Top Lake Carolina Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Columbia/Harbison

8/10 Good

"The breakfast was good Only one elevator worked our entire stay. Room was supposed to be cleaned every other day, which it wasn’t. When I got into the room there was barely any toilet paper. I had to ask for a roll. A few days later they came to clean my room and still left the other toilet roll dispenser empty. I had to again request toilet paper. I travel frequently, that was the first time I had to request toilet paper."

"N/A"

Comfort Suites Columbia Northeast - Fort Jackson

"Clean rooms, very kind employees. We had 2 rooms and both rooms were clean. The hotel is a little tired but maintained. We would recommend this hotel to families as it has a pool."

Hawthorn Extended Stay By Wyndham Columbia / Ft. Jackson

8/10 Good

"Iyanna was amazing front desk staff! Lounge staff was accommodating to our needs. Our room needed cosmetic work and a shelf in the bathroom would have been nice. Breakfast wasn’t useful for us going to military ceremonies so opening that even 30mins sooner would help. Overall it wasn’t terrible, but could use some upkeep"
