Holiday Inn Columbia - Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was easy, no fuss, at the Holiday Inn. Good location. Good staff (kudos to Molly)! Only negative: the cuty-run psrking garage."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Columbia Downtown/The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"What a great stay. The staff was so accommodating and had no issues with two of us spending 3 nights with Marriott, having guests join us, and sharing a charcuterie board for a late afternoon / dinner on Saturday. Such a great lication."

Hotel Trundle

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel, the outside does not do the hotel justice. It was beautifully decorated and the lobby has tons of games and sitting areas to look out the windows and relax. Continental breakfast was included and was very good. The only knock we had was that we requested "maid" service but they never came. The hotel itself was excellent and I would definitely recommend.
