Top Founders Park Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are new, lobby and breakfast area are large, clean and well appointed. AC was a little noisy at night in room 403, but shower and hot water are great. Well located, near restaurants, main street and close to the U of SC (not walking distance).Highly recommend this Fairfield property."

Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"The greatest second option ever. My family had our 80th* Family Reunion and I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it due to job commitments. Fortunately I was able to make it; however, the hotel I was supposed to stay at was booked. Frustrated I began looking around the area and I came across the Cambria. I looked at Cambria based off the pictures from the website, only to look better in person. From the time we walked in the front staff was great. The young lady at the front named Kayla was wonderful. There was another young lady helping someone else and she was just as pleasant, based off what I could hear. I went to my room to put my things away and the room was just what I needed. Stocked coffee bar, oversized shower, a real couch, true blackout curtains, and I could set the temperature as cool as I wanted in that hot SC weather. I went back to the host hotel that the family was staying at bragging about all the amenities I had. They had a snack bar and pop machines, while I had a fully stocked bar and restaurant. Long story short, several of my family members ended up having drinks with me at the bar. I would chose the Cambria 10 times out 10. My only negative was the unexpected valet charge which really wasn’t that bad. I would chose the Cambria in any city, anytime. Everything was Alright, and by alright I mean ALL Right. I will be back."
