10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. The facility met my needs for a single night."

Hilton Garden Inn Columbia/Harbison

Hilton Garden Inn Columbia/Harbison

8/10 Good

"Good hotel, it’s just…. the little things as a traveler, you have to pull the door handle UP just like every other door in the world. One of the elevators is down so everyone is waiting in the lobby and we all wait minutes as the number goes up then down then finally arrives in the lobby. Really small things that didn’t affect my stay in any way… but they add up to a 4 star review not a 5. The staff were awesome though so that balances it out in my opinion."

"The owner told me the hotel was newly renovated a few years ago, and you can tell. The shower was nice and everything was clean. The exercise room was the nicest I have ever seen at any hotel of this class. Breakfast included eggs and sausage and hash browns and they had a waffle maker. It was about as good as I would expect for this price point."
