Hampton Inn Columbia I-26/Harbison Blvd.

Alexas gave great restaurant recommendations, so definitely listen to her. The service has been top notch and it’s been a good stay so far. Just be ready for the toilet flush, it’ll scare the soul out of you if you aren’t expecting it.

There’s a small park and pond within walking distance, and the rooms were clean and spacious. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Alexa at the front desk. I’d recommend this location. My one minor gripe is the lack of allergy information at breakfast, which seems to be a Hilton-wide issue. My husband has a milk allergy, so I asked about a couple of items. The staff tried to check for dairy, but the food bags had no nutrition details. I don’t expect dairy-free choices, but it would be helpful if they knew what was in the food.

I came for a family member’s graduation and was lucky to find this place through a third-party booking. It’s hard to find a hotel that’s clean, quiet, and well cared for, with friendly staff. The young woman who checked me in was the best front desk person I’ve encountered in a while, outside of a luxury hotel. I’ll add her name once I get it, and I’d definitely return.

There was coffee, tea, and water available all evening, which was a nice plus. I skipped breakfast, though the spread looked inviting. The employees were pleasant and professional, and the whole hotel was very clean. My room smelled fresh and had a lovely bathroom with accessories, and it was very comfortable. The hotel is near the highway and about 20 minutes from Airport CAE. I’d highly recommend it.
