Property needs some love. Doors didn’t lock, check in staff wasn’t rude but just not friendly at all. Shower had no door. It’s definitely a college hotel. Not the worst I’ve ever stayed in but.

The hotel was very clean and modern. My room was clean and good sized. Stayed in the back of the building and didn't hear the train at night. I read the reviews for the hotel so I was skeptical. Really friendly staff. Did not have breakfast so I can't vouch for that. Definitely could not walk to get a bite to eat, but there was a lot of options for delivery. Wasn't as industrial as I thought it would be. I mean it wasn't off the beaten path.

The staff were great! I had to sign an agreement that i wouldn't smoke in the room, but when we got to our room and opened the door we were overcome with cigarette smoke! It almost took our breath away! The hotel staff was super friendly and professional but the smoke was horrible and still smells on my things :(

They Maximized the Space

Pros: The front desk staff were extremely pleasant and friendly.
Cons: Replace the king-sized bed with a queen.
Location: Ideal spot to attend University of SC game. 20 minutes from airport. Eat at California Dreaming and any spot along Gervais St. Grubhub delivers
The Gallus is located near the U of SC's football stadium which explains its name. It offers the amenities most travelers seek when booking a room: free wifi; free breakfast; free parking. The staff is pleasant; there's lemon water and coffee available into the late hours in the lobby; and the facility is clean. The rooms are miniscule; however, the developers of this property used every trick in the book to make the absolute most use of the allotted space. I described it as a dorm room but it sufficed for my stay of several days. I would suggest that they replace the king-sized bed with a queen for more floor space but then you really only need the room to bathe and sleep, right? I enjoyed my stay.

The hotel itself isn't bad--it was nice inside, comfortable and quiet. My issues were that I wasn't expecting the hotel to be so small. Every time I entered and exited I felt self conscious, so that was a bit awkward. Also the hotel needs to significantly improve its security measures. One evening I was so exhausted and entered my room only to discover that it actually wasn't my room--I had accidentally entered the room next door. What was alarming was that I had gained entry using my room key. Fortunately the room was unoccupied, but I knew that if I had card access to the next room over, someone else probably had access to my room too. My other issue with this hotel (and I guess the staff have no control over this) was how geographically isolated it was from downtown, though close to other amenities such as the USC Stadium. I don't have a car so I had walk along a long winding road without sidewalks, plus lots of railroad tracks. If I were to visit Columbia again I'd choose another hotel if I had other options.

Convenient to USC room was small but clean, breakfast was eggs,sausage,toast, grits and yogurt. A fair amount of traffic and train noise earlier in evening but was able to sleep.

Good choice for those on a budget

Pros: Good bed, good value.
Cons: More lights at back section of rear parking lot.
Location: About 1 mile from downtown.
If you want to be close to downtown Columbia but don't want to spend a lot, this hotel is a good choice. The hotel is in an industrial area near the football stadium, Owens field airport and the Amtrack station. The exterior doesn't look like much but the interior is clean and updated. Staff was friendly and helpful. The train does run close to the hotel so if you're a light sleeper this might be a concern. In any case it's a good choice if you want to save a few dollars.
