Top Riverbanks Zoo and Garden Hotel Reviews

Tru By Hilton Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property and great staff. Near the venue where I attended an event. Near great food. The breakfast was good."

Tru By Hilton Columbia Greystone

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at Tru by Hilton for the first leg of our road trip and had an amazing experience. The hotel was clean, modern, and very comfortable, and the staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. After a long day of driving, it was the perfect place to relax and recharge. The room was spotless, the bed was comfortable, and everything felt fresh and well maintained. We also appreciated the convenient location and easy parking. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Tru by Hilton to other travelers!"

Moxy Columbia Downtown

6/10 Okay

"The property was very nice, the rooftop bar was a nice vibe, you recieve two free drink tokens at checkin to use at the bar. The room was nice as well. My only issue was at checkin; when I entered the hotel I wasn’t greeted by any of the staff. I wasn’t aware that checkin was near the bar so I proceeded to a near by desk that I assumed was checkin since no one greeted me at the bar. The desk was unmanned so I stood by waiting for someone to return and that never happened. The lady who was at the bar area when I entered stared in my face the entire time and never said a word. Then finally I walked over to her and asked about checkin and she said she could check me in there. At this point I’ve been in the hotel for a full 20 minutes. She and two other staff were just having casual conversation. Then once she finally checked me in another staff member had to escort me to my room to let me in because they couldn’t print room keys for whatever reason and I was told someone would bring a key up to me momentarily."

Marriott Columbia

4/10 Poor

"when we were told that we had to pay for basic internet or had to be a convoy member, that really surprised us. on top of that, the exhaust fan in the bathroom was not working. with this being the summer time and it being humid, the bathroom was always damp after a shower. there was also a homeless person sitting by the pool access door when we came back to the hotel. this made us feel a little unsafe."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Columbia Downtown/The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"The property was right across the street from Publix in a nice, clean, quiet and safe area with a McDonald’s near by. Also, the entire staff were absolutely great — the hotel is well worth the money especially for a weekend with family and friends with an in house full bar, continental breakfast and service desk snack center."
