Top Downtown Columbia Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Columbia/Downtown/The Vista

6/10 Okay

"The room really wasn’t cleaned at all and it was disappointing that the pool wasn’t open when that is one of the main reasons we chose to stay here. But other than that, everything was good. Unfortunately it seems like no hotel has truly clean rooms anymore. But not changing sheets and thoroughly cleaning bathroom is unsanitary and unacceptable."

The Lantern Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"This was such a "hidden" (recently-opened) gem! My husband and I stayed over a long weekend for our anniversary and were happily surprised by the luxurious feel of the hotel, including our room, the downstairs restaurant Ladder 13, and the kind and eager-to-help staff. The historic location is also a very cool aspect of staying here (including garage doors that open to connect the lobby to the city) and the mission behind the owner's story made this our favorite place we have ever stayed. We would highly recommend!"
