Home Walking Distance to Downtown Square in Diverse Neighborhood
Perfect house for my husband and I and our two kids. Super spacious. Our kids each got their own room. Honestly nothing bad to say, and walking distance to downtown. Would definitely stay again when we are in Columbia.

Best Western Spring Hill Inn & Suites
The hotel is clean, staff pleasant, bed was comfortable. However it’s time for some updating! The shower is a bath/shower inserted into the wall. It’s curved, deep, and slippery. Bathroom tile has some grout missing… it’s old.

Holiday Inn Express Columbia by IHG
The room was in disrepair. Mold on shower, missing trim pieces, AC unit VERY noisy and difficult to sleep due to noise. There were notes that they were working on remodeling but probably need to not use the oldest rooms if possible. Staff was excellent.
