My stay at Hyatt Place Columbia was a mixed bag. The friendly staff really made me feel welcome, and the breakfast was a highlight with a great variety of tasty options. However, the parking situation was a drag, as there wasn't enough space, and the air conditioning in my room blew right on me, making it uncomfortable at night. In the end, it's a decent place, but it could use a bit of work.

I had a great experience overall at the Hyatt Place Columbia. The location was fantastic, right in downtown and close to plenty of restaurants. However, there were a few minor issues, like some noise from maintenance in the hallway, and a couple of cleanliness oversights upon my arrival. Still, I appreciate the friendly staff and the comfort of my room.
