This Week's New (or Improved) Hotels

The Hyatt Place Long Island East End is now open in Riverhead, New York.  Located near the eastern end of Long Island the hotel is adjacent to the Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center. Between them, the hotel and aquarium offer a significant amount of space for meetings and other events.

 

The Westin Gaslamp Quarter San Diego is looking very different after a complete reno of their guest rooms.  It's all so much trendier looking - with all the benefits that come with the hotel's downtown San Diego location.  Part of a $25 million overhaul that will be completed by sometime in 2012.
