Marriott Columbia

Facilities draw mixed feedback: many like the on-site bar and restaurant, but others report the pool closed or unheated, hot tub out of service, occasional elevator outages, and inconvenient or paid garage/valet parking. Some note dated fitness or pool areas.

Many guests find rooms and public spaces clean, yet others cite issues such as odors, ants, stained or unclean bathrooms, and missed housekeeping, showing inconsistency.

Rooms are often comfortable and contemporary, with praise for beds and showers, though some feel small or a bit dated. Recurring complaints include weak A/C or humidity, intermittent hot water, thin walls/noise, and limited in-room amenities (e.g., no microwave, paid Wi‑Fi).

Service is frequently described as friendly and accommodating across front desk, valet, and restaurant teams. Some guests experienced slow or chaotic check-ins during major events, occasional unhelpful interactions, or delays in fulfilling requests.

Central downtown location within easy walking distance of USC, Main Street’s Soda City market, museums, shops, and dining. Several mention it feels convenient and safe for events.

Many enjoyed the restaurant and bar, with good breakfast for some and attentive staff, though room service can be slow. Pricing is a recurring concern, and options (e.g., vegan) may be limited.
