This place was a gem. Location, price, southern hospitality, easy parking and modest but useful breakfast and evening drinks options on the lobby fIoor. Indoor pool looked great too. I generally choose Hyatt Place properties and found this one up to their usual high standards. This is a high-quality 3-star hotel that I would definitely stay at again and recommend to others.

The mattress was squeaky when you sat on it. Loud street noise until after 11pm. Staff was very responsive and pleasant. Decor is very nice. Room set-up was so comfortable. Lots of good details.

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.

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.
