Room had not been vacuumed when we arrived. The room was not restocked of cups and creamer. Neither trash bin was emptied the entire stay. Not the attention to detail that was expected at a Hyatt property.

Everything was really good about our stay. Staff, service, food and room were awesome. The 25.00 “destination fee” tacked on at checkout outside of the Expedia payment leaves a bad taste. Not much transparency in what you are paying thru Expedia.

The Elms is for sure a must stay destination. The staff went the extra mile all the time. The historical charm was a big draw. The property was so beautiful to walk around. Out door pool was closed for the season but that will bring us back during the summer. The hot tub is open until midnight. We used the spa and it was worth it. The city is fun to stroll through and explore the historic downtown.
