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.

Property is nice . A nice hotel. Not great just nice. The hotel rooms are spacious and clean for the most part. We were put in the second floor. The bathroom shower was gross and there was one of those drain flies hovering. The shower floor felt unclean so I showered with my flip flops on. Only there for an overnight so not worth the trouble to complain. But those rooms should be inspected routinely by housekeeping. It was expected I guess for 3 star hotel but the it’s deceiving bc the rest of the place is 4 star. And the drain in the sink didn’t work. Don’t ppl check these things when they clean??

A Wonderful Place to Stay in Downtown Columbia

I enjoyed everything about the hotel. Front desk service, especially from Anna, was accommodating and friendly. The location in downtown Columbia, near many restaurants and bars, was excellent. Though breakfast was not included in the rate, it was very good.

While it was very clean and the staff was nice, it is not quiet. The people above us sounded like a herd of elephants and from kids to adults it was very loud at midnight and again by 6 am. There are no “quiet hours” for anyone. Would only stay here again on the top floor.
