Hilton Garden Inn Columbia/Harbison

10/10 Excellent

"Well, i was stuck in the elevator, but it was okay! They cgave free tampons and pads when my gf had period so amazing!"

Courtyard by Marriott Columbia Downtown at USC

4/10 Poor

"The entire staff was amazing with the exception of one man behind the counter (and I think he was tge manager). He seemed to have a chip on his shoulder because I booked through "a third party" and was canceling one night of our 2 night reservation. I didn't realize how hilly the area was which was quite difficult getting around with a wheelchair. I've been charged for both nights and now need to fight that."

The Lantern Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding hotel! Super nice staff, wonderful sleek design and lots of amenities (gym 24/7, water and coffee machines, mini fridge, restaurant and bar). Such a pleasant stay, we couldn't wish for anything better! We are travelling with a toddler and they had a nice place in the back to offload a car and you can then either do valet ($30) or do street parking (free 7pm-9am). Also walking distance to so many bars and restaurants!"
