After a postponement, countless conversations with Northwest and then Delta, and loads of anticipation, my second trip to the 50th state and my first to Hawaii's Big Island was underway.
Spending the night at the airport prior to my 6:40 AM flight on a Saturday was the only answer. This was my first time at the Hyatt and it was very nice. The lobby is very inviting, the desk service was friendly, helpful and efficient.
The room was modest in size, but very nicely decorated and quite clean. We had a king room, and there was a nice ~42" LCD TV at the foot. The bathroom was clean with a great shower. The sink fixture was a little odd, too small for the sink, and set a little too far back from the bowl.
I had requested a "honeymoon" room when reserving online and they came through. The put me in an extremely quiet room, well away from the elevator and stairs.
The biggest downside is that there is a premium to pay for the convenience. The cost of the hotel is higher than what you'd pay off airport premises.
Overall, this was a very good value and a tremendous experience. We took a bottle of Cava, chilled it in the ice bucket and relaxed the evening prior to our long flight.
Finally, be warned, there is another Hyatt not far from the airport (a few exits down PA60). It is deceptively named, Hyatt Place Pittsburgh Airport. There was a couple at the desk when we arrived that was dealing with cancelling a room in the wrong hotel and getting a room in the airport property. Be careful when reserving.
