Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this hotel. I have stayed multiple times. Location is great, staff is friendly, room was very clean and quiet. Will definitely come back whenever I am in town for work. I love that there is a restaurant and bar in the lobby so if I am too busy to go out I can grab a quick bite or drink to take to the room."

Hilton Columbia Center

"Hilton is a great location to downtown and the university. Hotel is clean even during some construction. My only issues were the lack of signage when exiting the elevator onto your floor. Also our check in person did not explain the self parking very well."

"The home was very clean and as described. It is conveniently located to stores, restaurants, and Fort Jackson Army Base. We were in town for my daughter’s combat training graduation at Fort Jackson base. The drive to the base was approximately 15 minutes. I would definitely recommend this home for a family or group that is in town for the purposes of attending a ceremony at Fort Jackson Army Base. This home and location will not disappoint. "
