I assume why this is called the Panorama Suite is you got windows on both sides you can see both directions pretty cool

Bathroom

  • The bathroom was well-lit, and we were provided with plenty of fresh towels for our family. 2
  • And the bathroom itself is pretty minimal, but also just fine, you know? It has everything that you could need. 13

Location

  • Great location at one end of Main Street 4
  • Last summer, I stayed at the Grand Bohemian Lodge Greenville, Autograph Collection, and I loved it. It's part chic lodge and part art gallery with a central location within walking distance of everything you'll want to do in downtown Greenville. 16

Room

  • The layout of the room was terrific, as it occupied an oddly-shaped corner of the hotel that gave the living room/dining room a "V" shape. 4
  • The Panorama Suite was very spacious, room was clean (no raw or cooked human blood that I could see). 9

  • Be sure to check out Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, right across from the Group Therapy Pub entrance. This Columbus, Ohio-based chain (aka my hometown) has the best ice cream you'll ever taste! 16
  • While I was there only one night and the Husband was there for 3, we were very happy with the hotel. It was very clean, the staff was very friendly, and we would likely stay here again if looking for a place to stay in Greenville. 15

Bathroom5 mentions
  • And the bathroom itself is pretty minimal, but also just fine, you know? It has everything that you could need. 13
  • Paint was flaking off the bathroom walls and into the shower (there was no exhaust fan and it looked like it had just been repainted over and over). 4
  • The bathroom was well-lit, and we were provided with plenty of fresh towels for our family. 2
  • The bathroom was freshly cleaned, but the toilet could have used a little more attention. Thankfully, I travel with my own cleaning supplies, so I was able to take care of this little issue with no trouble. 2
  • The shower was slow to drain, but this maintenance problem can happen at any hotel and is easily repaired. 2
Service12 mentions
  • I recently used a Cat 1-4 FNC at the Hyatt Regency in Greenville SC and was upgraded to a Panorama Suite. I stay at a Hyatt Place for work 10-14 days a month so this was a really nice upgrade. 9
  • Valet parking is $25/night (waived for Globalists on award stays). It wasn't often a fast service. 4
  • Be sure to check out Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, right across from the Group Therapy Pub entrance. This Columbus, Ohio-based chain (aka my hometown) has the best ice cream you'll ever taste! 16
  • Staff was friendly and the room was clean. 9
  • The first morning, housekeeping visited us at the stroke of 8am, despite us having a "do not disturb" sign up AND being in the middle of a three-night stay. 4
  • Service: Weird and, at times, off-putting. 4
  • when i asked the front desk if they could possibly change rooms for me, she told me i was being too aggressive. so i told her to check me out right on the spot. manager came out, called me a name, and checked me out. 9
  • While I was there only one night and the Husband was there for 3, we were very happy with the hotel. It was very clean, the staff was very friendly, and we would likely stay here again if looking for a place to stay in Greenville. 15
  • Restaurant service was slow and harried, refills were tough to come by and the servers were a bit snappy (probably because they were stressed out). 4
  • My family appreciated the friendliness of the hotel staff and the relaxing accommodations of Hyatt Place® Greenville Downtown. 2
  • Car service was slow and, before we checked out, I noticed numerous $3-4 valet charges from on my bill. 4
  • Due to the nature of our trip, we were in-and-out of the hotel numerous times each day, and the valet parking attendants always delivered our vehicle quickly and efficiently. 2

Food10 mentions
  • Between the Trees: This Grand Bohemian Lodge restaurant served a great breakfast. 16
  • Jianna: My meal at this modern Italian restaurant was flawless. I also really enjoyed sitting on the balcony, which overlooked the park's entrance - a perfect spot for people-watching on a warm summer evening. 16
  • Suites had a lovely dining/lounging area that felt like being in a treehouse 4
  • The food and service? Meh. For elite breakfasts, there is a small a la carte menu, as well as a mediocre buffet. 4
  • Scoundrel: This French restaurant served excellent food and had the service to match. 16
  • Passerelle Bistro: I had a lovely lunch on the shady patio of this French cafe, which overlooks Falls Park on the Reedy 16
  • Breakfast was just OK, the buffet option was maybe a step above your typical Hyatt Place buffet, and the cooked to order omelets from the menu were good but not great. I would have been disappointed had I paid for breakfast. 9
  • Up on the Roof: This rooftop bar and restaurant is at the Embassy Suites Riverplace. I loved its brunch, and the views of the city were the perfect backdrop. 16
  • Jianna: My meal at this modern Italian restaurant was flawless. 16
  • A wonderful selection of grab-and-go items is available for hotel guests including delicious muffins that are individually wrapped; boxed hot breakfast options with sausage, french toast sticks, and scrambled eggs; yogurt; and apples. 2

  • In fact, recent guests said the hotel's central location was a highlight, as you can walk to everything Greenville has to offer. 11
  • During the Husband's recent business trip and our mini vaca to Greenville, SC, we stayed at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Greenville. It's conveniently located right in the cute downtown area, an easy walking distance from many shops and restaurants and a beautiful park. 15
