"My stay was wonderful! Very clean rooms! My only issue was being placed by the ice maker...it got loud. I am sure they would have moved me, but that wasn't so much of an issue. Very warm staff!!"

Best Western Plus Lexington Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Have stayed here before and will continue to do so. Staff is pleasant and helpful and amenities and property are great."

Hyatt Place Columbia/Harbison

8/10 Good

"The rooms are large in size with a nice couch. The remote did not work for the tv but the front desk brought us another one that worked. The desk area did not have any plugs to be able to plug in your computer or whatever use at the desk. The breakfast was a nice warm breakfast with great coffee. Overall was a nice hotel for our one night stay for the price we paid."

"Room was clean pool was great. Breakfast was good"

stayAPT Suites Columbia-Irmo Harbison

10/10 Excellent

"StayApt is one of the best extended stays in which I've stayed this year. There is ample parking, new amenities, and close enough to a multitude of restaurants and shopping. Kathleen and Morgan have been especially helpful. The rooms are larger than average and the layout makes it feel like an apartment instead of a hotel room."
