What makes the Hyatt Place different from other hotels and accommodations?<\/em><\/p>\n

The first thing is location, as we are right off the interstate making it easy to get to and easy to get to all the wonderful places within Hampton Roads. Next would be our roomy rooms. They are rooms are very spacious, some even call them suites since every room have a living room area with a L-shaped sleeper sofa. The Hyatt Place<\/a> is also one of the newest hotels in the area so it has its perks. This Hyatt Place<\/a> opened in 2019. We also have on-site meeting spaces, which is perfect for grooms to get ready or to have everyone meet up for a private breakfast the day after the wedding<\/a>! The best part? We’re affordable! Being off the oceanfront, our prices tend to be a more economical options for guests! Lastly, parking is a big one since we have a large open parking lot, great for buses & vans.\u00a0 (some folks do not like shared parking garages).<\/p>\n

The Hyatt Place<\/a> offers Courtesy Block Agreements for our Wedding<\/a> groups! We offer 15 rooms (mix of kings & double queen bed rooms) to start off with- once original amount is picked up, we add more to the block if needed. We do not charge for any rooms not picked up in the group block- they are released to the general public once your 30 day, prior to check-in cutoff date has passed. Once we receive a signed Courtesy Block Agreement<\/a>, we set-up the group block & personalized booking website. Then we send to the group contact to add to their wedding<\/a> website or send out to family\/guests needing lodging.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best way to word block booking information to guests?<\/em><\/p>\n

We suggest the group contact adds the personalized booking<\/a> website link & reservation number that we will provide, to their wedding<\/a> website or send out on invitations.<\/p>\n

How far in advance should couples block rooms and make accommodations?<\/em><\/p>\n

If During the Summer or a Holiday Weekend ASAP or 6 months to a Year.<\/p>\n

What should couples avoid when booking?<\/em><\/p>\n

We normally require all group blocks from April- October to have a 2-night minimum stay, if on the weekend. We recommend the group contact to reach out to out of town guests attending & ask about how many nights they plan on staying before reaching out for a quote. Discounted group rates<\/a> are dependent on length of stay & rates can vary significantly based on 2 vs. 3- or 4-night stays.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the biggest question couples should be asking when booking for their accommodations?<\/em><\/p>\n
