To whom it may concern, I would like to take a moment to share my experience at the Cambria in downtown Columbia, SC. Unfortunately, my visit to this location was quite disappointing, and I’ve never encountered such issues at any other Cambria hotel. I had booked a room with a king-size bed, but upon arrival, I was informed that the room I reserved was sold out. They claimed they tried to email me about this, but I did not receive any notification until it was time to check in. Additionally, the front desk representative was not very friendly, which added to my frustration. The self-parking situation was also problematic, as there are only 20 parking spots available. I opted for self-parking because I had to wait 15 minutes to retrieve my car from the valet, and I had an appointment to attend. Overall, I am very disappointed with my stay here, as this experience was unlike any I’ve had before.

Clean spacious rooms and great location

Had a 3 night stay for business and had a great experience here. The hotel is new with spacious clean rooms and was cleaned everyday. All the staff from front desk to food and beverage are super friendly and helpful. The location is perfect and short walk to great restaurants. Will definitely stay here again.
