Top South Carolina State Museum Hotel Reviews

Tru By Hilton Columbia Downtown

Tru By Hilton Columbia Downtown

6/10 Okay
"Writing Last-minute booking because I wanted to be closer to the Colonial Life Arena. Parking: Most of the spots are for compact cars, and I do mean true compact cars. Most people ended up taking up two spots. At the end of the night, most people were double-parked or parked in no-parking zones. They only have three handicap spots and one EV handicap spot, which was very inconvenient because I can’t walk far. Check-in: Even though I checked in through a third party, the front desk clerk didn’t ask if I was a Hilton Rewards member. Other than that, it was a smooth check-in. Room: There was hair in the shower and on the bathroom floor. I did a quick mop, and it was so dirty I had to clean it twice. The beds were okay. Breakfast: Breakfast was great, and the area was very clean. The staff was great. Check-out: I was able to add my rewards account when the front desk clerk asked. The email receipt process was smooth and easy."
