Top Lake Murray Hotel Reviews

Woodspring Suites Columbia - Irmo

8/10 Good

"Everything was excellent. The staff was good. Everything was clean however I wish they had more mentalities like breakfast and free coffee and an ice machine things like that."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Lexington by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Worth the stay."

Comfort Suites Columbia at Harbison

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is very clean and cozy. I live the convenience of Walmart being right behind the hotel. James and Henry at the desk were very polite and helpful. My only concern, when I arrived it was stated: they were trying to charge my card before I arrived. (I KEEP MY CARDS LOCKED FIR THIS REASON) To charge me for a room, and I had not arrived to the location was diabolical. I arrived at 1:30pm and was not able to get into a room until 3pm. But this hotel wanted to charge my card before I arrived. I had NO understanding for that. Was my stay wonderful, YES. The breakfast bar is also great."
