Holiday Inn Express & Suites Columbia Downtown - The Vista by IHG

8/10 Good

"Bed and pillows comfortable. Air conditioning is a bit finicky and doesn’t get as cold. Other than that, no complaints."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Columbia Downtown

8/10 Good

"The staff was super helpful and friendly. The room was fine, comfortable and well stocked. The breakfast area was kept clean and the selection was appreciated. They struggled with keeping the coffee full and many people were waiting quite awhile for it to be restocked. I also was turned off by paying for parking when they had their own private lot. Seemed like a way to just make a few more dollars instead of including it as amenity."
