Food20 mentions · 1 filmed
- “The evening food includes the usual chopped veggies, cold cuts, mini canapes, and two hot dishes, as well as large bowls of cold options. Just about enough to fill you up, but only just.” 21

- “Guests sometimes comment that bathrooms can be compact in certain room types.” 17
- “The room had the standard desk and TV. There are outlets at the nightstand, but the alarm clock really only lets you use one.” 25

- “The Deluxe Balcony Studio was a great size and good for pre-gaming or entertaining prior to going to an event” 5
- “ugs. Their suite upgrade is okay but not as stellar as the HR.” 24

- “I was upgraded to a suite last time and it had a great view of metro Atlanta.” 24
- “I found the bathroom opposite the closet and minibar. Its small stature felt odd compared to the spacious bedroom and massive living room.” 27
- “Across from the bed, there was a desk with a chair and a lamp. I found the chair really stiff and uncomfortable.” 27

Service19 mentions · 2 filmed
- “Was here for a conference. Great hotel, staff and rooms. Easy to get around.” 13
- “That said, I thought the front desk, valet, and bellhop staff were very friendly. They smiled and greeted me whenever I passed, and I don't doubt maintaining a smile and greeting numerous guests during a busy period takes effort. They did a good job making guests feel welcome.” 27
- “I skipped housekeeping during my stay, but an employee flagged me down in the hallway to ask if I needed anything when she saw me heading to my room one afternoon. I thought that was a nice gesture.” 27
- “Despite it being very busy during my stay, I felt welcomed by the staff and enjoyed quality benefits from my elite status, including an upgrade to an excellent suite.” 27
- “Agree with everything you said, but I'd also add that cleanliness was a con. We had clothes from previous people left under the bed on checkin, dirty and dusty closet area, and housekeeping didn't come for 3 out of 6 days, even after mentioning it after the first day was missed.” 5
- “Housekeeping tends to receive positive comments for cleanliness and responsiveness to requests like extra towels or toiletries.” 17
- “I'd also add that cleanliness was a con. We had clothes from previous people left under the bed on checkin, dirty and dusty closet area, and housekeeping didn't come for 3 out of 6 days, even after mentioning it after the first day was missed.” 5
- “Many guests mention smooth check-in/check-out, especially if arriving at standard times.” 17
- “As you enter, you'll immediately sense the welcoming atmosphere thanks to our attentive staff dedicated to making your stay exceptional.” On camera90:19
- “If you're attending a conference at the Georgia World Congress Center or AmericasMart, the hotel's event-focused operations can be a major plus; staff are generally used to handling special schedules, group check-ins, and related logistics.” 17
- “Overall, my experiences with staff were a bit inconsistent. But were there any major failures? No, and that's the most important element.” 27
- “I would say that the internet service at Centric is much significantly faster than Thompson, though this is something they're working on.” 24
- “When I went to check out, there was nobody in line. A friendly desk agent offered to print a copy of my bill to review a handful of charges from Market and to confirm that my breakfast charges had been erased.” 27
- “First, it was strange finding this abandoned dirty laundry cart in the hallway numerous times during my stay.” 27
- “I struggle to remember seeing any employees at Sway smile, and I'd use that same description for staff at Market. Could they whip up an iced latte quickly? Yes. Did they smile or seem friendly? No.” 27
- “Even when we came downstairs later and then arrived back from the park, I felt like we only ever saw 3-4 other guests. Check-in was obviously quick.” 25
- “Front desk and concierge staff are frequently described as professional, efficient, and used to dealing with complicated travel and event schedules.” 17
- “take the escalator back up to the main level you can't just ruin really cool views of this atrium and I love the glass elevators going up and down to just really kind of leftover from a from a different time” On camera192:44

