Hyatt Place Athens/Downtown

10/10 Excellent
"Everything was great. Only โ€œcomplaint,โ€ if you can even call it that, was it wasnโ€™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!"
