Change bathroom door for more privacy. Sliding glass door is strange. Why not just hang a bedsheet if you’re trying to cut costs? Put microwave in rooms. We had to carry our food down to the lobby and use the communal microwave. Pretty sad. Provide better towels in bathroom. Present towels are ones like you find at a gym, if that. More attention to 24-7 coffee tea service. Overall, just a poor effort compared to years past. Will probably skip this place on next visit to Columbia.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
This felt more like I was staying at a Days Inn instead of a Hyatt. The front staff was mediocre at best but one young lady needs to take training so she knows that guests should ALWAYS come first, even when on the phone with your GM. The valet stops at 11 pm but is not advertised that way nor did staff communicate that until I pulled up after 11pm, only to be told I would need to park my own car. The lot was full so we had to find parking on the street. Do yourself a favor and pick a different hotel.
