Holiday Inn Express & Suites Columbia-I-26 @ Harbison Blvd by IHG
The hotel location was perfect for our trip. Our room was clean, and the staff was very courteous. However, our room was not as comfortable as previous stays we’ve had with Holiday Inn. We also thought that the breakfast could’ve been a lot better.
