Top Allen University Hotel Reviews

Hilton Columbia Center

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 4days and housekeeping didn’t come even once . Place is clean but the bathroom could use an upgrade. Pool seriously needs work. Staff tone a little harsh. Not sure of that was her personality. She was a bit rough."

Sheraton Columbia Downtown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is really cool hotel, right on Main Street, walkable to everything. Make sure you go to the rooftop lounge, really pretty view of the skyline."

Moxy Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff and lovely environment"

The Lantern Hotel Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"Really charming hotel. Newly renovated, beds comfortable, linens plush and clean. Gym was very nice - not large but had everything you'd need. The front desk staff was terrific, check-in was easy."

Hotel Trundle

10/10 Excellent

"Great place! Large rooms and great little details. Friendly staff. Great breakfast and nice location."

Holiday Inn Columbia - Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed the cleaned room and breakfast was on point. The people next door were very noisy we were woken up around 2:40 am."

Tru By Hilton Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is wonderful. Best breakfast at a hotel of this caliber. Love the self serve store downstairs. My only gripe is the parking. 60% of all parking spaces are labeled "compact" and suck even for a midsize car. I've stayed here more than once so it's not stopping me BUT definitely a consideration for the next time, especially since parking is $12 a day, outside, and uncovered."

Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable clean rooms. Delicious breakfast buffet. Beautiful decor and very friendly staff. Will definitely stay again."

Green House @ Township - Unit B | 3BR 3BA

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and beautiful rental. Communications was easy and I LOVE the app that they use for this property. Would definitely stay again."
