Know before you go

The hotel is newer and located in downtown Gainesville - very much a city - complete with sirens and loud motorcycles throughout the night. While the room was okay, they do not have blackout curtains - instead it is a pull down/rollup shade, which still lets light in. Hard wood floors, easy to see footprints as soon as we walked in. Bathroom floor had "things" on it, do not ask me to guess. The shower had multiple lengths of hair in it....present on arrival. Biggest pet peeves: 1. Parking - no lot for this hotel (think NYC). From a female standpoint not great, numerous homeless on every corner and side street. Options are to park in a free lot some 3 or 4 blocks away, or in the street overnight.....or in the local city lot $30 a night (but only 1 block away). 2.Unloading or loading your car - have to circle multiple times to try and grab one of the 10 parking spots...cars can stay there for 15 minutes only, then must be moved. 3. There is no concierge or valet to help with your bags or the car. I circled literally 6 times to snag one briefly. 4. The hotel has an okay morning breakfast; however there is not a true onsite restaurant. The "Placery" is basically a bar and you could get wings and alcohol - not ideal with children. We had to leave the premise and walk (around the homeless) to find somewhere to grab a bite. On the plus side - Hotel offers free wifi and the ability to cast your device to their TV (so you can use your own Netflix or Hulu, etc. accounts).

The Downtown location is nice in that you can walk to a lot of restaurants and other places - but it is certainly noisy at night. Parking is also a problem. Finding a street location is tough and you have to pay to park in the public lots close by. Hyatt should work out a reimbursement agreement of some kind. We were disappointed when we entered the room and found the carpet dirty - clearly unvacuumed. Housekeeping took care of it and the hotel gave us a couple of drink coupons - but still. Breakfast bar is good but nothing unusual. I guess I've always associated Hyatt with 5 Star Quality and this one was good but not 5 Star.

We stayed here for a little over two weeks and overall we are very happy with our choice. Priorities were the proximity to UF and the convenience of a spacious room. We appreciated the breakfast selection, which is a bit wider than what we had in other similar 3 star hotels. We would have liked to have a different type of eggs from time to time instead of the same scrambled egg... but again, we stayed here for two weeks. Everybody at the hotel was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Thank you. We were always late for breakfast and it was nice to see that they didn't rush to remove the breakfast exactly at closing so we had time to grab something to eat. It would have been nice if not only the table tops but also the table edges were regularly cleaned as they were always sticky. An unexpected inconvenience was that there is no parking on site included. You would either have to pay a $30 fee per day or hunt for parking spaces that are limited for two hours near that hotel. They are very affordable, just a bit inconvenient.
