Hotels Near Jared in Columbia

The hotel is on the edge of the highway. There is free parking. The rooms are clean and odor-free, and the beds are relatively large. Breakfast is relatively simple. There are Starbucks and Chick-fil-A on the side, but there are no other shopping places. Generally speaking, it is especially suitable for guests passing by overnight.

Very good hotel, breakfast options are a bit limited.

Clean, poor network, good value for money

My daughter and I visited UofSC for a college tour on a very busy weekend in COLA, so accommodations were very limited. I hesitantly booked the Sheraton after reading several poor reviews and rude responses from management. After some research and confirmation on site, I learned that this hotel has a new, and very well liked General Manager as of Dec. 2022. It showed, and I highly recommend a stay at the “new and improved” Sheraton Columbia. The staff was excellent, friendly and helpful (Hannah went above and beyond), charmingly old rooms were fresh and very clean, our request for a quiet room (14th floor) was met without hesitation, the location was perfect for walking all over the city and to campus (Uber for longer distance). It would be nice to upgrade offerings in Club Lounge (decent food, wine/beer), but disregard former reviews and give this hotel a fresh start!

Difficult review to write as I think I got them on a bad day, firstly the facility is in a great location just off main, lots of super restaurants all within walking distance from the hotel. Check in was a disaster, we were given the wrong room number on our key card, I was just about to go back to reception when the lady who checked is appeared on the floor to correct the room number. The room was great, I suspect it was an upgrade as I am a Diamond member although this was not acknowledged at check in. I was not asked about a welcome bonus points and never received any. I went then to park the car, I found it ok (pretty straight forward so not sure why it is commented on so much here) but the key card had not been properly activated- meaning backing up and apologising to the people in cars behind me waiting to get in. The key was recut and all worked well after that. Breakfast was average at best, after a mix up about whether I had to pay or not what was served was more Holiday Inn Express than Holiday Inn. We were leaving very early on our final day so I tried to settle up and complete all payments the night before as there was customers in reception- they would not allow me to do that and assured me someone would be there when we were departing. The receptionist on when we left seemed to be having a bad night, no interaction at all, I requested the invoice be emailed to me but it never arrived. All in all the location is great, service was poor for me - but as I say I got the feeling I got them on a bad day, I think there are other better options in the area.

I couldn’t ask for a better place to stay to bring in the new years … or in general ! I will deff be back !! The views. The location. The inside is the hotel. Beyond perfect. Great for walking. Great for walking with little ones. Everything worth seeing is soooo close. My daughter and I truly enjoyed it and still are enjoying ourselves.

We needed a place to stay for the night after an exhausting trip to New England. We drove from Winchester,VA to Fort Jackson(with a few stops) and needed a room. This La Quinta was a perfect stopover, and we will certainly remember it in the future. Clean, courteous and recently remodeled.

** Beware of theft ** I stayed at this hotel this week, and unfortunately, my AirPods were stolen by a member of the staff. The day after I left, I noticed they were missing, and I checked the location and saw they were at the hotel still. When I called the hotel to ask if they were there, I was told they were not in the lost and found. The next evening, I checked to see if they had moved on my Apple account and they were located at a town nearby at a residential address. The following morning they were back at the hotel which confirmed that an employee was in possession of them. I called and spoke to the general manager, Lisa Yilmaz, let her know about the situation and she told me she couldn’t help me because her employees were contracted. When I proceeded to let her know that if I had to drive there, I would bring the police with me to retrieve my items, She asked if I was threatening her. She was extremely rude and unprofessional, she took my information down and 20 minutes later a different manager gave me a call. This manager, Faith, was extremely kind and helpful and let me know that my AirPods were located in the lost and found. (This couldn’t have been true since they were in a different town at a home the night before) Lisa was complicit in knowing that my stolen item was with an employee and placed them in the lost and found and asked another manager to call me to notify me of my items being there. After driving two hours to receive my AirPods, (they refused to ship them to me), I spoke to Faith, who was not aware of the situation of my AirPods being missing and told me she would look into all of the issues and was very kind. It is a shame that the general manager is allowing her employees to take items from guests without any admission or repercussion. Be cautious with your items.
