Hyatt Place in Pensecola, FL REVIEW - MASTER THREAD
Has anyone stayed there ? I understand it is fairly new. Im interested in going for a couple of days with my wife and 17month old daughter. At only 5,000 pts a night, im thinking about paying additional for the Executive Suite. Its only a cat1 so not expecting much, but figure Id allow my 17 month old more room to run around.
Any thoughts on the location, or executive suite itself ?

What does the Executive Suite get you? All Hyatt Place rooms are already junior suites. If the exec suite is a 1 bedroom, I could see that being worth it with older children but doesn't sound necessary for a 17 month old particularly if you are only going for a couple days.

Inside I can't help you with. But I did note the location last time I was in Pensacola just before the hotel opened.
Really is close enough to the terminal you could walk and skip the rental car till morning.

When are you planning to go? I don't know that I can tell you much more than what the lobby looks like, but I'd be happy to walk through and report back when I fly out of the airport again at the end of this month.
BTW, the location is NOT convenient to the beach, but if you're going in the off-season you shouldn't have an issue finding parking at public beach accesses.

So a small trip review. I was there this week, yes, when we had tornadoes.
I had a new giirl at checkin. She was sweet, I gave her some pointers and helped her through the process. The room was great. New style. Love the fact they got rid of the useless cube wall. Full desk that transitions into a dresser, into a closet. Bathroom is now by the door, not other side of the room. I preferred the original sofa over the new choice. I love the full size mirror in the bath.
So I was there when we had thunderstorm and tornadoes. The staff did a great job keeping us in the know and herded together during the intense period.
Unfortunately, we ran out of food. I figure most likely due to everyone staying in and not going out for dinner.
Yes, the airport is walkable (from a fat non walking guy). Out the terminal, though a small garage, under a COVERED walkway to the hotel. Door to door, 4 minutes at most.

My sister is here right now trying to check out. It's pretty frustrating. The person that was working the desk was only filling in for someone else so she didn't know how to 1 - use a gift card and 2-change the credit card on file. So she had to wait for the actual person that works the front desk to come in. My sister, who needed to be gone, had to wait 45 mins to get all of this figured out! I'm quite frustrated by that. She has an 7-8 hour drive ahead of her and lost 45 mins for this. Even once the other woman got there, she spent another 15 mins undoing what the other woman did.
