Top Downtown Columbia Hotel Reviews

Tru By Hilton Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great check-in experience with Tiffany and check out with Lillie (both super friendly and helpful). Room was immaculate. Would highly recommend."

Hyatt Place Columbia/Downtown/The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"We were very impressed with the room. The place was super clean. The breakfast was wonderful, with many different options. The only downside was the parking lot wasn’t very big, but they had a public parking lot just a block away so it wasn’t too bad. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Columbia."
