Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Breakfast was good, the front desk were very helpful and the Assistant General Manager was very nice. I would definitely return to the Doubletree Columbia Hotel.
The room (one bedroom) was very spacious. The hotel staff was exceptionally helpful and supportive, particularly the bar service and the carryout food service.
We stay here for all of our trips to visit family and are never disappointed with the service, cleanliness or the quality. The prices are also reasonable. We’ll keep coming back to the Double Tree in Columbia
The staff was wonderful, the lobby is nice, and it is nice to have a restaurant on site. My room was big and clean; the bed was comfortable. However, it's age is starting to show. The heater in the room was so loud and there were huge gaps in the door, so all the heat flowed out, and the heater kept kicking on. I would stay here again.
Exceptional stay from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond—-warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making every moment comfortable. Their professionalism and friendliness made the experience feel effortless. The location couldn’t be better: close to everything, easy to navigate, and perfect for exploring the area. I couldn’t have asked for a better combination of service and convenience. Highly recommended.

All the staff we interacted with were wonderful, including at the front desk and at breakfast! The room was okay (generally could use a refresher) but the fans were rattling loudly enough to make it difficult to fall asleep. We were disappointed the hot tub was out of service, and the pool area was so cold (as if windows were left open) we just couldn’t get into the pool itself.
The staff were all friendly. The hotel was clean. Breakfast was not free as the question states in the survey. And coffee was $3.00 if you just wanted coffee and didn't buy breakfast. For what a room costs I would think they would have complimentary coffee. But we will probably stay here again as it is very convenient to my daughter's house and overall we like it.
Great customer service, clean room. No microwave in room. I found breakfast to be expensive $20… ookish, not anything to talk about. At times there was too much noise for me… inconsiderate neighbors.
Some furniture needs to be replaced, by the bar the was a cloth couch that had some horrible stains.
Lovely hotel. Clean. Check in was smooth and friendly. Room was nice, good size. Would definitely stay here again. Dinner in the restaurant was only so-so, but the breakfast buffet was great
