10/10 Excellent

"Staff was helpful and courteous."

Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"We had a pleasant stay at the Cambria. It’s really well located, easily walkable to a bunch of great restaurants and is in a safe neighborhood. Check-in was easy. The room was very clean.We use the valet and that experience was pretty effortless. If I could make one constructive suggestion, perhaps consider slightly better toiletry products (shampoo, conditioner) but that’s a small thing."
