Top Arsenal Hill Hotel Reviews

Hotel Trundle

10/10 Excellent

"Really fun atmosphere! Appreciated the complimentary welcome drink. Great location"

Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown The Vista

8/10 Good

"The hotel is well located in downtown Columbia, SC. It is clean, well maintained and the staff is very personable and helpful. The only issue I had was the hot water in the bathroom sink took 5 minutes to get hot. Thankfully the shower did not take that long. Everything else about the hotel was excellent and I would definitely recommend it to others."
