Top Forest Lake Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbia NE/Fort Jackson

10/10 Excellent

"cooperative staff a pleasant vibe."

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbia SE / Fort Jackson

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient to the hey on way from Ontario to Florida, beds were comfortable and breakfast was good as well . Easy check out"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Columbia, SC

8/10 Good

"An older property that needs modernization. Room was large with a sitting room separate from the bedroom. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was OK, but the waffle machine wasn’t working and the yogurt and dairy products weren’t refrigerated. The ice machine on our floor wasn’t working."

Springhill Suites by Marriott Columbia near Fort Jackson

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean, the room was spacious. The beds were a little too firm for me with chronic pain issues but fine for one night. The mini fridge didn't get very cold even though turned up all the way. The ice bucket leaked by nature of design as the ice melted, no liner was provided so I washed it in the sink before use. Didn't eat the breakfast so I can't comment on that. The area didn't look nice but the hotel was nice"

Hawthorn Extended Stay By Wyndham Columbia / Ft. Jackson

10/10 Excellent

"The back parking lots could use some spiffing up by the two suites we had were clean, spacious and we'll attended by staff."
