Hyatt Place Columbia/Downtown/The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very friendly and the hotel was very nice."

Hilton Garden Inn Columbia Downtown, SC

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. I have no complaints."

The Lantern Hotel Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"If 10 stars were available, I would gladly select. This unique property is in a great location, well maintained and overall a fantastic find. The staff welcomed us and seemed genuinely happy to assist. The location was close to Gervais which had amazing options for shopping and dining. Our room was immaculate, the bedding and bed itself were very comfortable and the décor was inviting. It was a very pleasant surprise to have a coffee/water station on each floor. I would definitely recommend The Lantern Hotel to anyone who is traveling to the area. You will not be disappointed."

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

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

Holiday Inn Columbia - Downtown by IHG

"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."
