Hilton Garden Inn Columbia/Harbison

10/10 Excellent

"After a long drive from south Florida, we had a nice small dinner and it was good"

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbia SE / Fort Jackson

10/10 Excellent

"King junior suite was perfect. Recently updated. Far better than what we were expecting. Looks like most of the hotel has been updated recently. Free Hotel breakfast but far better than average. Waffle maker. Biscuits and gravy. Fruit. Yogurt. Delicious muffins.Clean out door pool but we did not use. Would definitely stay again."

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbia NE/Fort Jackson

6/10 Okay

"This stay was as expected. Despite a recent renovation, their television is unable to cast to your phone to stream or have any WiFi connection. The room only had one dresser drawer and it was small. The tile was cracked on the bathroom floor and tub. Our sheets had small stains. There was a weird sound like a cricket when we slept and couldn’t figure out the source. The shower also made a weird noise equivalent to a cow bell. Mini fridge and microwave could have been cleaned better. They provide you with two small waste baskets but there should be another placed by the sink. Toilet paper dispenser placed at an awkward height."
