Top Columbia Museum of Art Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Columbia Downtown at USC

8/10 Good

"The location of this property is wonderful!"

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."

Hotel Trundle

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel! Clean, easy to get to, parking right next to the building. The lobby is adorable and the beds are soooo comfy!"

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."

Moxy Columbia Downtown

8/10 Good

"Clean, surprisingly quiet and great location, but room was small for 2 people and not well-appointed for game weekend price. No clothing storage. There were hooks on the wall, but no hangers. Bathroom was fine; nice shower."

Graduate by Hilton Columbia SC

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are so nice!!!"
