The hotel is great. Great location downtown; it is on the east perimeter so you are easily downtown but it isnt loud. However, the food at the rooftop restaurant is truly horrible. Drinks/bar are good. We got margarita flatbread that had the consistency of less than a cracker, and an unbearable quantity of balsamic vinegar drizzle that really made it inedible. Someone else got the sliders medium; it came very well done and and the cheese wasn’t even attempted to be melted on….it was Cracker Barrel cheese squares added at the last minute when put on the bun.

Loved The Hyatt Place

I have stayed at almost every hotel in Athens. This was my first time at The Hyatt. I dont know why it took me so long to book here. The check in staff were friendly and so helpful. The rooms are updated, spacious and clean. The location for downtown, Classic Center and Akins Arena is perfect. Check out was a breeze. Parking is free. This is my new favorite hotel in Athens!
