Room was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. We noticed there were some floor areas that need to be refreshed or repaired but the price was reasonable. Our stay was fine.

Hyatt Place Canton
The only negative was that there are no blackout curtains. There is just a blind that rolls down that is somewhat see thru and there was a light right outside the window that was a bit annoying. Other than that I would give it 5 stars.
