Top Columbia Hotel Reviews

Hotel Trundle

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very hospitable and the hotel was located downtown close to local attractions."

Quality Inn & Suites Columbia Harbison

8/10 Good

"I love the hotel, smells good, clean, and the room is perfect but two concerns I will provide. 1. The drainer in the shower is clogged. 2. Toilet seat is so close to the bathroom vanity that if a person is overweight, the guest will not able to maneuver. The space between the toilet and bath tub has enough that it could have been moved farther.. Toilet paper holder is touching you. Other than that, everything was good. I would book my hotel with Quality Inn again for places I go, if they offer the same things like Harbison location. Thank you"
