Hotel Blu

10/10 Excellent

"The check in was a new experience for me, using a kiosk but it was easy. The hotel was very clean and the staff was very friendly."

Holiday Inn Columbia East by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I have zero complaints about this hotel. The gentleman that got us checked in was so nice, the entire place was clean and smelled nice, the room was spacious and comfortable. My husband and I stayed two nights, our second night we returned to the hotel and our room key wasn’t working but the young lady at the desk got it taken care of quickly and was so polite. We will definitely stay here when we’re back in Columbia!"

Hampton Inn Columbia

8/10 Good

"The staff was very friendly and helpful. My only concern was the bedsheets and pillowcases. They were wrinkled and made me wonder whether they had been replaced since someone else stayed there. Also, the signage could have been clearer about where the "front" of the building was. The most obvious entrance when driving to the hotel was actually in the back, and the door was locked. The main entrance was down a short hill and further away from the road."

Residence Inn by Marriott Columbia

10/10 Excellent
