La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbia SE / Fort Jackson

10/10 Excellent

"Yes "

Hilton Garden Inn Columbia/Harbison

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was wonderful! It was a long day of travel, and we checked in late, but the staff was so kind and accommodating, the facility was fresh and inviting and the rooms were extremely comfy with generous space and amenities. Would absolutely recommend (we will be back later this week even, on our return trip). "

Hyatt Place Columbia/Downtown/The Vista

4/10 Poor

"Room was ok. Not all of the staff were friendly. While I understand the limitations of parking in that area, guests are required to pay an additional amount to park in a garage across of the street seemed excessive. Surely Hyatt could absorb this cost for guest. "
