Hilton Garden Inn Columbia/Harbison
Room didn't have any USB ports . However rooms were in excellent condition. Loved the pillows. However the air-conditioner was very loud and made it difficult to sleep..

Sleep Inn Columbia
Overall stay was good. Front desk and staff were nice folks. Hotel is outdated but kept well. Breakfast is fair but appreciated given the affordability of the stay. The only thing that was dissapointed was the toilet not flushing well.. Otherwise, this hotel is decent.
