Top Lake Murray Hotel Reviews

Comfort Suites Columbia at Harbison

10/10 Excellent

"Clean Room"

Quality Inn & Suites Columbia Harbison

8/10 Good

"Visited my son for Family weekend at USC and didn’t want to pay the outrageous hotel prices near campus so I found this hotel. Pleasantly surprised as the rooms were spacious, clean, with nice size bathroom and shower. Very comfortable bed with extra pillows. Staff couldn’t have been friendlier and even let us check in a bit early. Location was good about 15-20 minutes from campus and lots of dinning options in the area. Only minor complaint is it would be nice to include shower gel along with the shampoo and conditioner dispensers. Would stay here again."

Best Western Plus Lexington Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean hotel. Staff very friendly. Hot breakfast and coffee in the morning."

"."

stayAPT Suites Columbia-Irmo Harbison

10/10 Excellent

"StayApt is one of the best extended stays in which I've stayed this year. There is ample parking, new amenities, and close enough to a multitude of restaurants and shopping. Kathleen and Morgan have been especially helpful. The rooms are larger than average and the layout makes it feel like an apartment instead of a hotel room."
