3 Best Hotels in Columbia, SC

I had a great stay at the Sheraton Downtown Columbia! The hotel has a nice blend of charm and modern comfort. I especially appreciated the nod to its history with the old vault martini bar—such a cool touch that adds personality to the place. The rooftop bar was a highlight with beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for unwinding in the evening. Also, the 24-hour gym was a big plus for me—clean, well-equipped, and convenient for keeping up with my workout routine no matter the time. Overall, a well-rounded experience with thoughtful amenities and a great location.

Stayed at the Sheraton Downtown Columbia and really enjoyed the experience. The rooftop bar was definitely a highlight—great atmosphere, good drinks, and an awesome view of the city. I also liked the old martini bar downstairs; it gives the hotel a unique, nostalgic vibe you don’t see often. The 24-hour gym was a major plus too. It was well-maintained and made it easy to keep up with my fitness routine no matter what time I got in. Overall, a comfortable stay with some standout features. I’d stay here again for sure.

Spent the weekend at this hotel and it was just what I needed. The energy of the place is peaceful, like a soft reset for your soul. From the moment I walked in, the front desk staff made me feel right at home. So friendly, so easy to talk to, and really helpful. I wish I could remember his name, maybe Louis Amazing guy.

Stayed here for two nights with our softball team for a tournament. Kiuanna with the sales team was very helpful to secure a last minute room block. This hotel is very clean and staff are friendly. Location is central to interstate and many parts of Columbia. The outdoor pool, the gym, and the covered outdoor seating area are top notch offering better amenities than similar hotels at this price point. Also appreciated the gluten free options at breakfast and the walking trail around the adjacent pond. Nice hotel.

The cleanest hotel I’ve stayed at in a long while. My room was clean and had no nasty smell!!! I was able to walk in the room with no shoes on as normally I would not because the carpets look icky!! Way better than Hampton Inn in Willingboro NJ in terms of cleanliness. The lady that checked me was so friendly and professional. Worth the money. Thank you.

One of the best Hamptons we have been to recently. Our room was super clean and well appointed with plenty of towels and toiletries. Breakfast area was clean and had lots of options. The common areas were clean and staff was super friendly. Great stay.
