Was staying in town for a concert at Williams Brice Stadium, so if you want to be close to there, this is only a 5 minute drive away. The free limo was a nice service. However, when checking in, there were 2 employees at the front desk, but it took them over 1 minute to finish their converstaion and even... More

Older hotel, but still nice. Except the party in the parking lot at 2 A.M., which we had to call the front desk to clear up. Also made a reservation with their Limo and they didn't show up, messed up our night. Not on my return list, use caution.

This place is a DUMP!!!!! The dirtiest hotel I've ever stayed in. I'm sitting in my room as I type this- totally disgusted. So far beyond dirty and run down. Dead bugs under the sink- carpet not vacuumed, some old bottle cap on the bathroom floor, exposed outlets, exposed wiring in the laundry area. DISGUSTING

I booked my overnight stay at the Whitney Hotel through a Priceline.com bid and got the 2 bedroom suite at a very good price. We were in Columbia one night for a Carrie Underwood concert. The decor in the room was in great need of updating, but was clean and fairly comfortable. If I had paid full price it would... More

I'm trapped in the dirtiest hotel I've ever encountered. Body stains on furniture. Dingy yellow/brown sheets. Everything's coated in a layer of filth. The tub doesn't drain. I've waited two hours for a clean pillowcase and still nothing. It smellys damp and moldy. I'm flabbergasted that this place is in business.
