I love the location of this hotel to the U of SC campus. Super convenient! However, I wish there was a pool. And I did have trouble with the outlets. Out of three outlets in the room itself (not including the bathroom) only the bottom plug worked on each. A little difficult to charge devices when only three plugs were working. But this would not deter me from setting again.

Nice hotel in the middle of campus. Beds were comfortable. We did find chips on the floor in the room, so it doesn’t look like the room was vacuumed well but other than that, no issues.

Great stay!

This was first visit to Columbia for my daughter's music camp. And this hotel was a great choice for us. It is right next to USC (the camp venue), walking distance to the downtown area, and safe to take a walk even after dinner. My wife and I enjoyed the walking around the campus during our stays. We will definitely come back to this hotel for our next visit to Columbia.
