Okay for an overnight
A fairly new and nice property, orientation is odd , the back of the hotel faces Gervais street ( the google address and directions) and the entrance is actually facing another street behind . Staff was largely absent except the nice young woman at check in who claimed they were aware of the confusion re: the address but there was nothing they could do about it. Breakfast was mediocre but better than some we’ve seen. Room was comfortable and bathroom/ shower were nice.

This place was a gem. Location, price, southern hospitality, easy parking and modest but useful breakfast and evening drinks options on the lobby fIoor. Indoor pool looked great too. I generally choose Hyatt Place properties and found this one up to their usual high standards. This is a high-quality 3-star hotel that I would definitely stay at again and recommend to others.

We stayed at the hotel because we were attending a show at the Colonial Life Area and did not want to drive home after the performance. Check in time was 3:00 pm we arrived just after 2:00 pm because there had been no traffic during our journey. The lady at the desk said it would cost $25 if we wanted to check in early!!!! I said I would wait in the lobby instead. The lot for self-parking at $18 was full but valet parking was offered at the same amount so I had someone park my car. About 2:30 pm, I noticed that two couples were getting their keys and not paying an additional $25. The front desk lady said those people had checked in online, but she would "let me" check in before 3:00. If we had arrived at 9:00 am or very early, I could understand requiring additional money for an early check in. But, less than an hour?? I have traveled all over the world and stayed in many different hotels. No one has EVER required money if I arrived a little before check in time when a room was available. Ridiculous! While the hotel was lovely, comfortable and convenient, short people might have a difficult reaching the bath towels that are store HIGH in the shower. Make sure you get one down or have someone get one down for you.
