City advice

Getting around

If street parking check for street sweeping signs!

Parking is easy. You can street park and use the parking kiosks which take cash, credit/debit cards or the parking garages. Most guests use the parking garage. There is one on Lincoln Street and one on State Street and both are in easy walking distance of the apartment.
Travelling with kids

Clean restrooms open to the public

The Hyatt on Bay in the rear of the lobby has CLEAN restrooms the public can access. The Welcome Center on MLK and down on River Street has clean public restrooms. City Market has public restrooms on the square. Forsyth Park has public restrooms. Most other places are for customers only
Getting around

FREE ferry service to the Westin across the river.

Seriously! You can go back and forth as much as you want and it's FREE and it's FUN! Great views of River Street coming back from the Westin in the evening when it's all lit up for some fantastic photo ops! During the Christmas holidays the lobby of the Westin is all decked out with local Christmas trees and decorations.
Getting around

Elevator on Bay Street adjoined to the Hyatt to River Street

Just a bit of advise especially if you have concerns navigating stairs or walking on uneven surfaces. Getting down from Bay Street to River Street you either have to take VERY steep stairs or walk on the ballast stones that pave the road to River Street. BUT, there is a public elevator on Bay Street adjoined to the Hyatt that is easy to use and will take you down to River Street. Highly recommend especially if you have mobility concerns.
Don't miss

Forsyth Park off Gaston Street

Go experience the local Farmer's Market EVERY SATURDAY in Forsyth Park from 9:00am until 1:00pm. They kids will LOVE the play area and the famous fountain and wide-open space of the park. Lots of running around space and places to ride bikes throughout the park.
Getting around

Old Town Trolly

Great way of getting around town when the walking gets to be a bit much for you. They offer on and off service at a reasonable fare. And, hey, it's FUN!
