My husband and I came up to Columbia from Charleston for a night because we were seeing a show at the Koger Center and didn't want to drive home so late. This hotel is right across the street which was perfect. The AAA rate I got was better than the online rate so it was also a good deal, especially... More

I've stayed here 3 times. It's nice and clean. Staff is friendly. Great location. It's pretty much everything I need in a hotel. If you stay on the street side it is a little noisy. There's a train nearby. And you can hear the traffic. I'm not a light sleeper but light sleepers beware. Ask for a room that's not... More

We spent only one night at this hotel and thank goodness! It was the worst night in any hotel in our memory. Main problem: Hallway noise and unresponsive front desk/management. We asked for a quiet room at end of hall but got one in middle. We were so tired from driving that we took it. What a mistake! At 3pm,... More

This hotel is 2 blocks from the Colonial Life Arena. We stayed there the night of the Taylor Swift concert so we could walk our kids to the show and back without having to deal with the parking lot after. For that purpose, it was PERFECT! The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and met our needs perfectly. The bathroom seemed a... More

Really they can't do much about it I suppose, but the train noise takes a night or so to get accustomed to it. I was there for 3 nights and I slept through it the last night. It's in proximity to all of the little spots Round town and even better, they will shuttle you to all of them if... More

The Courtyard Marriott has a friendly and knowledgeable front desk staff. The room was very pretty. When reading through the usual night table flyers I saw printed that the sheets were changed every three days. I assumed that meant every three days for long stay hotel guests. Well, when I turned back the sheets I was confronted with someone's body... More

Pleasantly surprised by the Courtyard Columbia. Front desk staff was very friendly. We had a nice 2 queen bedroom for 4 adults while my dad was having heart surgery at Providence Hospital. Convenient downtown location, however there was often a train whistling late at night and early in the morning. I don't mind a bit of noise, but if you... More

The location to campus is nice and I have no complaints about the staff at all. However, the train noise was very consistent throughout the night. I'm a fairly light sleeper and it woke me up several times.
