Top Founders Park Hotel Reviews

Homewood Suites By Hilton Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing and helpful. Hotel is clean. Will stay again."

Hotel Trundle

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel in a convenient location with parking on site for $18 a night. Staff was friendly, welcoming and helpful and the room was spotlessly clean. Only downsides were not enough places to put stuff in the bathroom and the water pressure was poor. The room was pretty dark too. The good bits definitely outweighed any downsides and I'd happily stay there again."

Hilton Columbia Center

"Great"
