Top Founders Park Hotel Reviews

Tru By Hilton Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly breakfast was great l9ved thea"

The Lantern Columbia

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Close proximity to the convention center and lots of restaurants. Very clean rooms. Since it is a new property they have some minor issues such as my room tv cromecast was connecting to a different room. I reported this issue but no one acted on it. Fitness room has water fountain, but can use disposable paper cups. Limited breakfast options."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff and decent hot breakfast. Coffee in the lobby our first morning was not hot. Was better the second and third morning. Coffee cup lids in the rooms didn’t fit the cups in the rooms. Overall a great location and other than a couple minor things noted I would stop again. Bed and pillows were comfortable and the room fridge was cold."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Columbia Downtown/The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"Springhill Hotel was absolutely wonderful. The receptionist for check-in was very pleasant and explained everything before we got our room. The rooms are absolutely clean love the linen on the beds, which were white and the towels and washcloths were also fresh white line. The shower was very nice. I love it. In the area of the hotel was very clean and there was a lot of stores and restrooms within walking I definitely will come back again thank you."

Hyatt Place Columbia/Downtown/The Vista

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect, the staff very kind in special the lady worked in breakfast .The reception was fantastic we came from Massachusetts for my son’s graduation in Fort Jackson. They treated everyone with respect and kindness. I am giving them five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Homewood Suites By Hilton Columbia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"My experience with Homewood suites was excellent! The room was great it was clean Very spacious and the decor in the room and throughout the hotel was the best. I love the pool table feature a very nice touch. I will not stay anywhere else but Hilton hotels. There is no comparison with other hotels. The breakfast was delicious, the dinner was delicious especially the buffalo wings!! There was plenty of fun and laughter in the lobby in the evenings at the bar. The staff was so accommodating with every request. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I will be booking there next year."

Hilton Columbia Center

8/10 Good

"Great room, comfy beds, nice to have Ruth Chris in property. Loved getting water at check in. Close to campus. It was under construction. The breakfast for $32 was a bit disappointing for being in Ruth Chris (you would expect more and pay more since in that Restaurant). Parking was a bit confusing… they give you a pass to put in with your ticket… same price but almost paid twice , on bill and at exit). Overall great though, would stay again now that I know what to expect."
