My boyfriend and I had such an amazing time staying at this hotel! Parking and check-in were really simple and easy and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was gorgeous with an amazing view. Well worth the price point.
Great city hotel with great amenities (breakfast, a gym, walkable to restaurants). Pleasant staff, garage parking, roof-top area. We have only positive comments and appreciation for Hyatt Place Athens
Clean room, courteous/accommodating staff. Had dinner at the Placery and it was plentiful for the pice. Breakfast was delicious and enjoyed the 12pm checkout.
Everything was great. Only “complaint,” if you can even call it that, was it wasn’t obvious how to get to the front desk from the garage as there are two sides. So a little better signage would have been nice but that also just could have been my fault for missing what they had. Otherwise, great stay and I would definitely stay there again! Oh, and as everyone says, breakfast is fantastic!
Staff was not welcoming or helpful, the room was clean, breakfast was excellent, the Bar which served dinner the night before wasn't great. The salad wasn't fresh.
