I would have to say this hotel is just average/fair for a Marriott property. The location was excellent for my business meetings. There was nothing in particular wrong with the room, although it was on the small side compared with other Courtyards I've stayed at in the past few years. I did not hav a lot of interaction with the... More

This Courtyard in downtown Columbia might have the best staff of any hotel I've ever stayed in. We experienced trouble with our air conditioning unit, and someone from maintenance was in our room in under 2 minutes. In less than 5 minutes he determined the A/C might take more than a few minutes to repair. He asked if we'd rather... More

Spring break. Time to head South. Time for a road race. These three reasons led us to Columbia, SC, on March 9, 2013 for the Columbia Marathon/Half Marathon/5K Run-Walk. We registered in January, rather late for a road race. We prefer to stay in race headquarters hotels: in this case, it was the Downtown Marriott. I was surprised to get... More

This hotel is a great place to stay if in Columbia....wishing to stay downtown. The shuttle is wonderful, staff at desk very helpful, great breakfast too. I must say, the ten dollar garage parking fee is outrageous. Internet is free.

I've stayed here 3 times. It's nice and clean. Staff is friendly. Great location. It's pretty much everything I need in a hotel. If you stay on the street side it is a little noisy.
