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.

We ate dinner onsite and the bartender/wait staff was amazing. Although she was super busy she was attentive and quick to take care of needs. The food was also delicious!

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.
