Top Colonial Life Arena Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Columbia/Downtown/The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the ease of getting there - the on-site parking - the buffet breakfast and the amazing location. Room was clean. Would love a nite-light in the bathroom - room was totally dark with lights off and bathroom across the room from the bed and door to bath was glass so light shines thru during the night. Aside from that, just loved everything the hotel and staff had to offer - would totally stay there again."
