Courtyard by Marriott Columbia Downtown at USC

10/10 Excellent

"Miss Aimee at the front desk is wonderful!! She makes you feel welcome and addresses any needs you have."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Columbia Downtown/The Vista

8/10 Good

"Well the stay overall was very pleasant. My main concern and its a small one but still impactful was the coffee was never hot no matter what time I got some. It was always a warm and I had to heat it in the microwave. The was the coffee that is always available in the lobby...not in the rooms. Other than that, the stay was very nice. Oh... I am always used to having waffles at a continental breakfast but we were told they only offer waffles on the weekend. I joked that this hotel was too grown for me if they didnt offer waffles at breakfast...lol. Again, great stay and I would definitely return."
