Book with caution! Parking a nightmare, room had multiple issues including bad wiring where all the outlets shut off when the light switches were off, so nothing but the tv worked when lights were off. Phone was broken, AC never got below 76... manager came up at 9:30 to check thermostat and said she would come back and didn't so we went to bed. Nice property and staff, but waaay too many issues to warrant the expense of this hotel.

Overall hotel was nice our room didn’t look like it had been throughly cleaned more so looked as if someone just straightened up the bedding was very wrinkly as if someone had been laying on it, there was so many balls of hair on floor the toilet was not clean at all, and also maybe give options on shower pressure because having just that one setting for the shower sucks because it’s such a strong pressure doesn’t make showering enjoyable other than that great staff beautiful property!

Clean hip hotel in the middle of downtown Columbia, SC. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were spacious, clean, and modern. NO CARPET! The bar is nice and they have a patio. No rooftop or pool but it’s a nice rooftop hotel 5 minutes away (walkable). And there are several food options within walking distance.
