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.
