Tru By Hilton Columbia Downtown

8/10 Good

"Everything was great and clean, the staff was very polite and nice. Would stay again"

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."
