I have written reviews for *other* Hyatt Place's, but after staying at the Hyatt Place in Meridian,…read morethere is proof positive that not all Hyatt Place's are created equal.
Most Hyatt Place properties have basically the same layout which I love. Unlike other properties of this caliber, the rooms were equipped with actual glass cups, heavy quality glass cups that were really appreciated. It's upsetting to pay a premium for a room and have to put up with paper or plastic cups, which cheapens the whole experience! The rooms are very spacious, modern, comfortable (from the beds to the chairs and couches) and depending on where you stay, are kept relatively clean and looking nice. Coming in on a Friday night, with our room facing the parking lot, there was some Friday night motorcycle noise, but not so much that sleep was interrupted.
The Hyatt Place in Meridian is in a great location, central to Boise, Meridian (read great upscale shopping center), and everything being relatively close to the property (please understand, almost anywhere you go in Idaho, you need a car).
The standouts at this property were the *free* breakfast and the staff! The staff was as nice and accomodating as they come! There was one little mistake where we asked for maid service and they heard *no* maid service (not a big deal, we were able to get towels and soaps and etc until they were coming out of our ears, and of course, everyone can make a bed (even tho I was on vacation, but one time isn't a deal killer)).
This property has the best yogurt (yes, yogurt)! I have no idea what they put in it, but it tasted great! It was a highlight each and every day of our stay! And "Renatta", (I hope I'm not butchering her name, here), one of the breakfast servers, was the best! Drink too much the night before? Get a hug from Renatta! Had a great night? Celebrate with a hug from Renatta! Heck, just get a big hug from Renatta! She was a bright addition to the staff and personally, she should get a raise and a medal pinned on her chest! It takes a great effort to be that happy in the morning (a non-morning person would know) and she should be rewarded for it!
This will be a regular stop on future trips to Boise. Stand out staff, great location and spacious, comfortable rooms and wonderful breakfasts are the reasons to stay!
