Great for walking with little ones. Everything worth seeing is soooo close. My daughter and I truly enjoyed it and still are enjoying ourselves.

Nice place in the vista. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was good enough. I'll definitely stay there again in the future.

We had an amazing stay! Parking was convenient with an offsite garage nearby, and check-in was a breeze. Having a Starbucks next door was a plus, and we even enjoyed a lovely farmers market on Saturday. The location was perfect—everything was within walking distance. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff and service were outstanding. We really appreciated how attentive and friendly everyone was, making our stay even more enjoyable. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit. Highly recommend! P.S. We especially enjoyed the nearby attractions and restaurants.

Shower hard to operate. No regular coffee in room, $200 deposit paid for incidentals at check in… today I have a bill charge taken out of $119.25, instead of the credit of $200 back . I had already paid the reservation in full to Trip.com before check in. Front desk staff was very rude during entire stay. Most problematic even still was that I did NOT have wifi connection during the entire stay! Had to use my cellular data in the room all during the night … front desk never resolved nor seemed concerned about not having wifi access , nor did they offer a solution or compensation. We sat out front of the hotel for over 3 hours trying to come up with the $200 credit card to “authorize” for incidentals. Not the best experience for my birthday or ever! Calling hotel now about the non return of my $200 and double paying for the room that we only in from 10:30 pm- 12:15 next day!

We had a large group staying for an event at the State House steps and I can not praise the staff and Shelly enough! The rooms were clean, staff attentive and Shelly went out of her way to make sure our stay was perfect. Our group raved about the comfortable beds and cleanliness of the establishment. I would definitely recommend Staybridge Suites for your stay in Columbia.

I stayed here for one night while playing at an Oktoberfest off site. It was bascially pretty good. The room was modern and nice. There is a lot of noise fromt he street but it was Saturday night. The parking is in their garage and is free. You are just given a slip of paper to put on your dash. Check in and out were basically good. I did try to check out and got someone else's bill by accident. This was corrected though. The breakfast was not a good experience as I had to buy a dried oatmeal canister to put in my microwave. The coffee was good as it was Starbucks. All in all, if you are staying on campus, this is a good choice.

I don't like leaving negative reviews because I understand things happen. Especially when I must say Embassy Suites has been our go to hotel. Unfortunately, we are going to have to switch to a different brand. It is understandable that hotel cannot stay “brand new” however routine maintenance of the rooms should be a minimum. The past few times we have stay it has been the same thing, the rooms have been run down. If it is not a newer hotel, the Embassy brand does not seem to do just a basic job of maintenance. Our most recent stay, the room was subpar at best. The bathtub was peeling, the furniture had so may stains on them my wife pulled the sheet of the bed just to sit on it, the wall paper had ripples in it, not bubbles but ripples. To top it off, we got bit by only what we can say were beg bugs. If it was for the poor maintenance, I would chalk the beg bugs up to what happens in the hotel industry, they are bound to happen even at the most expensive of hotels however, this hotel was so poorly maintained, it is more likely they have take not measure to control this. We have noticed this trend with older Embassy Suites Hotels, usually located in predominately minority populated areas. Really sad. The staff was nice and friendly but they can’t make up for the poor room. If we would have checked in earlier, we would have demanded a refund and went somewhere else.

We stayed at the Hotel Trundle in April on a trip to Congaree National Park and the State House. The Hotel Trundle was FABULOUS! I didn't want to leave at the end of our 3 night stay! I never say this about a hotel. Everything was so well done and thought out to make the stay welcoming and comfortable. We were greeted at check in with a glass of wine or local beer. Every morning we had breakfast delivered to our room. We were able to pick from 6 different items prepared by the Sandwich Depot across the street. We worked our way through all 6 options during our stay, and all of them were excellent! The pork chop breakfast sandwich was a real stand out! The room was very comfortable. This is a boutique hotel with cool decor and art and quirkiness. Just fabulous. There are great restaurants in walking distance, and the State House was just a few blocks away as well. Congaree NP was a mere 35 minute drive away. I highly recommend staying here!
