Top McKissick Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Trundle

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, recommend and would stay here again."

Gallus Stadium Park Inn, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"All was good. Would stay again."

Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown The Vista

8/10 Good

"Nice"

Tru By Hilton Columbia Downtown

8/10 Good

"The rooms are minimal, but neat and clean with lots of lovely towels. Breakfast was wonderful and offered lots of options. There was a significant issue with parking, since there were large work trucks taking up multiple spaces, even though several signs were posted that said work trucks were not allowed. As a result, many of us had to find curb spaces that wouldn't hopefully interfere if fire trucks were needed. I think the hotel should have comped the parking cost because of that. I've never stayed in Columbia before so don't have a cost comparison, but I felt the hotel room rate was overpriced."

The Lantern Hotel Columbia

8/10 Good

"Coffee situation was dubious. Staff were very nice. Some rooms do not have windows!!!"
