SpringHill Suites by Marriott Columbia Downtown/The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"Good breakfast, superior staff"

Tru By Hilton Columbia Greystone

6/10 Okay

"Starting with the good: staff was friendly, room was clean, the shower water pressure was awesome, one of the best Continental breakfast, the bed was comfortable. What we didn’t like was the room was small, air unit was from hotels built back in the 80’s, we had trouble getting a comfortable temperature, even tried to turn it off. When turning it off the fan continued to run. And did I mention it was loud. The furniture was like stuff you would find in a dorm room. The had this desk chair that was not sturdy. My husband was sitting in it when barely move and chair tipped over. Lastly the pillows were very flimsy."

Hilton Garden Inn Columbia/Harbison

4/10 Poor

"Our receptionist was friendly, but the room we booked was not what we received. We booked a room for four person capacity (3 actually staying in the room) Should have been a king bed and a pull out sofa. When we got to our room there was a king bed and a chair. We asked for a room with a sofa or a room with 2 beds. None available. They did bring us a small portable bed. The shower did not have a shower curtain so water ended up all over the floor. The lamp didn’t have a light switch. You had to either plug it in and unplug it OR screw the bulb in and out to turn the light on and off. We thought breakfast was included but is was $20 per person. Hilton is generally a hotel with a good reputation, that’s why we chose it. The property is clean, well maintained and staff was friendly."

Courtyard by Marriott Columbia Downtown at USC

6/10 Okay

"They have done a good job of updating the rooms although our bathroom was tiny and that was the only place I could find both a mirror and plugs. They need a mirror over the desk like area with plugs for hair tools. Do NOT drive a taller vehicle up to the check in area. 6 feet is the maximum height that will fit in the lower garage. We had to do a very tight turn around, check in and unload and then move our vehicle to the parking garage behind the hotel. There were hotel access doors on the upper level, two sets of manual doors which makes it very cumbersome for taking luggage in and out. There is a fridge in the room and a coffee maker that takes those teabag type coffee servings. Don’t waste your time, it was awful. VERY LIMITED hours to get coffee and/or food in the lobby area. I think it ends at 10AM. No complimentary coffee is available, or water. Ample place to place your luggage on “racks” inside the room. No personal safe in the room. Good place for a quick one night stay with plans to eat all meals out. Don’t bring valuables you will not keep in your possession at all times, such as a iPad or even controlled medications because of the lack of a safe. Staff was very polite, elevators were roomy and quick. We did not use the outside area or fitness center."
