Downtown area is clean and hospitable. We live in the area and are used to the city. It's very small compared to say New York or Atlanta, but it has city charm without the whole ordeal of trying to get in and out of the city. I really like it.

The Saluda Riverwalk is beautiful. Be sure to travel the 30 minutes to Congaree National Park and if nothing else do the boardwalk trail. Mellow Mushroom Pizza has outstanding food and fun atmosphere!

Columbia has 2 Riverwalk/bike trails. Crowded because the scenery and location is good. Plenty of places to sit and relax. We ate at Zesto burgers and it was delicious.

Very clean, lively Saturday market on Main street... but why is everything closed on the weekend?

Small town vibe in a fair-sized capital city. USC and S.C. political infrastructure dominates the building and landscape. A slow paced charm.

"We got dirty pillow cases...lady at the front desk was not friendly at all when we were checking in... tried talking to her she had no sense of humor ... "
"One of the nicest places my daughter and I have found to stop for a night to break up a long trip. The front desk staff is so pleasant and they remembered us from our previous visit a month before.
The rooms are clean and even smell good! The beds are comfortable. The appliances work (refrigerator, microwave). The AC kept us cool on a hot July night. One small thing that could have been better in the room was the water pressure in the shower - when turned to the warm side, it diminished to a trickle.
Outside of the room, the facility is also well-maintained. There's a little shop right next to the front desk that sells food items (mostly snacks and drinks). A typical breakfast is available in the morning. I didn't use the gym, so I can't comment on that, but there was enough space in my room to do yoga. A suggestion for improvement outside of the rooms would be to align the elevators. The floor of the elevator wasn't quite level with the hallway floor, making it a little difficult to maneuver the luggage trolley.
Overall, an excellent place to stay for a very reasonable cost. We appreciated a nice place to rest after many hours on the road. "
"We liked this stay so much that we cancelled our reservations for a hotel in Charlotte and re-booked this hotel for our return trip home. Pool is great, the breakfast was good and varied, and the staff was excellent. Room was clean and we are planning to come back next summer."
