    Pros +

    • It was a nice looking room
    • The front staff is friendly, welcoming and personable. Wendy and Brian are amazing. Best are comfy and the room and hotel are immaculate. Coffee is available 24 hours a day. Highly recommen staying here.
    • During my trip I ended up needing a room two different days and both times I checked in the staff was great and the room was so clean. Only had the breakfast the second trip and it was good. I will be staying here again.

    Cons -

    • Being charged for parking. Then there was no spaces to park. Still charged for it. Got stuck parking in garage late at night or 2100 dark my daughter was harassed by a homeless man
    • Parking was not free. Check in took us 30 min! They were manually checking to see if rooms were ready.
    • Yeah the other guests was just too noisy at about 10pm it was like they were in the room it lasted for about 10 minutes then it got quiet.

    The front desk agent, the one with the bicycle glasses was amazing! Such a welcoming attitude. Treated us like VIP. Breakfast was great, very clean hotel, will be staying here again.

    I had a very disappointing experience with Holiday Inn Express- Columbia Downtown- The Vista following a recent hurricane.

    Like many others, I lost power and decided to book a stay here for a few nights to have a place with electricity. Thankfully, the power at my home was restored sooner than expected, so I no longer needed the room. Unable to write everything. Exceed max.

    Great value, very clean room and shower, excellent breakfast

    1JenniferPosted on: 8-22-2024

    Even though I had reserved and paid for a room, they did not have one available when I got there.

    Size of room, location, friendly front desk.

    Bathroom showing wear, no hair dryer. Broken elevator

    The location was spot on for staying downtown Columbia in the Vista area.

    The bathrooms weren't thoroughly cleaned

    Location to the Vista. Very clean and modern. Great breakfast.

    Has a very nice interior & the rooms are very well kept. Like the lobby design very much.

    Just location, a distance from highway and the area is kinda old and unkept.

    10JohnPosted on: 8-12-2023

    Hotel is very nice and clean. The front desk staff were very welcoming and friendly and the pool was also very nice.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 6-8-2023

    The ambiance of the hotel was lovely; It was a quiet and clean environment. We heard minimal noise from the people on the floor above us and ate a delicious breakfast both mornings of our stay! Our encounters with other members of the staff were good.

    The staff greeting us at check-in was awful rude at the start of our encounter. It was late in the evening due to unfortunate events at another (unrelated) location, but that does not allow for unpleasant behavior towards a paying customer.

    Good customer service. Good location and we feel safe.

    Parking fee and rude check in. Girl had long fingernails and kept drumming them to show her boredom.
