Hyatt Place Athens/Downtown

Hyatt Place Athens/Downtown

10/10 Excellent
"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!"
