Top South Carolina State House Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Columbia Downtown at USC

8/10 Good

"The main areas such as the lobby were updated and super clean. The hallways going off the elevator on the guest room floors were clean, but could use a bit of updating (new carpeting) as could the guest rooms themselves. They were clean, but the carpeting made it seem a bit dingy. I am NOT a fan of carpet in rental spaces. The shower had good pressure and hot water almost immediately. Be aware that parking is $10/day and the garage has a height limit of 72". We saw a 2 door Jeep that had to turn around. We didn't fit either. They did have some parking for the folks who didn't fit, but it didn't seem like there was a ton of spaces. Not sure what happens when they are all full. They have a shuttle to drive you anywhere within a 3 mile radius and offer a hot breakfast $. Our room had a great view of the dome with floor to ceiling windows. We had a fridge, microwave and coffee maker (single). It's a NO PET hotel, so that was a plus. The area is very busy during the day as it's located on campus. Walking distance to the Colonial Life Arena, which is why we chose it. The staff was great, all being friendly and personable. 9/10 Bartender was great!!!! She went over the top to be engaging. I didn't catch her name, but she had long braids."

Hotel Trundle

10/10 Excellent

"What a hidden jewel in downtown Columbia, SC. The location is fantastic for a walking tour of restaurants and other points of interest. Hotel Trundle is a delight from check in to check out. The staff are welcoming, informative, cheerful, and downright fun. The rooms are glorious. Spacious, clean, and quiet. The lobby is a delightful area of eye catching artwork, collectables, and nooks for reading or conversation. In an area where parking can be a nightmare, Hotel Trundle has their own space where guests can easily park and access their vehicles. Walk, explore or just while away the afternoon people watching in the hotel's curbside table and chairs. You'll be glad you chose Hotel Trundle. We certainly were!"

Tru By Hilton Columbia Downtown

Hilton Garden Inn Columbia Downtown, SC

Home2 Suites by Hilton Columbia Downtown

8/10 Good

"Was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. We were only there a few days for college drop off but the room was clean and filled with amenities."

Marriott Columbia

8/10 Good

"My room was not clean when I arrived. There were crumbs on the floor between the bed and the window. Additionally, the base on the floor lamp was coated in dust. When my room was cleaned on Day 2, the cleaning didn't make sense. The toilet seat was up indicating the toilet had been cleaned. However, the towels had not been removed, the bed was not made, and the garbage had not been made."

Hampton Inn Columbia-Downtown Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"Great Hotel right in the middle of a fun area. Perfect place to stay!!!!!"

Holiday Inn Columbia - Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The perfect location, could walk to most of the places I wanted to visit. Great restaurants nearby. The room was very nice, but I don’t think I’ll be getting a street view again because of the noise in the mornings. It was overall a very pleasant stay."
