The Bistro. Eat. Drink. Connect.

I love this hotel! My first encounter was with buddy who after a long and dubious trip of delayed flights and being stranded momentarily he got my partner and I checked in and answered our questions effectively! Then I ended up getting sick over night Ashley took such great care of me! She brought up liquids and medicine to my room from the market, charged them to the room, ran around and got me an ice bag to help, brought extra towels and pillow. She absolutely won us over. These two made our horrible business trip so much more delightful. Also this hotel is conveniently located near usc and to downtown. A plus from us!

Nice Courtyard conveniently located near USC. The staff are friendly and accommodating and made my overnight stay comfortable. Enjoyed the outdoor space for a bit of relaxation. The Bistro offerings are consistent and very good. Was there for a conference and found the space comfortable. Free parking in a downtown location a pleasant surprise.

I stayed here for one night while playing at an Oktoberfest off site. It was bascially pretty good. The room was modern and nice. There is a lot of noise fromt he street but it was Saturday night. The parking is in their garage and is free. You are just given a slip of paper to put on your dash. Check in and out were basically good. I did try to check out and got someone else's bill by accident. This was corrected though. The breakfast was not a good experience as I had to buy a dried oatmeal canister to put in my microwave. The coffee was good as it was Starbucks. All in all, if you are staying on campus, this is a good choice.

A word of warning. I booked a room at Courtyard downtown Columbia, SC that I had to cancel about 32 hours ahead of check in. I was told I would not be charged. I was charged $227.36 on my credit card.

The hotel is directly adjacent to the USC campus, so convenience is a huge plus if you're visiting the university. The staff were friendly and helpful at the front desk and the restaurant. Rooms are a bit tired, but clean and comfortable. I'd definitely plan on returning when I come back to Columbia.
