Miles and I were in town for a football game…In fact, it was a surprise trip for Daddio to see the INDIANAPOLIS COLTS!!!!!!!! GO BLUEEEEEEE, COLTS COLTS COLTS!!!!!!! 😉
This is actually my very first Hyatt Place and I have to say…I likey…I likey uh-lot!
The Deets:
- Category 1: 5000 points
- Diamond bennies…500 points, upgrade, breakfast, and a welcome amenity ( gatorade and iced tea)
- We ended up in a “High floor” two double bedded room with pull out sofa
It was very nice. In fact, I’ve often considered living in a Hyatt Place if worked moved me out of town for a prolonged stay in another city and this was the perfect way to see if I’d actually like to do that. I would. I found it to have enough of the amenities that I’d need for a long term stay, and it really piques my interest as to what more would be at a Hyatt House…anywho.
Check in
- swift
- status recognized and upgrade given
The Room
The hotel was great. Easy, central location for both the airport and the game ( like $15 uber ride) and the staff was super friendly.
So would I stay here again? Uhhhhh…that’s hardly even a sane question. To find value in a property, albeit near the airport, that is modern, stylish, clean, and only 5000 points is a downright steal. In fact, this whole surprise trip was only possible because of points. We flew from Indy on a direct flight to Charlotte for just 4500 Avios ( won’t last much longer as BA has eliminated 4500 tiered flights) and then spending the night for just 5000 Gold Passport saved us nearly $1300. Honestly, the trip would have never happened had points and avail not worked out so perfectly.
