Top The Big Apple Hotel Reviews

The Lantern Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was the best I have visited yet. From the rooms, to the service , and the amenities. Everyone was so welcoming , helpful and kind . I highly recommend the Lantern. Great job to their staff ALL so friendly and kind. "

Marriott Columbia

8/10 Good

"The property is very close to the university but wish they would offer discounts rather than jack the price up on stays when they know there will be a lot of parents on campus some of us are already spending quite a bit just to get to the location. Also if staying there the Hub is right next door and you can see someone’s entire living quarters from your window so recommend keeping shades drawn. Lots of restaurants surrounding building and they close off streets on Saturdays for a festival that looked pretty fun. But overall the hotel was kept in great condition and the staff we’re super hospitable!"

Moxy Columbia Downtown

6/10 Okay

"The room was so small, we barely had room to walk. The location is downtown, so it was noisy and they do not have a parking lot. You either have to pay for valet or pay for parking at the parking meters. Speaking of valet parking, we were charged twice for valet parking when we did not use it at all. Please review receipt to make sure there are no additional charges. Also, one of the staff was rude when we mentioned the valet charges. There was no microwave in the room. We booked the queen size room. The shower is nice and that is the only thing nice I can say about the room. Will we be returning in the future? No!! It was not for us and what we are used to when staying at a hotel. But try it for yourself. You may have a different experience. "

Hyatt Place Columbia/Downtown/The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"The address on goggle has the wrong street entrance, it’s confusing for people coming in out of town The staff was very nice and welcoming The lady that worked the kitchen on the morning of Tuesday the 31 of March was extremely pleasant and made breakfast a pleasure to eat, more hotels need a server like her who appears to love her job and the people she serves. Great customer service"
