Can say enough!

As usual ..my reception, stay, and departure are so blissful at the Hyatt. The staff takes so pride in they're performance and it shows. My family and I have been vacationing here for years now. There is a reason. The at home feel and relaxation as well as the privacy is exceptional. Thank you Hyatt Team 1 Columbia, SC.

Find somewhere else.

Horrible! We were told our room was ready by email. We showed up, they gave us a room key when we walked in someone else was in the room. We had to wait 20 mins for them to clean another room, which they rushed and was dirty. We have three small children with us, that were ready for naps. The pool was indoor which we thought would be nice, but there was other tournaments and cheer competitions in town and the cheer girls were completely out of control with no adult supervision ages 10-14, the hotel staff was not able to locate parents as there were many complaints from other guest besides us in hotel. There was water all over the lobby floor with no slip signs from the kids unsupervised running around wet from pool. The hallways were loud, we checked in at 2:30p and check out at 8:30p we had, had enough. We were already booked to stay there again 3/28 weekend but canceled that stay. There are other hotels, aloft across the way and Hilton. We will not return to this Hyatt again, very disappointed in this one.
