Top Hotels in Columbia with Spas

My family and I have been staying at the Hilton Columbia Center multiple times per year over the last ten years plus. The location is excellent for events at USC and plenty of good dining choices in walking distance. On a previous stay we had an unfortunate experience with a front desk employee that was quickly made right by management which was very much appreciated. Our last stay on September 10th the hotel and surrounding businesses were very busy with a active weekend of events in Columbia. Two areas of the Hilton that very much impressed during our stay. The front desk representative Eric was very helpful, customer focused and a first class representative of this Hilton hotel. Secondly the valet service appeared to be short staffed when we checked in, however they were and always have been one of the best at handling cars and being focused on service. In summary a very good hotel and those Hilton employees and services we came in contact did not disappoint.

The first challenge here was access. The hotel fronts on Gervais Street, but you have to access the parking lot from Lincoln Street. They have gated parking, but you can press a button to be buzzed in when you first arrive. After that, your room key can be used to access the lot. The sign said that guest parking was $14 per day. Check in was fairly quick. We got a room on the 4th floor (of 5). They had multiple luggage carts of at least 2 different types (I saw at least 4 total), which I pay somewhat more attention to now after staying in a larger place that only had 1... The hotel seemed quiet. Rooms toward the back would probably help in this regard. The location is on a main street in town, about 2 - 3 blocks from the state capitol building complex. It is a short walk (5 minutes or less) to a large number of restaurants or bars in the area. If you are here on a weekend, the Soda City Market is located on (mostly closed for just pedestiran use) Main Street starting about 5 blocks away. Breakfast was included with the stay. It started at 6 a.m. on the Saturday we were there for it. I'd say it was about average for what hotels are providing now, post-Covid. I had enough to eat, anyway. Our room was fine; we only had one bath towel for some reason, but we didn't notice until it wasn't convenient to request a 2nd one. The bed was comfortable. I've stayed in 3 different hotels now in / near Columbia. For staying in the walkable radius of downtown, this is a good option.

The property has improved since the last time I stayed here. Room was clean and all amenities were as described. This property has started serving breakfast too for those who booked rooms with meals. I was concerned about the bugs like what had happened during my stay before; however, the only time I saw a bug crawling on the wall was on my last night here. All in all, an improved property.

My daughter and I visited UofSC for a college tour on a very busy weekend in COLA, so accommodations were very limited. I hesitantly booked the Sheraton after reading several poor reviews and rude responses from management. After some research and confirmation on site, I learned that this hotel has a new, and very well liked General Manager as of Dec. 2022. It showed, and I highly recommend a stay at the “new and improved” Sheraton Columbia. The staff was excellent, friendly and helpful (Hannah went above and beyond), charmingly old rooms were fresh and very clean, our request for a quiet room (14th floor) was met without hesitation, the location was perfect for walking all over the city and to campus (Uber for longer distance). It would be nice to upgrade offerings in Club Lounge (decent food, wine/beer), but disregard former reviews and give this hotel a fresh start!

The king studio suite was spacious, with a small kitchen if you are traveling with family. We were on 4th floor (there are 5), facing the busy roadway, and could hear some noise, even though in my reservation I requested the parking lot side, away from the highway; none were available upon our arrival around 2 PM. I rhink it would have been really loud to be much lower - the hotel itself is atop a steep hill, and that helps. From the looks of the cars in the parking lot, it appeared to be sold out on a Monday. There was a security guard on duty in the lot, which we liked. The evening reception was very nice, with beer and wine, and a Mexican food buffet. That and the also good breakfast choices, made the stay a good value. As my title notes, it was very convenient to the places we visited - even walking distance to Riverfront Park. But that steep hill back up to the hotel would be a challenge - and there is plenty of parking weekdays at the Park.
