Courtyard by Marriott Columbia Downtown at USC

8/10 Good

"Good staff"

Chesnut Cottage Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was our family's first Bed and Breakfast experience and we were highly impressed. Both Ken and Christal were the best hosts and practiced great customer service and practice wonderful culinary skills. The inn is perfectly located and the property is beautifully maintained. I would love to return."

Tru By Hilton Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"One of the cleanest hotels I have been too. $12 parking per night is a great rate especially compared to surrounding areas. The bathroom and floors were super clean and well maintained. Comfy beds, reasonable rates. We loved the pool table, bar & grill food and the breakfast was yummy. Waffle station, pancakes, breakfast tacos, muffins, grits, protein, eggs, etc…front desks offers card games and board games as well. Only a few blocks from USC basketball camp and next to a McDonald’s. The only thing missing was a POOL!"

Hyatt Place Columbia/Downtown/The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean room! The Valet and housekeeper were soo helpful. The housekeeper made up the fold out bed for my little one, then she brought us a bag of ice and she brought us pool towels. She was sooo kind. The room was so clean and the hotel was in the perfect spot in the downtown. Breakfast was good. I liked the potatoes best!!! Great stay"
