4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2012 NEW

Having stayed here a few years ago, we were happy to find the hotel still clean and comfortable and the staff as friendly as we'd remembered. We chose this hotel when traveling through Columbia because it's just across the street from one of our favorite restaurants, Blue Marlin. If you go there for dinner, try the gumbo -it's great! More

StarBucks and many nice restaurants within walking distance. Nice feel to the area. Hotel was ready with hot cookies and coffee when we arrived. Nice... More

It was in a great area, and there were plenty of restaurants within walking distance. The room and bathroom were very spacious, and the beds were comfy. The complimentary breakfast was... More

We almost always stay at a Hampton Inn when traveling by car due to the cleaniness of their rooms and the wonderful breakfasts they serve. We stayed at this particular Hampton Inn becasue of that and due to its proximity to the Colonial Center. It is only a block away, so very convenient if attending a concert. Our problems concerned...

It is 10:30 pm on a wednesday night. We went out to dinner and arrived back at the hotel at around 9 pm. The hotel lot (free parking behind hotel) is full. This does not seem to be a problem as there appears to be an overflow lot......until I read the fine print. You must move from the overflow lot... More

We stay here every year over the July fourth holidays on our way to Charlotte. Love the free parking and downtown location cannot be beat. We walk to all the great bars and restaurants. Always clean but the rooms are on the smallish side. More

Really ideal location for bars and food in downtown Columbia. Property seems a bit older, but has been updated with the 'new' Hampton looks. Staff is friendly, internet is fast, and rooms are nicely sized. My only complaint would be the room doors - large gap on every room door, lots of light and noise come in under the door.... More
