    I've stayed at this Hyatt a few times and I definitely recommend it. Why I like it... * Rooftop restaurant with good food * Good free breakfast, not your typical continental breakfast * Great, accommodating staff * Clean and aesthetically pleasing * Connected to the Classic Center * Within walking distance of several great restaurants

    This is one of the best Hyatts I have stayed. Everything was very neat and clean. The staff was super helpful and the room was large and spacious. Our room had a great view of downtown which was really cool to see. Breakfast was full and flavorful. We had a really nice stay and I will be back.

    This is probably the best Hyatt Place hotel in the chain. Spotless, the front desk representatives were kind, knowledgeable and well dressed. Our room had view of downtown which was nice. Parking is $10 day. The breakfast was fantastic with full buffet. They have a rooftop bar, which is awesome, food was good. The lobby bar had full liquor and 4 different draft beers! Within walking distance of restaurants downtown Athens and everything UGA!

    If you are in town for a game this is the hotel to stay at. It's conveniently walking distance which is a good. The room was comfortable and clean, friendly staff we enjoyed our experience here. I even ended up leaving something in the room and they were able to find it for me. I even got a call and email to follow up so that it could be mailed back to me, did i mention the turn around didn't take long. And not a long wait for parking which is also a plus side when staying at a hotel having to wait long for your car.

    A solid 4 stars for one of the only rooftop bars in Athens! A bar in close proximity to Sanford Stadium, this place is on the roof of the Hyatt Place in Downtown Athens. Great drinks, beautiful views of downtown and great food to accompany the drinks. The service was great and the prices were decent. We will be back!

    View from our room

    Very nice and reasonable priced. Room was huge, bed was comfy, very clean!' Bathroom was nice, large walk in shower and great water pressure!! Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included and had a great selection. We were pleased with our stay. Will definitely look to stay at more Hyatt hotels.

    This review is for HyBar - the rooftop bar/restaurant of the Hyatt! Definitely go for the sunset views - it's gorgeous! There seemed to be no host, the servers would just come up & seat you - but we waited 40 minutes for a table because the servers rarely came up to seat you. Once we were seated we had good service but it was also slow - you could tell they were understaffed & our server was manning half the tables. I got the chicken sandwich which was DELISHHHH. The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside & soft on the inside. I split a Beer Me bucket with a friend which was a really good deal - 5 cans (12-16 oz) for $20. I thought it would be expensive since it's a hotel rooftop bar but i'm actuality it is all very affordable. I would come back!

    Upon settling into my room with my 4 month old I discovered hair, what appeared to be balls of toilet paper, lint, and unknown brown specs in the bed once the sheets were pulled back. I immediately called the front desk as it was obvious our room was not cleaned. They immediately relocated us to another room - an upgraded suite. I asked to inspect it based on the last room for the safety of my infant especially in light of COVID. The hotel staff accompanied me. When she pulled back the covers there was a large splattered stain of what appeared to be blood - in the bed of the 2nd room. She immediately refunded my husband and I for our stay and we are now on the road at 1 am with our baby which is what we were hoping to avoid. Given the unhygienic nature of both rooms I would not recommend anyone stay here.

    Live Wire Athens did not disappoint! Daniel and staff worked hard to create the upscale nightclub…read moreambiance we were after for our Dead Beat Club event. Everything about Live Wire is top-notch: Beautiful venue, superb sound and lighting, and a cocktail lounge that rivals any in our area. Add the courtyard with elevated deck area and it offers a cozy place for all. So many of our guests commented on the fact that they had never been there, and that it was now on their radar screen. So the next time you don't know what to do on a Tuesday summer evening, drop in to experience all that is Live Wire Athens. Tiki Taco Tuesday is coming up every week and you can enjoy Don Carne tacos and a beautifully crafted cocktail at this local family-owned and operated venue. Check their calendar for more public events, or talk to them about your wedding, graduation party, or family reunion. See you Tuesday!

    LIVE WIRE FILTERS OUT THEIR GOOGLE REVIEWS, SO YOU CAN NOT LEAVE AN HONEST REVIEW THERE…read more We are writing to express our profound disappointment with the event coordination for our 20-year reunion. The experience was incredibly unprofessional, and the Class of '04 Reunion Committee felt disrespected after having paid for your services. Initially, we selected Live Wire based on the positive reviews on your social media platforms. However, after checking other review sites like Yelp, it became clear that our negative experience was not unique. We encountered significant issues with conflicting information about the services provided by your staff. Despite multiple attempts to contact our event coordinator, Erika, we did not receive clear or consistent answers to our questions. During our visit on June 25th, we were given conflicting information yet again, but your general manager, Algy, and other staff were the most pleasant and spoke with us with the level of customer service a paying client expects. Attempts to visit the venue during stated hours of operation were fruitless, as the venue was closed each time. Given the high cost of renting this venue, we expected a much higher level of service and professionalism. After speaking with the owner, Erin, we were told that we were "wasting her time" because she and other members of management had to be involved when our event coordinator, Erika, went unresponsive and we weren't getting our questions answered. Erin also mentioned that she shouldn't be communicating with one of the committee members because they weren't the point of contact, yet she was willing to take an additional $350 from our classmate for an extra hour to set up. This inconsistency was unacceptable. This business is in the hospitality and customer service industry, and Live Wire's conduct was severely lacking. We have never heard of an event coordinator not assisting with coordination. When our class representative was told Erika was not an event planner, we were already aware. However, when we expressed our concerns to Erin and Algy, their responses were contradictory. Live Wire can certainly learn from Algy, who communicated professionally while being informative and addressing our issues. If your event coordinator was unable to fulfill the responsibilities of the role, then it raises questions about the standard of service provided. If this venue could not handle event coordination, it should not have taken on the responsibility. Here's the link to UGA's Event Planning and Meeting Management Certificate. Given that this is a college town, as Erin pointed out, perhaps Live Wire could benefit from this training to better reflect professionalism in its operations. On July 4th, we received an email stating changes to our contract and confirmation that the $350 was received for the additional setup hour. Yet, they weren't the point of contact, but the money was taken. As of July 7th, Erin responded to a message indicating that yet again, misinformation was provided. Erin, you stated in your email that you said the same thing as Erika to our class representative, which you certainly did not do. Our class representative even confirmed with you multiple times prior to leaving regarding the timeline for dropping off tablecloths at 2 pm. It's a good thing that in the state of Georgia, you have the right to record conversations as long as one person is aware, and when they spoke with you, the committee was also on the phone and heard the entire conversation. You also forgot to mention that you said if your staff shared the information regarding tablecloths or any items being dropped off and set up before our arrival, you would have to speak with your team. Sounds like a lack of communication amongst your staff that had nothing to do with the client. The fact that you blatantly lied about your conversation in an email truly shows this venue for what it is. Neither you nor Erika owned up to any customer service lapses, which was mind-blowing. On July 8th, Erika finally reached out to our point of contact by phone and provided direct contact information, less than four days before our event. The simple fact that there was a thread going back and forth between your event coordinator and our point of contact prior to July 8th and your event coordinator went unresponsive is what warranted the call for clarity yet again. And it seems that both you and your event coordinator are on the same page when it comes to telling the customer to make sure we have a great time at the event and not to worry about logistics leading up to it. So, you wanted us to put trust in the fact that everything would work itself out, but your business has made that impossibly hard to do.
