Graduate by Hilton Columbia SC

"This property is very cozy and has a lot of character. The bathroom could have been cleaner."

Homewood Suites By Hilton Columbia Downtown

"Very sweet staff And the hotel was very pleasant to visit"

Marriott Columbia

8/10 Good

"My room was not clean when I arrived. There were crumbs on the floor between the bed and the window. Additionally, the base on the floor lamp was coated in dust. When my room was cleaned on Day 2, the cleaning didn't make sense. The toilet seat was up indicating the toilet had been cleaned. However, the towels had not been removed, the bed was not made, and the garbage had not been made."
