Hilton Garden Inn Columbia/Harbison
The room was clean and the staff was nice. The only disappointment is that I reserved my room a week prior and I had to wait 20 minutes to check in.

Sleep Inn Columbia
The property was well cleaned. The rooms were clean. Located close to the highway and many local restaurants. Suggestions: Increase more variety to the continental breakfast. Maybe bacon and eggs? Fresh fruit? Otherwise, breakfast was well stocked.
