Breakfast not starting earlier put a damper on our morning as we were headed out for softball and then had that as an added expense that we weren’t planning on. Also parking lot was full and had to use parking lot couple blocks away.

avoid hotels.com and Hyatt Place

horrific experience with Hotels.com and Hyatt Place. Hyatt Place changed their min night policy, misrepresented my 1 night stay as two and hotels.com proposed a work around refund in writing that they refuse to honor on the back end. Room was in bad shape - shades broken and kleenex box left empty. Use a different app altogether & stay at a different hotel for your 4 yrs of school visits.
