Great stay at the Hyatt!
Our stay at the Hyatt Place Columbia was amazing. Checking in was very easy with David, the manager. The rooms were immaculate, spacious and comfortable. The housekeeping staff was so kind and helpful. In the morning, we had a great breakfast, hot and fresh. Will definitely choose Hyatt in the future!

Okay for an overnight
A fairly new and nice property, orientation is odd , the back of the hotel faces Gervais street ( the google address and directions) and the entrance is actually facing another street behind . Staff was largely absent except the nice young woman at check in who claimed they were aware of the confusion re: the address but there was nothing they could do about it. Breakfast was mediocre but better than some we’ve seen. Room was comfortable and bathroom/ shower were nice.

Stay was just ok.
The place is ok. We were here visiting USC. Location is perfect but hotel could use some deep cleaning and updates. Mattress was horrible, bathroom had some issues, and the breakfast was just ok. Staff was very pleasant and helped with food recommendations.

Great location, very convenient.
Perfect spot to walk to a concert at Colonial Life. Kayleigh at the front desk was very warm and helpful. Room was comfy (could use a couple thick blankets though) and breakfast wasn’t bad. Parking was incredibly easy and I love that valet was same price as self-park.

I was in town for the Pink concert. The location was excellent. It's an easy walk to the Colonial Life Arena. I parked on the street around the corner from the hotel. Tons of restaurants nearby.
Carrie at the front desk did a great job of handling the onslaught of guests checking in before the show. (Free drinks at the bar because my room wasn't ready were a nice perk.)
When a room was ready, I was given room 330. Somehow, I misunderstood what room I was in and tried to enter room 225. That misunderstanding was completely MY fault. Carrie had given me keys to an unoccupied room, and I took it upon myself to enter the wrong room.

Just ok
Couldn’t check in until after 5:30 instead of the 3:00 checkin due to rooms not being ready. Beds not comfortable. Heard weird scratching noises all night long. Room definitely not designed for a woman in mind as there was no bright lighting anywhere to do makeup and hair. Otherwise, very clean hotel and staff is very polite.

Great Option in Downtown Columbia
The hotel was very nice, clean, and comfortable. Parking is limited, so be prepared to wait for a parking space in the busy evening hours. There are many great restaurants nearby. The breakfast was good -- nice hot breakfast selection as well as continental breakfast items. Coffee was good, too.
The towels in my room had makeup stains on them. I wish the laundry service could get these stains out before they place them in the room for me to use.
In room coffee service is poor. Housekeeper did not replace coffee pods used my first night.
Television had good offerings and was a larger television than normally found in other hotels.
I will be back next year for my business activities in Columbia. It is one of the better hotels in downtown Columbia.
