Top Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Columbia-Downtown Historic District

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a great location and the rooms are quiet. The front desk staff was not friendly at all and moved very quickly. We have stayed here previously, but this visit the lobby had an odd smoke odor. The free breakfast offered good variety and was tasty. The breakfast hostesses were so sweet and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. More parking would be a nice option because the lot was full when we returned at night and we had to park elsewhere even though we had paid for hotel parking."

The Lantern Hotel Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"Great find in the heart of Columbia!"

Hotel Trundle

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience. I was expecting a different breakfast experience, but it worked out with having a fridge. Everything else was too notch!"

Moxy Columbia Downtown

Hyatt Place Columbia/Downtown/The Vista

8/10 Good

"Stay here from time to time when visiting my USC student. Convenient location, on site parking, love having a drink downstairs at the bar and breakfast is good. Rooms are nice and clean. Outside traffic noise can be loud, but it’s the city. We always travel with a fan to drown out noise."
