Graduate by Hilton Columbia SC

10/10 Excellent

"We are returning customers, having stayed at The Graduate Columbia many times. Love the property and friendly helpful staff."

Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown The Vista

"The hotel is well located in downtown Columbia, SC. It is clean, well maintained and the staff is very personable and helpful. The only issue I had was the hot water in the bathroom sink took 5 minutes to get hot. Thankfully the shower did not take that long. Everything else about the hotel was excellent and I would definitely recommend it to others."
