Unofficial USC Welcome Center

From the minute we walked in the door, Graduate by Hilton Columbia, SC made us feel welcome. Hotel staff, from the front desk clerk to the bartender to our breakfast server, were wonderful. Graduate is the ultimate place to stay when visiting the University of South Carolina!

The property was very convenient for visiting the university, but the room and amenities were limited for the high price. I wouldn't stay there again as there are many other fine hotels also nearby -- not great value.

They are doing construction at the property right now - figuring out how to get to an actual door and parking is a bit of a nightmare especially at night. If you are going in the next month or so. Look for a Gamecocks tent off of Henderson and there’s a person in the tent to direct you. The rooms are small. The bathroom is tiny. Just not the luxury, I was expecting from a Graduate brand hotel. They are beautifully decorated - very pleasing to the eye. Our room was noisy! The AC unit clanked all night long. The beds were very comfortable and clean.
