Top Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Hilton Columbia Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Columbia Downtown/The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"Miss Shirley handles the breakfast area! She is the best. Always smiling and very helpful. A true asset to this Hotel!"

Tru By Hilton Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were clean, comfortable, and conveniently located."

Holiday Inn Columbia - Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great hotel. I like that I can walk to Soda City on Saturday morning"

Hotel Trundle

8/10 Good

"Excellent hotel! Beautiful darling suite!! *significant to note that this is a historical building. Wood floors are ORIGINAL, so they creek and squeak. Part of the charm, but if youre easily bothered…"

Sheraton Columbia Downtown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is lovely. It is an old bank, refurbished into a hotel. It has lots of gray, calm-toned, and wood decoration. Overlooks downtown Columbia on Main and Washington streets. The rooms are compact. The bed is comfortable, and the bathroom has hot water. Coffee maker and mini-fridge in room. No microwave. This is my second review and this hotel needs to provide microwaves! Starbucks on the lower level and bar on upper level. If food and entertainment are important, check out food and entertainment in the area before booking. Lots of free and paid entertainment. Think Soda City on Saturdays, Columbia Museum of Art, State Museum, Children's museum, Richland County Public Library, First Thursdays on Main, Finlay Park on the weekends, ... Well-stocked workout gym with towels, water, mats, television, treadmills, etc,...It needs yoga blocks, a Pilates ball, and Pilates wheel. Bring your exercise program on your cellphone or device. Front desk employees are extra friendly and helpful. I booked during an extra busy weekend-Latin Festival. Valet parking was an additional $32 plus tips. It was quick. However, cheaper parking options were available in downtown garages if willing to walk. Picking up the vehicle from valet parking took at least 45 minutes. It took a lon-n-n-n-n-g time, but valet seemed busy. The supervisor was extra helpful. I would book again. Eat out or order in if you want hot dinner food. If you like to exercise, walk downtown or workout in hotel gym."

Graduate by Hilton Columbia SC
