Pros:

Can't beat the location or the rooftop bar! Hotel is clean, staff is friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Housekeeping did not clean our room on the first day. Prices were very high for graduation weekend - it would be nice if the hotels did not gouge the parents when coming into town for an event like this.

Great stay! Nice location, nice ambiance
Pros:

This is a really nice Hyatt Place. We travel a lot and this one’s a keeper. It is centrally located downtown and walkable to the town square. The common spaces are quite nice as well and the breakfast is a big plus.

Cons:

The cost of valet was high, but we just self parked which was fine. We had a late flight and they couldn’t offer a late check out. (That is a nice option even if it costs a little bit extra, imo.)
