Columbia, as the state capital of South Carolina, is small compared to say Atlanta, State capital of Georgia. So it is quite walkable and this hotel is suitably placed within 10 minutes of the Capitol building, the shops and restaurants. A bit dated but very friendly and welcoming. Suitable for shorter stays, 1-2 nights, as there's not a great amount... More

Suitably placed in Columbia, this hotel offers good service and friendly staff. Many choices locally to eat and within walking distance. Rooms are a little tired but OK for one night. Beds comfy. Only saw one cockroach and it was soon dealt with.

The Clarion Hotel in downtown Columbia, SC is a well maintained, fully staffed, and centrally located for the traveler who enjoys the historic part of town. Yet, it is only a few miles from the interstate and more recent shopping areas as well as USC. Our suite had a comfortable king sized bed, nice sofa, table and chairs and best... More

We booked 4 rooms for family for USC graduation for 3 nights. Rooms and facilities were good, clean, and price fair. A little dated but that was easily made up for by the staff. Staff went out of their way to make sure our stay was great. Had breakfast, dinner and Mom's day dinner - all food was EXCELLENT. We'd... More

Bed was very soft, very bad for my sciatica, so if you have back issues, seek a firmer mattress. All the fixtures were outdated by about 20 years, but seemed to work ok - phone,... More

We stayed here while seeing a couple of shows at Township Auditorium and the location was fantastic. Overall our stay was fine without any real issues. Had a great nights sleep so the beds were good. Front desk staff was helpful and answered all our questions. Location was also great if you were looking to be close to campus too.... More

The Good- Location is about the only thing I could say was good; and that's being generous. The bed was comfortable. The Bad- Severely outdated. My room hadn't been vacuumed in quite some time, in fact, there was a large clump of hair under the desk. The TV, which was an old fashioned tube, had static on every channel. The... More

We stayed here for three nights under a group rate arranged for an academic conference that was being held at the University of South Carolina, which probably explains the room we were in. Briefly, the hotel has a new, modern tower, with new, modern rooms, and a long, serpentine set of two-story wings behind the tower which were probably constructed... More
