In the past year, I have stayed in over twenty Marriott hotels. We are reward members at the Platinum Elite level. This location is an abomination, I have never seen another Marriott property that is so filthy. My family had three rooms booked, we gave up one as it was full of dust and mildew. The mirrors were so smeared... More

Room was really small. The dimensions of the room were off. The door swung dangerously close to the bed when it was open. The bathroom shower in a king room is tiny. I woke up in the morning to hammering sound from the room above. I called front desk to complain, an explanation was given, not a solution, such as... More

Courtesy airport transportation and walking distance to several lunch and dinner options. Quiet room and well-suited for business meetings and conferences. When their shuttle back to the airport wasn't available, they paid for a taxi for me - good customer service.

I stayed here as part of a business trip - our office in SC swears by the place. It's a nice Marriott. It's undergoing renovations, but service was very good, the breakfast buffet was fine, the on-site restaurant and bar were fine. Fitness center was bigger than normal and well kept. Pool was smaller than normal but indoors. Two quirky... More

The staff was pleasant and efficient at check-in. The bell staff was very responsive. The hotel is well-located and the bed is comfy. But at breakfast, at 8 AM, the hot food at the buffet was not hot. I think this is b/c the lids on the trays for eggs, sausage and potatoes all were left open. This seemed odd... More

This is a positive review of the Columbia Marriott based on my recent stay for a business trip. Starting off with parking, you park in a shared garage with a covered walkway bridge that takes you to the hotel. From there, check in was smooth with a quick recognition of my Golds Reward status. Unfortnatly, the concierge lounge was closed... More

Stayed in April 2013 - good size room and bathroom - very big comfortable bed - no mini bar - breakfast was good and sports bar was lively with good drinks choice. Would recommend however nearest choice of restaurants was 15 mins away.

This is a solid hotel in downtown Columbia. It seems to be well managed and organized. The bar/restaurant was very active and well attended by the hotel guests. Public parking is right next door. It's very close to the University and expressway.

We came to Columbia for 3 days with one of our sons. The hotel has a great location; it is well worth getting out and walking around, especially up Main Street toward the Capitol and the university. First, the staff is very nice and helpful, but not obsequious. I needed a pair of hosiery at the last minute, and they... More
