Columbia Discount Bookings with Students Accommodation

Columbia is an armpit. If I never go back there again it will be too soon. The hotels were crap, at least half of the city is just schetchy as hell. The restaurant we went to was overbooked and we got ignored and then rushed through our meal.

We had a confirmation from Expedia with a room rate of $64.XX but upon arrival we were told that there were no single queen rooms left and we could upgrade to a double queen room for $25. Being almost 11:00 PM, we had no choice but to accept this bogus upcharge.

The price of the room was great. Even though it was fairly inexpensive I was expecting it to be clean and big free. The staff was friendly but. The bugs overwhelming. I was glad to leave. Never again.

We are looking to build a home north of the city and did a lot in the 2 days we were there. I loved the downtown area and the riverfront park area. Definitely would have been worth having a few more days - but will be back if our offer on land is accepted anyways :) Definitely check out the riverfront and old pump house. Got some really cool photos and there were a lot of people out enjoying the beautiful weather. If you're traveling without your dogs (which we were) and want some doggy time, head there as well. A lot of people with their four legged friends walking the greenway and hanging out on the grassy areas near the water. Very diverse area and clean city! I feel really good about moving to Columbia SC from Nashville TN.

Breakfast could have been better. I eat GF free and there was not much choice for me. Cracker Barrel is right down the street and Lizard's Thicket is not too far away. Getting around the area is very easy. I play disc golf and there are a number of courses nearby to play. I have dust mite allergies and although the beds were clean I could smell the yuk from the old carpets the minute I walked through the door. If not for this and the somewhat seedy location I would have given it 5 smiles. But I ask myself is anywhere else going to be any different given all the rule breakers allowed in our country? Probably not!

Kelly,Roshonda,Rasheed was amazing front desk staff. Jessica was very rude as a sales manager she does not represent Hilton standards at all as a manager. I didn't like my stay at all there wasn't 100% guarantee at all in I'm a Hilton honors memeber gold at that.. Jessica wasn't trying to accommodate anything off my stay nor go to any of the rooms that was given to see about the issue she was just RUDE as a manager. I should had got back my whole stay not just one night due to still staying in a dirty room
