room notecard advises that linens may not be replaced daily.

Rating is based on the room, service, ambience and overall experience with price taken into account in relation to quality.
