Oh my gosh...where to begin. This hotel was a recommended site for a conference held in Columbia, SC April 13-14, 2007 and our reservations were booked six months in advance. My roommate and I arrived at approximately 2:40 for a 3 p.m. checkin. Upon arrival, we noticed that the hotel was under construction...there was a laminated sign denoting "Registration" with... more

I travel a lot, both for my job and pleasure trips. The net result, is I don't expect much. As long as the room is clean, I'm reasonably happy. I didn't look at any reviews for this property before booking my travel plans. This was a big mistake. Since there was so much stuff bad, I'll cover as quickly as... more

My family spent the weekend of the 9th of September in this hotel for my son's graduation from bootcamp. Every single staff person with whom we came in contact was completely professional, showed concern for our needs, however small, and treated us like our comfort was their primary concern. Absolutely excellent. more

This hotel looked good on the internet but it was by far the worst hotel I have ever been at. The room stunk of stale smoke, the walls were very thin, we heard everything from the next room. It is not worth the price we paid for it. more

This room had a terrible odor of stale smoke like a bar smells after a long night of spilled beer on carpet. I was taken to the third room where... more

My client had arranged for me to facilitate my Excel class at this hotel and although I did not stay on the property, I must say that the meeting room facilities were great. Customer Service - Chandler R. and Jeffery in Banquets were both friendly and professional staff members. When my projector blew up, they arranged for an outside company... more

August 4 - 6 - Columbia: Columbia Plaza Hotel - Improvement Needed in Sleeping Area This hotel was booked for a family reunion. Everything except the rooms was above average. The staff, especially the banquet staff and personnel went far beyond the call of duty to assist and to provide service to the family members. We were very impressed with... more

When I first read the some of the reviews, I figured we were going to a dump - nothing could be further from the truth! I noticed that some of the rooms could use new shears behind their curtains and the bottom of the pool needed some attention, but that was about it. The hotel was clean (which I am... more

This place (like so many old Ramadas that have been sold out of the chain to independent owner/operators) has seen better days. I don't think the mattresses have been replaced since the early 1980's, the carpet is worn, etc. Just run-down and in need of a major re-do in the worst way. We attended a meeting there and the bathrooms... more
