nice little hotel ... not really close to downtown, but it's very affordable, free breakfast and spacious rooms ... we had the double beds (kinda small and uncomfortable) plus the sleeper sofa and the bar area. the Free breakfast was good and loved the revolving TV... wish it was closer to downtown though ...

The Hyatt Place Hotel is not located in the best area; however the hotel is wonderful. We stayed there for several days while undergoing surgery at St. David's Hospital. The hotel offers excellent rates for those individuals needing a place to stay while receiving medical care. The rooms are very, very large and comfortable and the staff is very helpful and professional. The hotel is very quiet and relaxing.

...but this one had a MAJOR strike against it by not offering anything more than tepid water during our stay. When the water didn't get hot in the sink at night, I didn't panic, as I thought surely there would be hot water in the shower the next morning. No such luck. I stay in hotels a few dozen nights per year and can't remember the last time I stayed somewhere without hot water. That's ridiculous! Also, they didn't do an amazing job replenishing items at breakfast... Perhaps they're understaffed? And finally, I noticed there was no hand lotion, but it turned out not to matter, as my hands always felt soapy and greasy anyway, due to the ultra-soft water.... *sigh* Other than that, it was a standard Hyatt Place, which I generally enjoy.

Great hotel. The check in clerk offered us a choice of floors and went out of her way to be helpful. The lobby is very nice and 2 newspapers were available for free.

The room is contemporary and very well laid out. There was a small sitting room with desk, kitchenette and small fridge. There is also a coffee maker with coffee and tea.

The bathroom has granite counters with a closet on one side and the shower on the other. Towels are placed on a rack at the back of the shower which is great for getting to. Toothpaste, 2 soaps, shampoo and conditioner are provided.

The bed is pillow top with 4 comfortable pillows.

The room was very clean, smelled nice and I wasn't worried about walking barefoot. It is located on the Houston side of Austin and minutes from UT.

A security guard was in the parking lot when we returned around 11 pm.
