Very nice room, very clean, very big, we really enjoyed our stay. Nothing to change, great room, great location, great value for the price paid. I ordered the vanilla yogurt for breakfast and I loved it, it was a nice big portion. Location is perfect, very convenient. I really enjoyed my stay! Everything was great! I didn't book the rate with the breakfast included unfortunately. Hotel parking was a little expensive in my opinion, but that's how it is in most cities in the US.

Old hotel needing renovation. They don't offer cleaning service unless you stay 1 week which is poor for $287 per night. You get a tiny soap bar and a few towels - we had 4 in a room so had to call to get more towels, toilet paper, soap, etc. Bar and restaurant on-site are great. Outdoor bar was packed but no outdoor bartender which is odd. Location is a 10.

One of the most expensive places to stay in town. I do like the hotel, larger room size and bar area. That said, on our recent stay housekeeping repeatedly rapped on our door waking us up despite the Privacy sign hanging. After answering the door obviously woken up, they tried to come in again a half hour later when I was getting out of the shower. Raising this to the attention of the front desk when checking out at 11am they said that my room was already marked as vacated. I don't know how that happened. Instead of taking accountability for how my room was marked vacated the front desk made excuses for housekeeping. This was not a very relaxing experience

The room was located across from a crazy loud bar with nightly music until 2am then people hanging out after. Garbage trucks outside around 5am the room above was sounded like people were moving furniture at 6ish it was absolutely insane. And despite multiple requests to have the room cleaned over the 4 day stay it was never cleaned. Worst place I’ve ever stayed at

Very attractive property. Good location for walking to restaurants. Great drinks in the restaurant. Room could have been cleaner. There was visible dirt on ottoman and rug. But aesthetically pleasing and roomy. We had a king suite. Unfortunately, “kids gone wild” ruined our stay and we had to leave early. There was one staff at the desk and all he could do was call the problematic room and not physically shut the chaos down. No one answered the phone of course. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday so we went to the hotel in hopes of relaxing and spending one on one time. Thanks to the “home alone” kids above us, that didn’t work out. I have to take away points because clearly the hotel was very understaffed that the kids won and we had to leave. We were looking forward to the breakfast and going to Soda City in the morning. Really disappointed. I won’t rate lower because the gentleman that checked us in really did his best. He couldn’t physically address the issue because the front desk would be unattended. The room was good overall, two tvs. We were disappointed that neither were smart tv’s and we didn’t have any premium channels. Price for parking was fair at $20.

Conveniently located to Fort Jackson, the reason for our visit. There was a fee to park but otherwise this was a great value and pleasant stay.

I do not like valet parking, but to each there own. Everything else was very nice. There were so many restaurants and things to do in walking distance. Only a 16 minute walk if you are intown for concerts. I will stay here again for sure. Thank you for the great stay.

I was honestly shocked by how amazing this hotel was! From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional—friendly, professional, and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, valet was quick and convenient, and every detail exceeded my expectations. This hotel completely surprised me in the best way possible, and I can confidently say I’ll be staying here anytime I visit. Highly recommend!

Room was really nice but parking should have been free for customers.

Because the rooms have hardwood floors, you can hear other people in adjacent rooms or rooms above you. Request top floor or bring a fan. The hotel should keep box fans on hand for guests. I am a light sleeper and could hear a child crying in the night in another room.

This property was an excellent find after our original planned hotel was not up to our liking. This area felt safe, easily walkable to nearby food options. The room was very comfortable and clean. The staff was attentive and friendly, providing an overall great experience on an impromptu booking. Would recommend to friends and others, and would stay here again if ever in the area.

The hotel is clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful. It’s close to downtown, within walking distance. The only downside is that I could hear footsteps from the room above.

We had a long drive followed by really long meetings yesterday. We grabbed a quick glass of wine at the bar and just decided to eat-in and hit the hay early. We chatted with the bartender through our meal and went right to bed. Our room was freezing because the AC actually worked and we were out by 9:00. That only happens when all things feel calm, clean, and comfortable which the Cambria supplied. We will stay here again in coming months versus several other hotels in Columbia. Great value and consistent delivery on their objective.

This was by far the BEST hotel that I have ever stayed at. Coming from the State of Maryland I was unsure of how I would like the hotel! It well exceeded my expectations!! This will be where I stay whenever I come to South Carolina

manager came up at 9:30 to check thermostat and said she would come back and didn't so we went to bed. Nice property and staff, but waaay too many issues to warrant the expense of this hotel.

We stayed here while my son attended his student orientation at University of South Carolina. We had stayed here when we toured the college last year will be back again in August for move in. Very nice modern clean hotel with a friendly staff and very close to the university.
- 5/5
Overall hotel was nice our room didn’t look like it had been throughly cleaned more so looked as if someone just straightened up the bedding was very wrinkly as if someone had been laying on it, there was so many balls of hair on floor the toilet was not clean at all, and also maybe give options on shower pressure because having just that one setting for the shower sucks because it’s such a strong pressure doesn’t make showering enjoyable other than that great staff beautiful property!

Clean hip hotel in the middle of downtown Columbia, SC. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were spacious, clean, and modern. NO CARPET! The bar is nice and they have a patio. No rooftop or pool but it’s a nice rooftop hotel 5 minutes away (walkable). And there are several food options within walking distance.

My stay at the hotel was lovely and I have no complaints-including when my toilet clogged. Leo from housekeeping came up and was so professional, and friendly and solved the problem and gave me some tips on visiting Columbia S.C. since it was my first time there. Everyone was nice but Leo stood out.

The front desk staff were exceptional very kind and helpful. They even allowed us to check in early, which was a huge plus. Shout-ou to the valet team: while the gentleman who greeted us upon arrival seemed a bit preoccupied on his phone and did not acknowledge us, the valet who assisted us at checkout more than made up for it. He was warm, attentive, offered us cold bottled water, and sincerely wished us safe travels. That kind of hospitality goes a long way! Unfortunately, a severe storm rolled through during the night, and it knocked out several electrical components in our room, including the TV, some power outlets, and the AC. At 1:00 AM, we were offered a room change by the front desk staff, which was thoughtful, but not ideal considering how late it was and that we were checking out in a few hours. We decided to stay put and make the best of it. In response, the hotel refunded our parking fee (since our room was prepaid through a third party), which we appreciated. I also want to commend the morning team. The maintenance technician was already on his way to our room to address the issue even before I went to the front desk, which shows great internal communication and responsiveness.

The property was clean. We had issue with the running toilet. It’s started in the middle of the night so was not really an option to call someone to fix. Another issue was dinner. You had to order at the bar. First night of our stay we did not know about it. Saw empty dining room that we were told at check in was serving dinner starting at 5. Second night we stood at the bar just waiting for the menu. We were ignored for a while by 2 bar employees. After 10 minutes we left and went elsewhere to eat. Parking lot was also overcrowded and we had to leave the car with the valley ( still a nice option). Our breakfast experience was outstanding. The staff were super attentive.
