Top Columbia Museum of Art Hotel Reviews

Tru By Hilton Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Clean hotel with a great breakfast buffet."

Moxy Columbia Downtown

8/10 Good

"Very nice, good energy good vibes. Very clean hotel, my only thing is the rooms are tiny!!"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Columbia Downtown - The Vista by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice room. Front desk was awesome."

The Lantern Hotel Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"A very unique property that is super clean with a helpful staff and amazing amenities."

Hyatt Place Columbia/Downtown/The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was excellent, room was very comfortable and buffet breakfast very good! Coffee was strong and plentiful, thank you!"

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!"

Hilton Garden Inn Columbia Downtown, SC

10/10 Excellent

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

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."
