Homewood Suites By Hilton Columbia Downtown

5/5 Excellent

"Loved this hotel! Everyone was friendly and it was really clean. It’s close to campus if you have a USC student. Only thing we had a problem with was breakfast. Eggs and potatoes were cold right in beginning. But there were great other options that we didn’t try and a McDonald’s right next door as well. Those things can be fixed so we are definitely coming back and hoping to use this hotel for the next 4 years while our student is there."
