I was attending a conference at a hotel a few blocks away but wanted a more economical option. Hyatt Place fit the bill perfectly! The rates were great, saving me hundreds of dollars compared to the special conference rate at the conference hotel. Hyatt Place is centrally located, and was nice to hop right off the train from ATL and be at the hotel in minutes. The place was clean, staff friendly, and I got a huge king suite with a separate couch and sitting area, mini kitchen, and large bath-counter space. The bathroom itself was small but was clean and functional. The rooms are devoid of color (all brown) so not an inspiring or modern hotel, but I found them clean, with comfy beds and great power options around the room to work and stay in comfort. The gym is not good if you want to do anything but get on a machine, FYI- one 5lb dumbbell set, two treadmills, an elliptical and a Peloton squished into a tiny room. Breakfast was nice to have with a variety of hot and cold options. The area is fine, it's downtown and not much different than Chicago so I wasn't bothered, and walked around early evening with no issues. If you're particularly worried about safety, there is a visible security guard at the hotel lobby at night.
