Wyndham Garden Columbia/Ft. Jackson

10/10 Excellent

"There was no shower gel in the bathroom. No wash towels the next day, it seemed like whoever was cleaning the room was in a hurry and just dropped a pile of towels on the bathroom counter. The door doesn't close u Other than that, it was a good stay!"

Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this hotel. I have stayed multiple times. Location is great, staff is friendly, room was very clean and quiet. Will definitely come back whenever I am in town for work. I love that there is a restaurant and bar in the lobby so if I am too busy to go out I can grab a quick bite or drink to take to the room."
