Top South Carolina State House Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Columbia Downtown at USC

8/10 Good

"The location of this property is wonderful!"

Marriott Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great! Breakfast was delicious. Front desk staff was so nice and happy!"

Tru By Hilton Columbia Downtown

8/10 Good

"This hotel was very nice. It's new, and therefore, very clean and in great condition. We arrived on a Thursday and after a long travel day were delighted to find that they were having a happy hour with complimentary drinks and snacks. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful- especially Gigi. The only downside was that the bedding and towels felt a little cheap, and not very plush or comfortable. Otherwise, I have no complaints for a weekend stay."

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."

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!"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and staff. Would recommend"

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."
