| - Just a note, there are TONS OF DETAILS LISTED BELOW:
This hotel is located off the strip, which is what we wanted for our one-night stay. I booked it about two weeks before and was able to snag a deal for $98 a night via AAA Travel deals. And it proved to be a good value for the price!
This place used to be an AmeriSuites, so all the rooms are spacious with two double beds and a pull-out sofa sleeper. It can sleep almost up to 6, if needed. It is very clean and the linens are modern. All rooms come equipped with a 42" flat screen as well, which you can hook up to your computer. Free wi-fi too with a pretty strong signal.
Check-in was really quick, they have two monitors in the lobby that you can use to swipe your credit card to pay. It dispenses your key cards, and you can go straight up to your room without having to wait in line at the desk.
There are only two elevators, but the wait isn't horribly long - though the elevator is somewhat slow as it ascends to the top floors. We had a room that faced UNLV, and it was quiet. No complaints about airplanes flying overhead.
Conveniently located across the street from a CVS pharmacy and Red Mango frozen yogurt in a strip mall with a shoe shop, restaurants (happy hour cocktails!) and few other odd places. The Hard Rock is close by as well. We jayed it across the street and picked up some snacks and other toiletries from CVS.
Beware - the shuttle can pick you up from the airport, but you will have to wait if they aren't in the area. Call the hotel after landing to insure that they'll be there after you pick up your baggage. The shuttle also runs from the hotel to and from Planet Hollywood. Call the front desk if you need a cab.
They serve continental breakfast in the mornings, but they stop serving at 9:30am on weekdays. So get there early if you want to partake! No sleeping in until 9:15am!
Starbucks coffee, apple and orange juice, milk, cereal, toast, bagels, english muffins, fresh fruit. Pickings can be slim since lots of people want free food. The line for toasting things is horrid, since people just sit in front of the toaster WAITING for it to toast. Hop in line and kindly slide your goodies in there while they hog the toaster so yours comes out in a decent amount of time.
All in all, Hyatt Place is a great deal and great place to stay for conventions or just to get away from the chaos of the strip.
