What guests think

At Hyatt Place Athens Downtown, travelers consistently praise the walkable downtown location near UGA, very clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and an unusually generous complimentary breakfast that many call one of the best they’ve had.

Common frustrations include slow or partially out-of-service elevators and a paid, sometimes confusing parking garage connection via the adjacent center. Several guests also note missing in-room microwaves, occasional hot-water or water-pressure delays on higher floors, and mixed experiences with the rooftop bar’s hours or staffing. Best suited to visitors who prioritize convenience and comfort over perfection in logistics.

Pros: Wonderful staff who are friendly and helpful. Comfortable beds. Good breakfast. Excellent Location Needs Improvement: Water pressure and shower head. Elevator to/from the parking garage takes a long time because it’s the only elevator and is shared with the bar. Have to take two elevators to get to your room from the garage.

Our stay could have been excellent. We were in town for the Megan Moroney concert. However, the only negative would be that all elevators were not working at the Hyatt. There was a long wait from the room to the lobby and from the lobby to the room due to the middle elevator being out of order.

Visiting my daughter. Great location. Front desk staff seemed to be anxious for shift to end. Hubar delayed opening until 3:30. Lobby bar didn’t open until 5. No food until 5?? Seemed odd that a hotel at that expense can’t figure out a friendly staff and food and drinks all day. Great views upstairs once it finally opened. Sucked that you had to cross the breeze way to get to the roof top and it only allowed up when the Hybar allowed you entrance. They didn’t seem to care about what time they advertised as open (3pm) vs whe. They were ready. We were told, “they were still cutting fruit”. Several phone calls and several complaints later at least 50% of the patrons left for other opportunities. Once opened, the bar was under staffed and struggled to keep up. Although friendly, defiantly under prepared and dreaded. For the price paid I would recommend staying at neighboring hotels and wait until 5 and take advantage of the amenities offered… but be prepared to wait, as service is not the top priority

The hotel was beautiful. The breakfast was superb and quite filling. However there was only one elevator working the majority of my stay so we would wait anywhere from 10-20 minutes for the elevator to get back to your room or even downstairs.

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!

Our stay was great. Clean, friendly staff, nice breakfast spread and walkable to nearby restaurants. Very close proximity to UGA as we were there for a tour. Would recommend. If I had to find a negative it would be the pull out couch, okay for a child but not an adult (the pad sucked). My son didn’t complain but I would have needed a massage the next day to work out the knots. Still giving 5 stars.

Breakfast buffet was the nicest I’ve seen for a chain hotel. Lots of fresh cut fruit! Room was freezing all the time. We were on the top floor and I had to sleep in my parka. Friends on other floors didn’t have that issue. The hallways also had air conditioning blasting in winter so I think it was a problem with the 9th floor. Room had a lot of space but needed more place to put luggage so you didn’t have to open it on the floor. Hot water took 10 mins to reach our shower. People were very loud and inconsiderate/drunk at all hours of the night in the hallways. I think we were just unlucky with our rom location as our friends didn’t experience any of the sesame issues.
