Good evening, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. Hope this blog meets you well. It's such a pleasure to be able to share another blog with you all on this beautiful Sunday evening in Hampton, Georgia.
Last week, my sweet babies and I took a much needed break from home for a short getaway in Buckhead, Atlanta. I was excited about it and so were my babies. Of course I asked them what they were looking forward to and they said the indoor pool. My kids love the swimming pool and they didn't get that from me. I am from the Sahara dessert okay? Lol... I didn't go near a pool until I was 15 years old.
f tea.
The name of the hotel we stayed at is Fairfield Inns and Suites by Marriott in Buckhead, Atlanta. I loved the location of the hotel and the staff were friendly. The kids and I had a blast at the swimming pool. The depth was 3ft deep and it was perfect. My son had a blast. I think one of the best things about the hotel is the indoor pool. The price is fair and worth it also. Loved parking on site and it was only $12 per day. What?!
Breakfast was complimentary and that's amazing because not every hotel offers that. Here comes what I want to share with you today. So the morning before we checked out, we went to eat breakfast. My kids asked for biscuits and sausages. I advised them that we would have to eat what the hotel had for us, as this was not our home. I don't think they understood what I was explaining but they kindly accepted it. The hotel's selection of breakfast food was not bad but I wished they had warm eggs, sausages and biscuits. They had some frozen sandwiches but they are not the same as fresh. My kids got to see first hand how different breakfast can be else where, for the first time. They finally settled for breakfast muffins and orange juice. While I ate a little bit of the frozen sandwich and drank a hot cup of deca
If I could suggest one thing for the Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriot at Buckhead, Atlanta, to improve on, it would be to make warm eggs, biscuits and sausages available for families. Maybe I'm being partial because that's what I make my kids every morning lol.
Have you ever just taken yourself and family for a short getaway? If not, give it a try. It does wonders.
I felt refreshed to go back to work when we got back from our getaway. Now we are looking forward to another getaway.
Hello wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are y'all doing today? I hope you're all having a great day and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful. Thank you all for joining me today.
My sweet babies and I spent a much needed time at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta in the month of July, 2020. This was our first stay at The Hyatt and I must say that I was very impressed with the hotel and the staff.
Upon arrival, we were met with a few smiling faces who were ready to assist us. It was a pleasant sight and experience.
Valet service was exquisite. Our car was always ready whenever we needed it and the staff was always prompt on our request. CAUTION: Valet parking costs $50 per night. If you don't want to use Valet services, you have the option of parking your car at a public parking lot about a block away from the hotel. If you asked me, I'd recommend Valet services at the hotel, especially, if you have kids. The last thing you want to do is drag your luggage and your kids through the busy streets. Just thinking about it alone is dreadful to me.
Their gym was fully loaded with great workout machines. I enjoyed using their Peloton Stationary Bike and benches.
The kids had fun working out too
I couldn't imagine dragging my luggage and managing two toddlers, while trying to keep them safe in the busy downtown traffic. Although, I thought that $50 was a little too high for overnight parking, I paid for the services anyway. I was prepared. Always make sure you are prepared for unexpected expenses and tips, when taking a trip
Upon reaching the lobby, we encountered some friendly staff at the check-in desk who were very happy to assist us however they could. They were very nice ladies.
Watch our Hotel Lobby Tour here:
Due to COVID-19, many of their services are limited and some essential services such as changing your bedding and cleaning your room are on request. The management is limiting close contacts as much as possible to prevent the spread of the virus.
I was a little disappointed that the restaurant was closed because I wanted my kids to experience room service for the first time. The hotel has a little cafe called The Market, located at the lobby. They have breakfast and lunch on-the-go. I didn't order breakfast nor lunch because they didn't have what I wanted on the menu.
Thank God for Door Dash. I ordered some delicious food from local restaurants using myDoor DashAppand I must recommend Door Dash. If you haven't downloaded the App yet, please do. You will find it very useful when you're travelling or even at home.
My kids enjoyed exploring the lobby and the hotel in general. It was truly an enjoyable experience for us.
The view from our room was fun. My son was fascinated with all the tall buildings that he could see through our balcony window. He couldn't stop telling me about how gigantic the buildings were.
The room decor was simple and elegant. I loved the natural tone decor and lamps. They even have Google chrome on their flat screen TVs. That was life saving because my kids wanted to watch their favorite YouTube shows and kept asking me to turn it on. It took us a second to figure it out. After I had tried for over 2 hours trying to get it to work, I gave up. When we asked the staff at the lobby for help, they offered it. A technician was sent to our room within the hour to fix it for us. I thought that was great service too.
My kids had a pee explosion the night before and when I called for new sheets, the hotel responded promptly. Another great service in my book.
Our weekend was enjoyable and fun. The kids and I can't wait to go back to the Hyatt again.
We signed up forWorld of Hyatt App and the perks available are incredible. You could win free hotel stays and more. What?!! One amazing feature that I really like in the App is; Room key. Your room key can be activated on your App. In the event that you lose your key, your App can be used to access the doors. Isn't that cool?! In addition to that, Google Chrome can be accessed using the App as well.
The Hyatt Regency Atlanta is situated at a great location and is a great place to consider when taking a trip.
I have the desire to travel more with my kids and by the grace of God, we will travel more. As the world gets back in order and things settle, we will be taking short trips and checking out new places. I will be very happy to share our experience with you all.
Until then...
I hope you have a fantastic day.
Don't be afraid to pursue any dream you have. Live life to the fullest each day.
