Great location. Really professional desk staff.
Nothing really.I had a wonderful stay here. I was in Columbia on business. Great location. A very friendly staff. The young man at the desk, his name was Mike Morgan I think, told me all about restaurants in the area and how to get around. Really went out of his way!

Well-kept.N/AClarion hotel chains typically are pretty solid in terms of quality. Unfortunately, I would guess this one was refurbished from an older building or had been around a while. I am used to receiving more options in a Holiday Inn Express (which is star ranke...Read More

I didn't like anything about this hotel.The rooms smelled like strongly watermelon jolly ranchers. The beds were uncomfortable. The walls were thin&This hotel should really be called a motel. A good portion of the rooms are in a motel style annex building. The room smelled strongly of watermelon candy. The beds were hard and uncomfortable. The shower never stayed the same temperature fluctuating betw...Read More

Location was close to University of South Carolina.Could be cleaner - furniture in room was soiled.Pleasant enough for the money, convenient location. Room furniture somewhat shabby with wear and tear but the room was basically clean and the bed was good enough.

Close to university of south Carolina. Near restaurants.Rooms are old, dated. Tiles cracked. Bed spreads dirty.Too expensive for what is provided. Very dated. 70's style. Typical college town, low end hotel. Expected more upscale.

The hotel was conveniently located to the function my husband and I attended.After my husband registered at the front desk and returned to the car, we were approached by a pan handler.The hotel is conveniently located to businesses, schools, and entertainment. Accommodation were clean. The beds were comfortable, and the hotel was quiet.

Location.The room was out of date, bad shower, smelled bad.We were very disappointed to find that this was really a motel, not a hotel. The window was on a walkway, so we had to keep the curtains drawn. The room smelled of mildew and bothered my allergies. The hand-held shower head had no way to attach it to the ...Read More

Location.Bed was hard as a rock.The hotel was decent, but I did not realize they had motel style rooms in the back (where I ended up staying). Overall it was a decent hotel, but the rooms behind the main building are rather shady.
