We stayed at the hotel because we were attending a show at the Colonial Life Area and did not want to drive home after the performance. Check in time was 3:00 pm we arrived just after 2:00 pm because there had been no traffic during our journey. The lady at the desk said it would cost $25 if we wanted to check in early!!!! I said I would wait in the lobby instead. The lot for self-parking at $18 was full but valet parking was offered at the same amount so I had someone park my car. About 2:30 pm, I noticed that two couples were getting their keys and not paying an additional $25. The front desk lady said those people had checked in online, but she would "let me" check in before 3:00. If we had arrived at 9:00 am or very early, I could understand requiring additional money for an early check in. But, less than an hour?? I have traveled all over the world and stayed in many different hotels. No one has EVER required money if I arrived a little before check in time when a room was available. Ridiculous! While the hotel was lovely, comfortable and convenient, short people might have a difficult reaching the bath towels that are store HIGH in the shower. Make sure you get one down or have someone get one down for you.

Extended our stay 2 more weeks as house being remodeled/repaired. Staff here is very hospitable & can’t do enough to make it easy for us. This is obviously a well managed facility & employees are exceptional in every way! Hyatt is my new favorite hotel. I just wish pets were more segregated.

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.

Overall the hotel is nice. Great location with solid dining options within walking distance. However, as is with the hotel industry as a whole, there are simple things that have taken a slide over the past 5 years that frankly…are piss poor. I’m not one to whine about cost if there are amenities that match the cost. You would think that for $750 per night, there would possibly be a couple of bottles of water in the little “dorm room” refrigerator, and maybe the towels would be a little less like sandpaper. The room was spacious and clean, but few of the benefits of paying for a nice hotel are just missing. This could be wrong, but I do not believe that the profit margins are so tight that we need to be taken advantage of any longer. COVID has passed! It’s time to return to basic amenities. Remember when air travel and hotel stays used to be fun, and a bit posh? Well their not now and I now lump hotel stays in the pile with air travel.
