Hyatt Place UC Davis

Was charged multiple times for a pre paid room for Davis Graduation. Staff not helpful in removing additional charges. It still has not been fixed. Do not pre-pay for a hotel here.

We have stayed at this Hyatt many times. It is currently a DUMP. We paid over $600 a night due to surge pricing. We expected basic maintenance. The wall paper was coming off in the bathroom. The room smelled off pets. The woodwork was terribly scratched. Someone had painted part of the wall a different color. We had no maid service.

Staff at the Hyatt Place, Davis offered a very welcoming atmosphere. The room was perfect, easily accessible and very quiet.

Not a posh room but clean and a really good size. Comfortable couch and bed. Very friendly front desk staff. Being on campus, not super close to restaurants or entertainment but downtown is within walking distance if you don’t mind a 20 minute walk to get there. Campus is very nice, clean, and quiet ( was there end of May). Only downside was the walls seemed a bit thin, could easily hear activity in the hallway.

Horrible rude and unprofessional reception staff, no housekeeping. Old and tired rooms. As bad as it gets. Motel 6 quality at Ritz prices!!! Stay away.

Very disappointing experience. We were told at check-in that our two reservations could be merged so we could stay in the same room, only to be told the next day that we had to move immediately. The hotel was apparently experiencing technical issues, but guests were not informed in advance. The manager, Kimdra, was rude and dismissive when we tried to resolve the situation. We were even threatened with additional surcharges despite following the instructions given by hotel staff. Compensation that was discussed was never provided. Mistakes happen, but poor communication, lack of accountability, and unprofessional management made this a frustrating stay.

Really bad service and average breakfast. Way too expensive for what was provided as far as room , no service and breakfast

I’m writing the review that I would have appreciated seeing before booking with Hyatt Place Davis. The hotel is located immediately alongside the interstate, and road noise was loudly present inside my room, even with a pillow over my head while trying to sleep. I checked in around 8PM, and it appeared that there was only one employee present on site, which felt unsafe to me as it was a sizeable hotel with multiple unmonitored entries. I was given a room with motorized blinds in the windows; however, controls were not intuitive and raising the blinds was not possible. Therefore, my experience of being in the room was of being in a bunker. The room similarly had unlabeled shower controls, and I was unable to find a setting that turned water off once I finished showering. Therefore, the shower dripped all night. Though this is a suburban location and everyone arrives here by car, there is an additional charge for parking. The off-site parking alternative requires leaving your car alongside a busy road with potential for theft; not an inviting scenario for a traveler. Bottom line, you can probably do better.

Bait and switch experience. Booked this hotel over other less expensive ones because of the facilities, in particular the restaurant that the website claims is open 7 days a week from 6 am until midnight. This is not the case. The hotel no longer has a restaurant. It serves a sad breakfast. Having looked at it, we didn't bother eating there. But no other food. The "Market" was even sadder selling a meagre selection of soda, beer, chips etc. and what looked like jello fruit cups. No sandwiches, salads, or the like. Apart from the blatant lying on the website about food provision (also, the claim of a "high floor" room when the hotel is only 4 stories is a bit dubious), the rest of the hotel was fine but lackluster. Rooms were spacious, if oddly designed with a windowless bathroom taking up half the outward facing wall. This made the place somewhat dingy for work in the day, especially with the lounging and desk area stuck towards the rear. The room was fairly noisy. It had fridge and in room AC units that woke me up several times in the night. A shower that made a high pitch whine when in use, intermittent banging from pipes in the bathroom wall whether we were using the bathroom or not, and the thud of kids running up and down the corridor. Music from some sort of festival and kids playing outside could also be easily heard, but that, at least, was not overnight. Room was poorly cleaned with a couple of the glasses having something sticky on the rims and one of the towels being stained. TV controller was temperamental. Matress was towards the end of its comfortable life. There are plenty of hotels in Davis that can meet a similar standard for about 2/3rds of the price. I will be choosing one of those next time. There was a really lovely woman on reception, though.

Excellent location and lovely staff. (Thank you, Naomi, for finding our reservation!) However, there is considerable room for improvement: 1.) the checking-in system needs to be overhauled. It is very disorganized and we ended up being assigned an extra room that belonged to someone else. 2.) there is a pervasive odor in the hotel (mold/chemical solvent/both?) 3.) the pull-out bed in one of our rooms had dead bugs (we're really hoping that they aren't bed bugs) and crumbs. That same room also had a terrible sewage type smell.
