Hilton Honors Lives Up to Its Name

This was my second stay at this location, and it was just as enjoyable as my first stay. Only small issues I had were a light was out in the bathroom and the room was advertised as having a microwave, but it did not have one. There was space for one, but it definitely was missing it. Everything else was perfect - Location was great and close to everything, clean hotel, attractive bright lobby and hallways. Staff were super friendly, which is always a huge plus, especially coming from out of town and the last thing you want to encounter is a rude person at a front desk. Everyone was very pleasant. Free coffee in the lobby was great as well. My junior suite was clean, very spacious and a sure stay for me each time I'm back in Columbia SC. The missing microwave and light out was definitely not a deal breaker for me and only mentions so someone can look into them. Thanks for another great stay and looking forward to the next time. Hilton always gets it right!

Reservations

I was unable to cancel my reservation at the hotel. My meeting was canceled. Therefore I didn’t need hotel reservations. I called and cancelled 2 days before I was scheduled to arrive.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This was the worst hotel I have stayed in since my car broke down on at midnight on a mountain road in a major blizzard in West Virginia (in 1987!). The front desk folks were too busy talking to each other to even make eye contact with us. The property itself is a bit past needing a refresh, especially the “suite” we got. Housekeeping never showed up. The ladies at the restaurant (Ruth’s Chris) offered to seat us at the bar for dinner, not because the restaurant was full but rather because they were short of staff that evening. Really, I haven’t left a bad review anywhere, but I can’t just let you make the same mistake without at least warning you.
