Great overnight stay while traveling.

Staff very rude upon check in ...rooms is outdated and breakfast was a joke

staff

The highway next to property was very difficult to negotiate. Will not stay at this Hyatt again because of it.

My wife and I had a confirmed reservation at this hotel and when we arrived, we were told that no rooms were available.

We like the South Birmingham location, but the highway it is located on is high traffic and difficult to access and negotiate. Had to make two U turns to get the hotel,

My overall stay was very pleasing. the property was clean, the rooms were very nice and the service was excellent. The only issue I did occur which is why I did not rate it as excellent stay. When I arrived and had booked for a king bed, the service representative on site said they only had a double with queen beds available. Well, since it was queen beds I accepted but once in the room, those were not queen beds not at all. They had to be only full size beds. That was a little disappointing because this weekend was our 1st Anniversary and the bed size was important. However, we did not complain we made the best of it.

Great room, great stay

The beds were very small. Asked for bedding for fold out couch, was given a baby blanket! Breakfast was horrible, staff not helpful, whole place smelled like weed, blood on the bathroom floor. No coffee in lobby.

I adored the entire staff at this property BUT the room was not cleaned properly. I was actually very disappointed in the level of cleanliness. I was provided with anything but conditioner (thankfully I packed my own toiletries). The ice bucket has brown stains all over the outside. The coffee pot still had the coffee pod and tray insert in it. The couch was covered in some sort of pet hair because my black leggings and clothes had fur all over it. I didn’t complain bc I was only there for one night but if I were to stay longer I would had asked for another room properly cleaned. Rooms should be properly cleaned due to covid especially since the cleaning staff isn’t cleaning every room each day. Although I adored your staff I don’t think I would stay at this property bc cleanliness is much more important to me and I didn’t feel like I stayed in a throughly cleaned room.

Very friendly and accommodating staff!

Very nice hotel

My husband and I have always loved staying at the Hyatt in Inverness, when we visit our family . It’s always a pleasant stay. This visit was not satisfactory . When getting off the elevator to our floor we were hit with smell of a STRONG WEED smell. Your guest on the 2bd floor were smithing .As we open the door to the room the smell of old ness hit us. I’m sure because the air wasn’t on .the air condition was missing the grill that goes on it so it was open hole where the sir was flowing out of it. We sprayed air freshener near it to help the smell of the room. The corners of each floor wall you could see the carpet dust bill up. It’s almost like the quite place that we once loved, is starting to go down . We will not be staying no time soon.

The property was close to everything we needed to access. The room was very clean and spacious.The staff was friendly and helpful. Infact one staff member went above and beyond offering suggestions of great restaurants in the area. I really appreciated the hospitality!

Be aware that they charge you $20 to check in early! $20 for an hour and a half early check in. If I had known that, I never would have booked.

The room are very nice and clean, it is a very nice place to stay. The problem I have is the they asked for a credit card to be put on file and now they have two 50.00 charges pending, two 35.34 charges pending and 84.43 charge pending why I do not know. I have called twice nothing has been done to date.

Nice shower but no microwave in room. Also no ice on our floor.

People smoking weed in the elevators and no small towels! Wall paper torn off walls and room attendant was very rude after I asked for towels.
