I work in Columbia a lot, and as a graduate of the University of South Carolina, I come to Columbia for all home football games and other sports. I've probably stayed at every downtown hotel in the city, and although several others are nice, this is my favorite for many reasons. The # 1 reason is the friendliness and efficiency... More

I have stayed in several places in Columbia and this is the best so far ... not because it is six star not because the room is the best in the USA... However I found this a great balance, my room was a good size, floors wooden which made me think of an old fashion European hotel. The room was... More

I expect way more out of Starwood properties. The good things: Location, nice roof top bar, and nice bathroom. Issues with our stay: We stay at Starwood properties because they are normally very nice hotels that accept pets. This property is not a good property to stay at with your pet. $75 fee and limited exercise areas. Rooms were very... More

Thank you so much for your honest review, and we apologize for your missing items. In scenarios such as this it is standard to speak with all employees who would have come into direct contact with the room. Unfortunately we were unable to come to any conclusive resolution in this event. Please let us know if the compensation we have... More

I have stayed there probably 10 times. Last night my husband checked in around 4, asked them to make up the sofa bed as we knew we'd be back late from the game. We arrived at midnight, 2 kids in tow. Sheets- no pillows- were dropped off for the sofa bed.We opened up the bed and there were dirty sheets... More

Because of this a new training program has been put into place with our housekeeping department to ensure that no future guests have this issue. I hope that... More

Well, I just checked in here about two hours ago and was excited about what I hoped to experience. I could tell online that this Sheraton didn't look like your typical one.
