Hilton Garden Inn Columbia/Harbison

I like the convenient of the hotel being close to everything. This will always be my go to spot for a quick getaway.

There was a wait on our rooms. It was like 4 other customers waiting 10-15 minutes before having our rooms ready.

We have stayed at this location for several years when attending football and basketball games at USC and have always been welcomed by the staff. Our rooms are always very clean and comfortable.

On this one and only time this weekend there was an unpleasant odor in the hallway. We notified the desk and was told it was something that had occurred on all six floors. However it was not in our room and whatever it was, it was not present the next day. We continue to stay at this location for all night games. Staff are very helpful and always friendly. Highly recommend this hotel!!!!

Clean

The hotel lobby had me excited about our stay. However, when we got to our room my excitement plummeted. It smelled like cigarette smoke. Unfortunately, turning the heater on made that remarkably worse. We picked the side opposite the interstate hoping for it to be quieter. Nope. On Valentines Day morning, we were awakened by car after car and motorcycles revving their suped up engines and horribly loud mufflers. There must have been a car show nearby. At one point one sounded like it backfired (which to me sounded like an explosion next to my 3rd floor window). Our dog flipped out and tried to fit under the bed to hide. Breakfast is NOT free, no it is a hefty $19.99 per person - no thank you. The floors by the elevators had food dropped all over them and the elevator floors were dirty as well. We heard EVERY noise in our room from people in the hallways talking, kids running and playing, and the cherry on the sundae? Music started blasting from the room adjacent to ours leaving us wondering what was going on in THERE. Finally, room service only comes every other day which I find as a lazy and annoying reminder that COVID made standards plummet never to return again. The bathroom is the only mirror so I had to dry my hair in there. Unfortunately that means hair all over the floor and toilet which I hate. Unfortunately you just have to live with it until it's your day to get your room cleaned. I hated this hotel with a passion and would never stay here again.

Very clean and friendly staff. Eric was very nice!
