Top The Big Apple Hotel Reviews

Tru By Hilton Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Just overall excellent! Thank you!"

The Lantern Hotel Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"Love this hotel! The staff were incredible; love the mission of the hotel! Great hotel bar with good food options. Great location. Couldn’t have picked a better spot!"

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"

Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, clean rooms, friendly staff."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Columbia Downtown

8/10 Good

"The staff was super helpful and friendly. The room was fine, comfortable and well stocked. The breakfast area was kept clean and the selection was appreciated. They struggled with keeping the coffee full and many people were waiting quite awhile for it to be restocked. I also was turned off by paying for parking when they had their own private lot. Seemed like a way to just make a few more dollars instead of including it as amenity."

Graduate by Hilton Columbia SC

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are so nice!!!"

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

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice room. Front desk was awesome."
