Top Columbia Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbia SE / Fort Jackson

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbia SE / Fort Jackson

8/10 Good

"Corridors were uninspired and did not set a tone for a warm, welcoming room. The room was pretty basic. Nothing special, but nothing to complain about either. Comfortable bed and cool air. The bathroom was a bit small and the sink was in the outer room. Probably the best thing about this hotel was the breakfast area. It was spacious with nice, comfortable seating. Breakfast included the standard waffles, yogurt, scrambled eggs, sausage patties, biscuits and gravy. I even snagged a feta/spinach frittata! Overall good, but I've become accustomed to better."
