Hyatt Place proved the perfect place for our trip to New York City over Labor Day weekend. Even during the pandemic and with the new restrictions placed on businesses, we adapted to the transitioning times. Upon walking in we found hand sanitizing stations around the lobby, front desk and elevator/common areas. Other than the Plexiglass divider and masks worn by staff and guests, the check-in process was similar to pre-COVID times, with the outstanding difference of signing a waiver and providing information about our previous 48 hours of travel. This would inform the front desk if you would be required to quarantine in the hotel based on your last location. Since we were coming from Pennsylvania, we were cleared.
For New York City, and with a king-sized bed, the guest quarters were quite impressive, averaging 250 square feet. After walking around the city exploring all morning and early afternoon, we were ecstatic to set everything down and chill for a few moments. The bed was comfortable and soft, perfect for a great night’s sleep between adventures and long days. The bathroom was a bit small but had the standard features, with a rain shower and accommodated all it needed to. Our room had a mini fridge set up with a small coffeemaker on top, along with a standing dresser near the door with a security box. I have to brag the room-darkening shades over the windows were the cherry on top.
While I have seen other hotels use stickers to indicate sanitized rooms and additional cleaning measures, this room felt, looked and smelled clean. We could tell housekeeping services had been in this room after cleaning and had enough assurances even without the sealed sticker rooms.
While not all hotels do, this Hyatt Place hotel did provide breakfast in the morning. Now, due to COVID, the hotel closed off the breakfast area and instead provides takeaway boxes you can carry up to your room. I was a bit disappointed and surprised with the breakfast — a granola bar, apple, container of cereal and a packaged muffin. We were not offered a drink of water or juice, but we came prepared with our own waters. Our use of the hotel room was strictly for a night’s stay close to Times Square; however, due to the pandemic the fitness center is closed until further notice, face coverings are required at all times outside of your room, and food service is limited.
