Top The Big Apple Hotel Reviews

Graduate by Hilton Columbia SC

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel in the heart of USC."

The Lantern Hotel Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are spacious and clean. Coffee and tea stations throughout. Great on site bar and restaurant"

Moxy Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great friendly staff, good atmosphere"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Columbia Downtown - The Vista by IHG

8/10 Good

"Bed and pillows comfortable. Air conditioning is a bit finicky and doesn’t get as cold. Other than that, no complaints."

Hotel Trundle

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was absolutely beautiful from the lobby to the room! Staff was so friendly & fun!"

Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous, updated hotel. Very walkable and close to a Publix. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Room was super clean and spacious."

Hilton Columbia Center

10/10 Excellent

"One of the nicest little pool areas downtown. Hidden gem. Great hotel."

Aloft by Marriott Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience. Will definitely start again."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Columbia Downtown/The Vista

8/10 Good

"Pool could use a refresh. Hotel was clean and staff friendly. Biggest complaint is the way the room is set up and the total lack of hooks/towel rack to hang towels. The frosted glass on both the bathroom and shower doors face the beds. Because it is frosted glass versus a wood door, if you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night or get up earlier than the rest of your party, the light shines right into the eyes of those who are still sleeping. Whoever designed this layout/material use should never be hired again. Also, how does a room that sleeps 6 (2 queens and a double pull out sofa) only have one hook to hang your towels in the bathroom? Really doesn’t give people an option to reused towels if they can’t hang them to dry after use. Again poor planning"
