Top The Big Apple Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Columbia/Downtown/The Vista

8/10 Good

"Was a great experience"

Tru By Hilton Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was beyond my expectations. I was very impressed by the staff and my clean room. The breakfast went beyond most continental hotel breakfasts. The only complaint I had was the noise from outside the hotel but they are in a very busy part of the town and it did not keep me from falling asleep. I would definitely stay there again when I am in the area."

Sheraton Columbia Downtown Hotel
