Top Columbia Fire Museum Hotel Reviews

Marriott Columbia

10/10 Excellent

"10/10 - the hotel grounds were clean and everyone I encountered during my stay was more than pleasant & helpful!"

Hotel Trundle

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is unassuming from the outside, but when my husband and I walked inside, we were amazed at the beautiful gardenlike lobby. It was roomier than we thought. As soon as we walked inside, we were greeted by a friendly clerk. She quickly checked us in and gave us a room on the second floor. However, after we brought in our luggage, I wanted to know if she had a first floor room. Seeing that we are seniors, she chose a first floor room nearest to the entrance and breakfast area. The room was very spacious with a nice comfortable bed. Everything within the room was clean and nice. During our stay there, all the clerks were very accommodating. I forgot their names. The continental breakfast was nice, but we were used to a full breakfast menu at some of the other hotels. I would reccommend this hotel. Most of the days we spent there, before going inside we sat outside enjoying the nice breeze from the passing cars. Also, it is only a block away from Main Street downtown."
