Graduate Columbia, SC

I loved the southern charm! It was beautiful and with quaint rooms that were loaded with interesting old rare books that you’d find in a one of a kind little unique bookstore. Also, we just loved the staff. Ciara’s was fantastic and helped us get checked in with such a great personality. I can’t remember our two bartenders but they were super personable and I really fancied our conversation. Thank you all! Lastly, we were able to bike ride after dinner to burn some of the calories and feel the breeze before bedtime. I have nothing but found memories!

Great location

The desk staff are wonderful - friendly, welcoming, and (justifiably) proud of - and knowledgeable about - the history of the lovely old house that forms the center (lobby, bar, sitting room, and amazing upstairs suites) of the hotel. The regular guest room décor is quite unusual, with a funky USC undergrad and sports mascot theme, and the entire experience is delightfully different from that of the usual chain hotel. Beds and pillows are comfortable, and the lounge/bar is welcoming. Several outdoor seating areas are also available for friends to gather. No free breakfast, but being conveniently located in downtown Columbia at the edge of the USC campus, one is walking distance from many good restaurants and coffee shops in the 5-points area. The hotel also has a restaurant. Be warned that there is a $10/night charge for parking, but given the dearth of affordable parking in the area, and the likelihood that a parking garage would be much pricier, it's a reasonable fee. I look forward to returning for another stay!

Perfect location in the middle of the campus and within walking distance from most sights. Secure parking. The room was really nicely appointed with cool decorations. I liked that the complimentary waters comes in a can and not in a plastic bottle. Bar looks really cool although we didnt go. It makes me want to stay in other hotels of this chain.

We absolutely loved the location!! Close to the horseshoe at UofSC, the capital building and restaurants. The room was immaculate and the bed super comfy. We loved the South Carolina Vibe and the bar downstairs was hopping.
