Top South Carolina State House Hotel Reviews

Sheraton Columbia Downtown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is lovely. It is an old bank, refurbished into a hotel. It has lots of gray, calm-toned, and wood decoration. Overlooks downtown Columbia on Main and Washington streets. The rooms are compact. The bed is comfortable, and the bathroom has hot water. Coffee maker and mini-fridge in room. No microwave. This is my second review and this hotel needs to provide microwaves! Starbucks on the lower level and bar on upper level. If food and entertainment are important, check out food and entertainment in the area before booking. Lots of free and paid entertainment. Think Soda City on Saturdays, Columbia Museum of Art, State Museum, Children's museum, Richland County Public Library, First Thursdays on Main, Finlay Park on the weekends, ... Well-stocked workout gym with towels, water, mats, television, treadmills, etc,...It needs yoga blocks, a Pilates ball, and Pilates wheel. Bring your exercise program on your cellphone or device. Front desk employees are extra friendly and helpful. I booked during an extra busy weekend-Latin Festival. Valet parking was an additional $32 plus tips. It was quick. However, cheaper parking options were available in downtown garages if willing to walk. Picking up the vehicle from valet parking took at least 45 minutes. It took a lon-n-n-n-n-g time, but valet seemed busy. The supervisor was extra helpful. I would book again. Eat out or order in if you want hot dinner food. If you like to exercise, walk downtown or workout in hotel gym."

"I loved absolutely everything about my stay at this property. They made me feel welcomed from the moment I arrived! The food was delicious, the staff was warm and friendly starting with Christian at the front desk. My room was amazing, The bedding, those pillows and that shower has always been a staple to the Marriott Hotels. The pool was amazing, sitting at the bar sharing with others was so much fun after a day full of fun out on the town. The location was exactly where I needed to be. Great choice, great time, fabulous place!"
