• Confetti, glitter, excessive dirt, or mud on flooring or furniture.
• Bodily fluids not reported to housekeeping prior to departure.

This includes, but is not limited to, loud music or entertainment, shouting, running, propping open of guest room doors, or any other activity that may be disruptive to other guests.
Guests and visitors found to be causing a disruption will be given one courtesy warning. Should the disruption continue, guests and visitors may be subject to eviction.

Firearm Policy
Hyatt recognizes that guests or visitors may legally possess firearms for a variety of legitimate purposes. This policy is intended to create a safe environment for all guests and visitors by providing appropriate guidance over the custody of firearms on our premises.
Hotel premises are private property. Guests or visitors of a Hyatt hotel who are lawfully permitted to possess a firearm may bring such firearm onto hotel premises for storage purposes only. Any guest or visitor who is in possession of a firearm on hotel premises is personally responsible for abiding by all applicable federal, state, and local laws with respect to firearms in the jurisdiction where the hotel is located and for ensuring that the firearm is:
• Unloaded
• Secured in a locked, hard-sided firearm container provided by the guest
• Securely safeguarded at all times in a Hotel Security Department (or personal vehicle), except when transporting the firearm into or out of the hotel
Firearms are not permitted in guestrooms for any reason, including storage.
Guests who fail to abide by this policy may be asked to leave the hotel premises. A blanket exception to the restrictions described in this policy statement applies only to law enforcement officers and designated military personnel who are on duty and required to carry firearms in the performance of their duties. No exemption to this policy is allowed for private persons, even those licensed and permitted to carry a firearm, and/or where applicable, to conceal carry a firearm.
Questions concerning this policy or its implementation may be addressed to Hyatt’s Global Security Department.

Party Policy
Our primary goal and responsibilities are to provide a comfortable and relaxing experience for all of our guests. Parties are strictly forbidden and any registered guests or their invitees found to be having or permitting a party may be subject to eviction without notice or refund.
Any guest room/suite occupancy above the limit per room/suite is considered to be a “party.” All money, deposits, room charges and other hotel fees, and taxes will be forfeited in the event of a termination of the registration agreement and/or removal. We define a party as any of the following:
• More than four (4) people in a room
• Noise or disturbance complaints from other guests
• Any underage drinking of alcoholic beverages
• Illegal drug use
• If the guest room requires excessive or unusual cleaning
• Damage to the room and or furnishings
• Throwing items out of the guest room windows

Pet Policy
Hyatt Regency Wichita does not allow pets. Guests who violate this policy are subject to a room recovery fee of no less than $75.00.
At any time should an animal be determined to be out of control or causes damage to hotel premises, the hotel will ask the guest to remove the animal from the premises and the guest will be subject to a room recovery fee and responsible for the repair of any damages.
Statement Regarding Service Animals:
Following guidance provided by the U.S. Department of Justice, emotional support animals are not Service Animals as defined by the ADA. As such, emotional support animals will be considered regular pets and are subject to the hotel's no pet policy.
Service Animals are not subject to a room recovery fee for cleaning hair or dander shed by a service animal. However, if a guest's Service Animal causes damages to a guest room, the hotel will charge the same fee for damages as charged to other guests.
Privacy Policy
FOR THOSE GUESTS UTILIZING THE ‘PRESENTLY OCCUPIED’ SIGN:
At Hyatt, the welfare and safety of our guests and colleagues is a top priority. Hyatt Regency Wichita may enter every occupied guest room at a minimum of once within a 24-hour period, even if a guest has requested privacy.