Location11 mentions
- “The hotel's prime location puts it just minutes away from popular attractions such as Mercedes-Benz Stadium, State Farm Arena, the Georgia Aquarium, King Center, and World of Coca-Cola.” 2
- “The Hyatt Regency offers more of a downtown experience and is closer to Marta, which is useful to get to and from the airport. When the working day has come to an end, Atlanta's Downtown tends to clear out and become a bit dead, making this location very quiet for the evening.” 21
- “I've only stayed at the HR and agree with your description. Aside from being next to MARTA and across from White Oak Kitchen which is a restaurant I've enjoyed several times over the years, its location really doesn't offer much.” 24
- “If you're looking to be in the heart of Atlanta's action, a stay at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta will suit your travel needs just right. That's because this 22-story Hyatt could not be more centrally located, touting an address smack dab in the middle of downtown.” 8
- “Its excellent location in the heart of downtown provides direct access to major attractions and the Peachtree Center MARTA station.” 16
- “The Downtown Hyatt Regency is a good choice for convenience as far as getting there - it is right on top of a MARTA train station and only about a 10-15 minute ride from the airport.” 24
- “The Hyatt Regency Atlanta is conveniently located in the city's downtown.” 26
- “If you're attending an event at either State Farm Arena or Mercedes Benz Stadium, this is the perfect location. Easy walk from the hotel. Felt very safe walking over as a solo female.” 5
- “The Hyatt Centric Midtown Atlanta is a few stops north of downtown and within easy walking distance from the metro station. It is also near Piedmont Park, where we spent the evening.” 25
- “Great downtown location with easy connection to public transport and airport” 26
- “We prefer the location of the Grand Hyatt Atlanta In Buckhead Hotel in Buckhead Hotel Vs. the Hyatt Regency Atlanta. Buckhead is the location of most of the best hotels in Atlanta, including Waldorf Astoria Atlanta Buckhead, The Whitley, A Luxury Collection Hotel Atlanta Buckhead, Mandarin Oriental Atlanta, and the InterContinental Buckhead.” 21
Noise5 mentions
- “My suite was in the corner on the 18th floor, which I assumed would make it rather quiet. However, the neighbor who insisted on slamming the door every time she went in refuted my assumption.” 27
- “Other reviewers were annoyed with the many sounds that were audible from neighboring rooms and hotel facilities (some suggested requesting a room on a higher floor).” 8
- “Noise can be an issue, traveling into rooms from the cacophonous atrium-lobby and the bustling city outside.” 26
- “I loved the glass walls and open views from the elevators, which provide a much more scenic ride than a closed elevator at most hotels.” 27
- “Thompson Buckhead: Pros: Relatively new. Can use Amex FHR here, rooms were very quiet and intimate per the brand standards.” 24
Bathroom6 mentions
- “The spacious bathrooms are equipped with hair dryers and complimentary toiletries, and some even feature a roll-in shower.” 2
- “The bathroom is large with a tub/shower combo with they typical Hyatt bath amenities you find at the Hyatt Place brand.” 25
- “Looks normal Reply Share natasha_c • 2y ago For a suite, it seemed small to me Reply Share Jamikest • 2y ago Local hotel to me. We stay here frequently for date nights and have stayed in the corner suites. The bathroom is small.” 5
- “Bathrooms are slick and compact, with faux-wood tiling in the shower stalls; hairdryers and KenetMD bath products are provided.” 26
- “Jamikest • 2y ago Local hotel to me. We stay here frequently for date nights and have stayed in the corner suites. The bathroom is small.” 5
- “While the water pressure was great, the shower took long enough to heat up that I started feeling bad about the amount of water I was wasting every day - several minutes' worth.” 27
Value9 mentions · 1 filmed
- “The Hyatt Centric Midtown Atlanta is an affordable option in the city at only 12,000 Hyatt points per night. Depending on the demand, cash rates can also be quite reasonable.” 25
- “Previous visitors said the room rates definitely reflect the hotel's location, but concede that its value is unbeatable. However, some guests weren't as pleased with the lackluster rooms at this hotel, citing uninspiring decor and mediocre features.” 8
- “On-site meals are often more expensive than fast-casual places in Peachtree Center or along Peachtree Street.” 17
- “After shopping around, I decided that 6,000 Hyatt points plus $75 plus taxes at the Hyatt Centric Midtown Atlanta (which was actually branded as just the Hyatt Atlanta Midtown at the time) was a decent deal for our third night.” 25
- “Overall, the room was nice, functional and about what I expected it to be for the brand and price.” 25
- “The 2 elite benefits I enjoyed most from my stay were the daily breakfast and the upgrade to a Deluxe Suite, which cost $492 per night before tax.” 27
- “Previous visitors said the room rates definitely reflect the hotel's location, but concede that its value is unbeatable.” 8
- “With a rotating floor that offers 360-degree views of the city, Polaris is a modern, brightly lit space that's worth the trip upstairs.” 26
- “Hotel is a pretty good deal on points I believe it's 12 000 points a night but the rate was cheap enough that we paid cash for our stay” On camera193:14
Bed & Sleep1 mention
