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!

Everyone was so nice and friendly from the minute you walked into the hotel. The night male check in receptionist was extremely helpful and nice and the check out receptionist was friendly. I loved the breakfast options and the very friendly, upbeat breakfast lady. We enjoyed the heated pool the night before check out. I had a great stay & look forward to staying with yal again in the future. The Hyatt definitely did not disappoint!!

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.
