Hotel no longer offers valet parking and requires customers to find parking on the street. Toilet in my room was leaky, we were able to change rooms but could not recover full size shampoo we had forgotten in the room we switched. Only one elevator working. Unfortunately, will not stay there again

Close to University of Florida and close to some good places to eat dinner. There is also an old theater nearby. Parking is a bit of a challenge during the week unless you pay for their valet.

No Streaming. No Handicapped Parking

this is not the Hyatt problem, but we needed handicapped parking close to the hotel and the handicapped spaces were blocked off by the city of Gainesville. your staff had no idea and didn't know how to help us. I managed. Also, the Google cast did not work in the room. I have a Mac and I tried a phone, a tablet and a laptop and nothing worked. So overall, since it was a cool place, it was nice but you know the two things we really would've liked to have had we're not available.

The room does not have enough closet and drawer space. Parking is tough. There are only a few street parking spaces, first come first serve, and to move after 8 hours. The only alternative is go to a covered parking two blocks away. Not good for older people especially when it rains.
