I called Expedia and the hotel ahead of time to make sure that my son could check in since I was not arriving until later. They allowed him to check in easily once they notice that in the comment section they had added his name to the reservation. The next morning my daughter arrived and she needed a key and was given a hard time by the check-in desk saying her name was not on the reservation and they would not let her in. She had to call my Son to come and get her a key to the room. My son was already checked in and their names were on the reservation but the check-in desk said they weren’t there on the list

The hotel is great. Great location downtown; it is on the east perimeter so you are easily downtown but it isnt loud. However, the food at the rooftop restaurant is truly horrible. Drinks/bar are good. We got margarita flatbread that had the consistency of less than a cracker, and an unbearable quantity of balsamic vinegar drizzle that really made it inedible. Someone else got the sliders medium; it came very well done and and the cheese wasn’t even attempted to be melted on….it was Cracker Barrel cheese squares added at the last minute when put on the bun.

We enjoyed our stay at the Hyatt Place Athens, in GA for a wedding. Room was comfortable, laid out like a suite. Excellent proximity to downtown Athens and the campus. Breakfast had a nice variety, including eggs/sausage, fruit, chobani yogurt, cereal. Our favorite breakfast of the trip. The rooftop bar is definitely a destination ‘scene’ for college crowd going for an upscale feel. Would certainly stay here again.
