Tru by Hilton Harbison Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, nice hotel, currently undergoing renovations, so a little bit noisy and parking was a little tight as a result. The Housekeeping closet was open across from our room, and we noticed more pillows in there, but didn’t have pillowcases. Asked the Front Desk for more pillows, and they said they didn’t have any. Once we let them know that there was a housekeeping closet with tons of pillows in it across from our room, they did allow us to have the 2 extra pillows that we asked for."
