Hyatt Place Provo Review

My son has been at college at BYU in Provo, Utah for a few years, and I have visited him a few times. One of my go-to hotels when visiting him is the Hyatt Place Provo. I recently got back from a flash trip to visit my son out at college in Utah. During one of my stays, I stayed at 2 different Hyatt hotels in the area – first  at the Hyatt House Provo / Pleasant Grove and my second night was at the Hyatt Place Salt Lake City/Lehi. I’ve also stayed at the Hampton Inn Provo and the Holiday Inn Express American Fork / North Provo.

I have stayed at the Hyatt Place Provo a few times, and this Hyatt Place Provo review will give an idea of the different amenities and features and hopefully help you decide if you want to stay here if you’re in the area.

Hyatt Place Provo location

The Hyatt Place Provo is located at 180 West 100 North, Provo, Utah, 84602, right in Downtown Provo. Unlike the Hyatt House Provo / Pleasant Grove, the Hyatt Place Provo is ACTUALLY in Provo, and is quite convenient to I-15 as well as BYU (about a 5-10 minute drive depending where on campus you’re going).

Hyatt Place Provo cost

Cash prices at the Hyatt Place Provo range anywhere from $100 to $200 or more, depending on what is going on. On my dates, the cash price was around $160, and about $190 after tax.

This makes using points a great option. It is currently a Hyatt Category 2 hotel, meaning it has cost me between 8,000 and 9,500 points per night depending on whether it was standard or peak season, giving me about 2.4 cents per point in value.

You can check prices for your nights at the Hyatt Place Provo at HotelsCombined or Hotels.com. You can also read Hyatt Place Provo reviews at TripAdvisor.

Hyatt Place Provo review – room

I reserved a 2 queen beds room at the Hyatt Place Provo, which has the bed as well as a desk and a small sitting room with a couch.

Here is the view from the other side of the room

Hyatt Place Provo amenities

Wifi is complimentary in the lobby and in the guest rooms for World of Hyatt members. The speed doesn’t register as anything amazing but I never had a problem getting anything done while using it.

There is laundry that you have to pay for, meeting rooms and an outdoor pool.

The fitness center is a decent size for a Hyatt Place hotel

There is also a small “business center” which is just a couple of computers in the lobby. Still, it was convenient to print out boarding passes and get a few things done that I needed to.

Hyatt Place Provo hotel review – parking

The one downside to the convenient location of the Hyatt Place Provo is that because it’s in a “downtown” area, parking is not complimentary. Instead, you can park at a parking garage that is directly behind the hotel (to the north, enter off of Freedom Boulevard / 200 West). You can see the garage in the background of the pool picture above. It’s $10 / day with in/out privileges. I would imagine that depending on how much you wanted to save $10 that it would be fairly easy to find free on-street parking in the area.

There are also a few (like 5) parking spaces near the pool that you can access off of 100 West through an alley, but the last time I was there, they were marked as needing a “yellow permit” which I asked about and was told those were for handicap or elderly parking.

I chose to just park in the garage. When I arrived at the hotel and checked in, I just parked in front of the hotel in the loading area. After I checked in, I just drove around the corner and parked in the garage.

Hyatt Place Provo food

Hyatt Place Provo breakfast is complimentary for all guests. There was a bit of signage that it was only complimentary for Discoverist and up members, and also only for any World of Hyatt member, and $8 for all other guests. But I spoke to the gate agent and at least as of my latest visit, it is complimentary for all guests. There was nobody at the breakfast area checking your room or anything.

There is a small breakfast area right next to the lobby, which also doubles as “The Place” where you can buy food in the evenings.

There is more seating to the left of the lobby.

There was a sign near the breakfast / eating area that no outside food or drinks are allowed. I assume that this just means in the lobby – I had no problem picking up some food and taking it up to my room.

Breakfast had your standard fare of eggs, hash browns, rotating different meats (sausage, bacon, etc) and French Toast sticks, which was a bit better than similar hotels.

There were also various cold items and juices.

Hyatt Place Provo hotel review – the bottom line

Overall this was a good stay if you need to stay in the Provo area or are visiting BYU. I would mostly recommend it on points but if you can pick it up on a cheap cash rate it’s super convenient to most things in the area.
