Top Downtown Columbia Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Columbia Downtown, SC

8/10 Good

"The pool was closed every day."

Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown The Vista

8/10 Good

"This is a great hotel. It's close to the Capitol so not overly convenient to USC but very close. I was there with my son for orientation. The rooms. are exceptionally clean and I like that they don't have carpeted rooms. Feels a millions times more fresh. The rooms have very basic decor (not luxury) but that's okay. It was well equiped and comfortable. Overall, a nice stay. Staff was great."

Tru By Hilton Columbia Downtown
