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.
