Top Founders Park Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Columbia-Downtown Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a great location with lots of restaurants and clubs around for exploration, the room was clean, comfortable and well stocked and the staff was amazing. The parking lot was full and the front desk staff took the time to help us find a spot. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. If traveling through this area again, I will definitely stay here again."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Columbia Downtown - The Vista by IHG

8/10 Good

"Overall the staff were very welcoming. The place was clean overall. They could just clean up the webs on the window seals. The continental breakfast pretty good both days. They could’ve just made sure the food was warmer and full. But overall it was good."
