Top Founders Park Hotel Reviews

Graduate by Hilton Columbia SC

10/10 Excellent

"This property is very cozy and has a lot of character. The bathroom could have been cleaner."

Homewood Suites By Hilton Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very sweet staff And the hotel was very pleasant to visit"

Marriott Columbia

8/10 Good

"My room was not clean when I arrived. There were crumbs on the floor between the bed and the window. Additionally, the base on the floor lamp was coated in dust. When my room was cleaned on Day 2, the cleaning didn't make sense. The toilet seat was up indicating the toilet had been cleaned. However, the towels had not been removed, the bed was not made, and the garbage had not been made."

Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"Room and facilities was clean"

Hampton Inn Columbia-Downtown Historic District

"The perfect location, could walk to most of the places I wanted to visit. Great restaurants nearby. The room was very nice, but I don’t think I’ll be getting a street view again because of the noise in the mornings. It was overall a very pleasant stay."

Sheraton Columbia Downtown Hotel
