Top Dreher Shoals Dam Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Columbia-I-26 @ Harbison Blvd by IHG

8/10 Good

"I have stayed here on and off for a couple of years and I am seeing things that are broken and not being fixed like electrical outlets in the rooms and one of the elevators has been down for at least 6 months that I'm aware of. The property is starting to get to the point that little things are broken all the time. Still a good place to stay for now."

StudioRes by Marriott Columbia Harbison

10/10 Excellent

"My visit was to stay over after a concert, and the evening staff was outstanding. My check in was good and they made small talk while checking me in and very friendly."

Romantic bungalow on Lake Murray w/cold plunge/hot tub/sauna, gym & dock gazebo

10/10 Excellent

"My boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights for a wedding close-by and despite the weather not being great it didn’t affect our time at all, and we still had an incredible, romantic, and relaxing l experience. The place was tidy, clean, welcoming and accommodating. It was exactly the relaxing weekend that we needed. The lake view, screened in porch, sauna, hot tub, cold plunge, gym, and steam showers made our experience top tier. Would definitely recommend staying here- especially for couples! Would 100 % stay again! 5 stars hands down. The host, Kent, was also very accommodating and responsive- and answered any questions we had. BOOK THIS PlACE! You will not regret it."
