Hyatt Place Charlotte / University Research Park
Stay Report - 6/29 to 6/30
Location:
The hotel is located in the University Area of Charlotte on WT Harris (NC-24) just west of I-85. It's a good area to be in as there are a bunch of restaurants and other hotels around here (from the HP you can walk to a TGI Fridays, a Cheddars Scratch Kitchen and a few other places) and by virtue of being by I-85 it's an easy drive anywhere. Downtown is less than 20 minutes away.
Hotel:
The hotel is a new construction purpose built HP which as you know I absolutely prefer to an Amerisuites Convert. It has a large parking lot, small outdoor pool, really attractive lobby with a business center and a bar area and a breakfast area. There are two elevators and there were no waits. Do note the hotel is very recently opened and that means some issues. That includes no beer or wine as they don't have their liquor license yet and very limited breakfast.
Check In:
All the employees were friendly but I'm not sure how well they're trained in Hyatt benefits. They didn't seem to know the different levels or benefits for them. I was able to get my free water at least.
Room:
Very nice though a little smaller than the old HP rooms but with a much better bathroom. The bed was large and comfortable and had power next to it, the TV was huge, the living room area nice though I do miss the separate kitchen area. Lastly Wifi worked well and soundproofing was fine.
Breakfast:
As I said, very limited. They had breakfast sandwiches but you had to ask for them along with yogurt, fruit and oatmeal. Apparently the spread will improve soon.
Overall it's a much nicer physical hotel than the older HPs by the airport and I look forward to when they're fully open and stocked.
