Hotels near Congaree National Park

"Everyone was very nice and helpful, from the front desk, to the housekeeping and bartenders. We were there for our son’s graduation, and they had lots of nice extras to help parents and students on this big occasion. Great place! We will miss visiting there."

"This place is so tired, run down and smells so bad. The ceiling over the shower was coming apart, the tub had mildew around the bottom. Plus, I think they turn the hot water off at night, could only get cool water at the bathroom faucet after 10 pm. Amenities were pretty non existent, shampoo and hand cream only. There was a small microwave and fridge in the space. I did not see any plastic cups in the room, thank goodness we carry our own. The heat/air unit was not very responsive. I don't think I have ever stayed in a worse hotel/motel. There was train track behind the motel. Parking out front was very limited, bigger lot behind, small driveways to access the place. We were in Columbia for USC graduation. Every hotel/motel in the city was booked. Room rates everywhere else were sky high $400 to $500 per night. We didn't expect breakfast in bed, but I would camp out in my car before staying here again. I will say, however, the mattress was comfortable, the one and only bright spot of the whole experience. Oh, and the location was convenient to campus events. Otherwise, this place was a dump."

"Did not use any of the amenities or eat breakfast there but everything about the place was nice and I would stay there again"

"Place is great and fun/funky. Love it. Restaurant connected to it is excellent as well. Highly recommend especially if you are a parent fir a USC student... right on campus"

"Convenient location just off Interstate 77 and a short drive to downtown Columbia."

"The attendant was very helpful. There was a dirty towel in the bathroom. After leaving our fitted sheet was taken off the bed and there were roaches in bathroom and table. The window was open near the door and cigarette holes were on the blanket on our bed. Also a cigarette burn on the bathroom tub. We had a non smoking room."

"When we first checked in and went up to our room, the toilet didn’t work. So we went back down to the front desk and the lady working the desk had an attitude about giving us a different room and said no apology. Our new room had smudges on the mirror, fingerprints on the shower curtain and the whole place did not look like it was throughly cleaned. The next day our room keys stopped working so we went down to the front desk to get them replaced and the guy working the desk just said “they’re fixed” with no apology."

"The staff is super friendly and helpful, especially Walisha. The location is near the interstate, several restaurants and shops. The pleasant smell of cleanliness hit as soon as you enter the hotel, and the rooms did not disappoint either. The room was spacious, very clean and plenty of towels were provided. Breakfast was good. Pork and turkey sausage options were available. Parking was plentiful. I definitely recommend this hotel. "

"Bathroom smelled like cigarettes carpet seemed filthy. Had to by disinfectant and Lysol and other cleaning supplies "
