Located in beautiful downtown Columbia, SC, it was very convenient to walk several places. However staff needs to know something about public transit. No one could help us and one staff member didn’t even know the name of the public bus service. Also some of the bathroom toiletries had gone rancid and needed replacing. But overall, very satisfied.

The parking deck elevator was broken. The front desk wanted to act like they cared but gave us no help. They charged us 19.95 for a parking pass then it did not work. The room was the size of a closet. Do not stay in 610.
