Tommie Austin, part of Jdv by Hyatt

8/10 Good
"Service, valet, luggage storage, restaurant, pool, and coffee shop was excellent. Location excellent. The rooms: find what you consider important below. The tommie had small rooms and bathrooms with limited places to keep luggage which made it crowded for two people. The bathroom had the drain on the other side of the shower door and towards the toilet which caused the water to collect on the floor making dry feet difficult after a shower. There was a wood stand to stand on to help, but was awkward. There was no bathroom fan so all the moisture stayed in the bathroom and room for some time. There has to be a mold problem at some point in the future. Perhaps this is a trade off from the Thompson side with bigger rooms."
