Top Lake Murray Hotel Reviews

StudioRes by Marriott Columbia Harbison

10/10 Excellent

"Sabrina is amazing. We call when the GPS didn’t quite get us to the hotel. She was patient and pleasant. She stayed on the phone to make sure we were able to get there. She was even more pleasant and helpful once we arrived. She renewed my hope that GREAT customer service still exists."

Hilton Garden Inn Columbia/Harbison

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed this hotel location. It’s in a perfect spot in the city. The staff were all friendly and helpful. My room was clean and everything I expected. I didn’t try the breakfast or the bar but I liked that the location also had a small store/air market."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Columbia-I-26 @ Harbison Blvd by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Travelled for business. Great place to stay. Breakfast is always good at holiday inn express"

Residence Inn by Marriott Columbia Northwest/Harbison

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, we will defiantly stay here again. Check in person was super friendly and helpful."

Quality Inn & Suites Columbia Harbison

8/10 Good

"Visited my son for Family weekend at USC and didn’t want to pay the outrageous hotel prices near campus so I found this hotel. Pleasantly surprised as the rooms were spacious, clean, with nice size bathroom and shower. Very comfortable bed with extra pillows. Staff couldn’t have been friendlier and even let us check in a bit early. Location was good about 15-20 minutes from campus and lots of dinning options in the area. Only minor complaint is it would be nice to include shower gel along with the shampoo and conditioner dispensers. Would stay here again."

Best Western Plus Lexington Inn

stayAPT Suites Columbia-Irmo Harbison

10/10 Excellent

"StayApt is one of the best extended stays in which I've stayed this year. There is ample parking, new amenities, and close enough to a multitude of restaurants and shopping. Kathleen and Morgan have been especially helpful. The rooms are larger than average and the layout makes it feel like an apartment instead of a hotel room."
