Hyatt Regency Flint

[cmubryan]

The only other Hyatt Regency ever in the state. Built in 1981 and Hyatt pulled out sometime in the late 80s? Anyone have any more info on this place. I was driving through downtown Flint today and was very happy to see that it has been turned into the "Riverfront Residence Hall." A privately owned apartment building dedicated to students at nearby UofM Flint and other schools. They invested a lot of money into it. Its last incarnation was the "Riverfront Character Inn" a hotel dedicated to Christian ideals and church groups. It was looking a little run down then. I would love to hear any more info anyone has on this place.

Here are a couple links...

Unless I'm wrong the Flint Hyatt Regency was addressed in Michael Moores movie "Roger and Me ". He addressed the Hyatts failure to make it a go of it in the city. Hope I helped.
