Nice location downtown. Was greeted cheerfully and was checked in even though I didn't have a reservation. Nice cozy lobby with Starbucks also inside. There's a martini bar in the lobby located inside a bank safe! ( the building used to be a bank). There's a rooftop bar as well. The weather was nice with a light breeze so it... More

Good location, just a short walk to the popular Vista area with restaurants and bars. While the building is obviously older, the hotel has done a nice job of giving it an updated feel but keeping the charm of days gone by, such as the martini bar built in the old bank vault. Our room was cozy with a decent... More

It's really downtown. Just a short walk to the Capitol. The hotel is situated in an old building. The bar is in an old vault. There is also a nice outside bar on the top floor with great views over the city. The room was nicely renovated, but with an original touch, like twe wooden flooring. The room was clean... More

Jacob's friendliness was our first introduction to Columbia; he secured our car and personally retrieved forgotten items on more than one occasion. Sean took over with that infectious smile, and transferred our belongings to our suite carefully and efficiently, while making sure the husband was comfortable after a long day on the road and in depositions. Earl Moorer exceeded his... More

I travel for work and spend a lot of time in Marriott and SPG hotels. I met Cedric Garner on this trip and am very impressed with what he's done to the club lounge. The food is great and the service excellent. Very relaxing and I'll be back.
