Top University Hill Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbia NE/Fort Jackson

10/10 Excellent

"cooperative staff a pleasant vibe."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Columbia, SC

8/10 Good

"An older property that needs modernization. Room was large with a sitting room separate from the bedroom. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was OK, but the waffle machine wasn’t working and the yogurt and dairy products weren’t refrigerated. The ice machine on our floor wasn’t working."

Springhill Suites by Marriott Columbia near Fort Jackson

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean, the room was spacious. The beds were a little too firm for me with chronic pain issues but fine for one night. The mini fridge didn't get very cold even though turned up all the way. The ice bucket leaked by nature of design as the ice melted, no liner was provided so I washed it in the sink before use. Didn't eat the breakfast so I can't comment on that. The area didn't look nice but the hotel was nice"

Quality Inn Columbia Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We were very pleased after reading so many bad reviews. The hotel was clean, wonderful staff, great breakfast that had cereal, waffles, eggs, sausage gravy, fruit, pastries and breads. Our room had a nice smell when we opened the door and the air was on so nice and cool. Now if you are fussy well then you should not be shopping in this price point. Chipped paint, cracks here or there or a little dust in high corners do not bother us. All we care about is what we and other people will be touching us cleanand this certainly was. In fact the hotel exceeded our expectations and will stay again."
