Average stay

Front desk didn’t explain we had to go to another building for parking. It was very confusing. The elevators were very slow. The floors in the bathroom were sticky. Everything looked clean, but a sticky floor is gross. There was no water or snack bar to buy in the room.

Our stay could have been excellent. We were in town for the Megan Moroney concert. However, the only negative would be that all elevators were not working at the Hyatt. There was a long wait from the room to the lobby and from the lobby to the room due to the middle elevator being out of order.

A Bit Disappointing

We live in Athens, but booked a room downtown to celebrate our anniversary. I used to think the Hyatt was the best hotel in town. But there were problems. I booked a view room and we had a view of the parking lot, not downtown. We would have tried to change it, but the one poor guy at the desk was dealing with a large group and it was not possible. We had specifically planned to watch the sunset from the HyBar (the rooftop bar), but it was closed (currently closed on Sunday and Monday). No warning on the website, just a sign posted at the front desk. Self-parking is a $14 charge. The room was just OK. Breakfast was not great, but decent. On future stays, we will probably book at another hotel.
