Top Lake Murray Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Columbia/Harbison

10/10 Excellent

"1st time at this hotel location. Clean property, indoor pool área felt like a sauna, friendly staff, breakfast set up was nice. Accessible to retail and highway. I would stay again. I would Add for housekeeping to please keep talking down next to rooms with Do Not Disturb. Had a long drive and i think house keeping staff at hotels lately are getting too comfortable and not using etiquete. Other than that it met my expectations."

Amazing lake house on Lake Murray, Columbia w/ private dock, outdoor kitchen.

10/10 Excellent

"To begin with, communication with the owners was great. They respond quickly and kept us informed with everything going on with the property. Overall the house was very clean and relaxing. Instructions were provided which were very helpful for all electronics. We appreciate it being pet free as we have family members allergic to pet dander and there were no issues! The view and dock access to the lake was the selling point for this property. The neighborhood was quiet making it very relaxing. The owners let us know ahead of time about septic replacement work that was done and some dirt that was still in the yard (which is completely understandable), but that did not hinder any activities or views for this property. The location was also convenient to stores making it easy to get groceries or any item you may need. I highly recommend this property to any family or group who are looking for a nice relaxing getaway."

Near Dam-Lake Front Estate w/ Large Dock, Private Ramp, and Beautiful Sunsets

10/10 Excellent

"A perfect place for family fun. We brought our kayaks and lots of floaties and played in the lake all day. Loved the tranquility of being tucked into a beautiful cove and the sunsets were beautiful! A little bit of a walk back and forth to the lake but it was very nice to have privacy and such a big yard."

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Columbia Lexington

8/10 Good

"Our hotel room was nice, and the beds were very comfortable, but I was a bit disappointed with the water pressure in the shower. The breakfast was terrible, as there was almost nothing left to eat. We ended up eating at the IHOP right down the street. Our stay was fine otherwise, but they really need to look into changing the shower heads and making sure there is enough food put out for guests. To be clear, we went to breakfast an hour and a half before breakfast ended."
