"I loved this hotel. I have stayed multiple times. Location is great, staff is friendly, room was very clean and quiet. Will definitely come back whenever I am in town for work.

Hampton Inn Columbia-Downtown Historic District

"My 17 year old daughter and I stayed here when we were in town to tour U of SC. It was very conveniently located to the university and we walked everywhere we needed to go.
