Great hotel, excellent location
Trendy & pretty hotel. Great location for restaurants & bars. Loved the bar in the lobby. Craft cocktails & a super nice bartender. We paid for breakfast. (Breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, oatmeal, & bagels.) The beds were very comfortable!
Our a/c was a little loud but not a sleep ruiner. Room was quite large too!

Not terrible
My room was right above the restaurant attached to the hotel.
During restaurant hours, I could hear voices all night until closing.
I could also hear everything in the halls and the rooms weren't sound proof and I didn't realize there was no pool.
I enjoyed my overall stay the room was small, but comfortable and clean.

Best Hotel in Columbia S.C
Best hotel even without a pool. I stay here every time I visit Columbia South Carolina. With many hotels in the area, this is the best. They do not have a pool but it’s worth the stay.
