Hotel very smart and clean. We appreciated the good value breakfast and the friendliness of all the staff. One small issue we had with our room was eventually resolved and a suitable gesture made as compensation. Would recommend this hotel for both its location and amenities.

Had a wonderful stay at the Cambria in Columbia! Hotel staff is great and rooms are big and cozy. Especially enjoyed the “tailgate” they put on in the lobby before the USC football game! I’ll be back!

This was our first time at Cambria. Loved that there were no carpets in the room, no tub to collect water while showering, water pressure was great, room was clean, the staff was friendly and accommodating. 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.
