Top South Carolina State Museum Hotel Reviews

Graduate by Hilton Columbia SC

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room, cute hotel with fantastic location to USC."

Aloft by Marriott Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a great location, and the service was really good. Very walkable, plenty of things to do in the area. The only challenge we experienced was that they charge for parking, and the code QR code they provided didn't work for entry or exit, so we had to pay separately. What's interesting is the fee the hotel charges is $20 and the parking garage only charges $15. A bit odd that they charge more than the lot rate, but they refunded our fee since we had to pay directly. All in all, would definitely visit again!"
