I stayed with a small group in 5 rooms while in Columbia for a class for 2 nights. Upon arriving, the boy at the desk was very helpful and friendly. Lobby seemed clean and so did the pool area. This is an older hotel so don't expect all the bells and whistles especially for the price. The parking garage was... more

This was the second worst places i have ever stayed. I didn't feel safe there. The door had to be slammed and body pushed against it to get it shut. and when someone came to the door.. they would have to push while i pulled. Room 404.. DO NOT STAY in. The shower drainage is BAD. Parking is awful, the... more

I have been in law enforcement for over 26 years and worked narcotics a large percentage of that time. This hotel was the nastiest I have ever been in. We checked in and checked out within 10 minutes. The bed was beyond description. The bed skirt was covered with stains and debris. I could go on. The smell of the... more

Stayed here for a USC football game, and have been several times before in years past. It is not a "destination" hotel, it works for a place to come in and out of when you go somewhere in Columbia. The basement parking works fine, it is tricky and yes you have to be careful for about 10 seconds. The basement... more

I booked this hotel back in March for a Men's Conference located at the Colonial Center in downtown Columbia. I stayed there August 3rd and the hotel was sold out. I knew this might possibility be a dump, but wanted something cheap and within walking distance to the Center (it was about 5 blocks away). I guess I get what... more

I came to town to vist my parents and decided to stay downtown. When we got to the hotel they told us to park in a garage. We parked in the garage under the hotel. The next morning I woke up to my trunk wouldn't close and my window was busted in. I went to talk to the manger but... more

Please accept our truest apologies once more and please give us...

I can't say that the hotel is without any redeeming qualities, but there needs to be some major improvements made. The mattress was UNBEARABLE. I say that, in all caps, because I have never in my life had a worse nights sleep. I couldn't figure it out. It was an "all girl" trip for a friends wedding, so we slept... more

This place, as stated above, is outdated and in dire need of updating. I stayed for the Carolina Cup '06 the friday before and the night of the race. Served it's purpose, place to sleep, shower and get ready. Agree that the parking basement is at best sketchy and dangerous. Also the door that is supposedly only opened with a... more

This was a last minute booking for a conference and was nearby. The website was appealing and inviting. However, the hotel left a lot to be desired. The parking in the basement was frightful. Incoming and outgoing cars all used the same ramp with only hidden mirrors to avoid head on collisons. The elevator was also outdated and extremely slow.... more
