Top University Hill Hotel Reviews

Sleep Inn Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"Great property with wonderful staff. Rooms are very clean and it's conveniently located with eating options nearby. Ice machine doesn't work that great and breakfast is very lackluster but the room and staff make up for what's lacking. Recommend this property."

Tru By Hilton Columbia Greystone

10/10 Excellent

"I was completely happy with my stay. The staff was friendly, the hotel and rooms were clean, my bed was comfortable, the hallways smelled good, and breakfast was so good. Oh, and it's not far from downtown but with free parking. The wall across from the elevator had information about several local places to visit which I thought was really cool. I didn't get a chance to use the pool table on this visit, but I am looking forward to it in the future. My only one qualm: I was going to walk down the stairwell but when I opened the door everything was dark and that was all it took to get a nope out of me. I look forward to booking here again."

The Lantern Hotel Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were cozy. There was free coffee, tea and water in the hall. The hotel was very efficient and the food in the restaurant was delicious - I still think about the hot chili oil avocado toast and the blood orange cocktail with tajine. Loved staying there. We thought it was worth a little splurge."
