I've stayed here for a conference for the past 3 years. It's always clean and well appointed. The food at the conference is some the best I've had at a hotel event… Compliments to the catering department!!
Great location. Within walking distance to a lot of restaurants and downtown destinations.

I always have a great stay. I've been coming here for years. They have folks that have been working here for years and they are super committed to their customers. The restaurant staff were totally on top of everything and charming.

I recently stayed at the Marriott in Columbia, South Carolina, and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for—thanks in large part to the outstanding service from Lorraine at the front desk.
Lorraine was truly the highlight of my stay. She greeted me with a warm smile and an authenticity that immediately set the tone for the entire visit. She was personable, patient, and incredibly attentive, taking the time to ensure all my questions were answered and that every detail of my reservation was perfect. It’s rare to encounter someone who not only excels at their job but elevates the entire guest experience through their kindness and professionalism—and Lorraine did just that.
Beyond the exceptional service, the hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. The lobby and common areas were inviting, and my room was spotless, quiet, and relaxing after a long day. Every staff member I interacted with was courteous and helpful, but Lorraine’s warm hospitality truly made my stay memorable.
If you’re visiting Columbia and looking for a hotel that combines comfort with top-tier customer service, I highly recommend the Marriott—and be sure to say hello to Lorraine. Her exceptional care made all the difference, and I’ll absolutely be returning on my next trip.
