However, upon checking out, I once again had to retrieve my vehicle myself from where I previously parked.

First, the good: The…read morebuilding is pretty new and very clean and pristine. My room especially was really nice, not very large but a square shape for the main bedroom which made it feel spacious for one or two people. The interior design with its dark greys sleek furnishings was what you expect and hope for in a new, modern, mid-range hotel. The lamp by the desk was especially nice and for once, a hotel desk lamp which actually provided good light. The bathroom, especially the shower design, is also very sleek and aesthetic. The downstairs lobby area is alright but slightly confusing and the stairs are laid out a bit weird, though close to the elevators: it seems all American hotels believe all their customers will take the elevator, which is sad. Especially up just a few floors. The parking lot, shared with its sister hotel, is spacious though part of it is around back: it's nice to have free self-parking at a downtown hotel. The bad: Hampton Inns, also owned by Hilton, have complimentary breakfast. Hampton's price-point normally is a bit lower than Hilton Garden, too, but I've stayed in the Hampton Inn out by the interstate here in Columbia and despite being older, it's very nice, clean, and really one of my favorite Hampton Inns anywhere. No one in writing or otherwise made clear if breakfast at the Hilton Garden was or was not free, but when I went down for it, breakfast was spread out buffet style just like a Hampton Inn so I helped myself. Shortly, a staff member accosted me and while it was clear she was trying to sound professional was a bit curt, asking if I was a Diamond Member or whatever. I told her no, but if there's a charge for it, here's my key card, just add it to my room. She said oh, don't worry about that right now. Then she was back five minutes later with a receipt for me to sign. Look, if you needed something like that done, tell me, do it when we first began the conversation as I offered. Plus, the breakfast which they charged $14 for was not as nice as what the Hampton Inn offers for free. That said, the passive-aggressive attitude of the staff member docks this review two stars.

Walking up to the front desk, I simply needed to check in. The initial reaction, what do you need? No greeting....The response....checking in. Two hotel keys were requestedand received only one. The room itself was spacious and clean, but unfortunately, it smelled of smoke. During the evening, the weather was beautiful, and we were enjoying Columbia. I thought, "It's a hotel--things happen," and tried not to let the initial issues affect our stay. Unfortunately, after returning to the hotel, we stopped at the bar. Two gentlemen were already sitting there with their drinks. After about ten minutes, the manager came out and asked if we had been served. We said no, and he told us he would go get the bartender. Another ten minutes passed, and we decided to head toward the elevator. While we were in the elevator, the manager informed us that he had found the bartender. At that point, we said, "No, thank you." He apologized, but by then the opportunity to provide good service had passed. The breakfast experience was even more frustrating. When the room was booked , breakfast was added and prepaid. The online booking process was confusing, and prepaid for two breakfast buffets...this was added to the reservation. When we went to breakfast, the employee greeted us and handed us a menu. We explained that breakfast had already been charged to our room, but she questioned us about whether we had filled out a ticket when we arrived. At that point, I was thinking, "Please don't send me back to the uninformed desk clerk. I need someone to walk me through this again." She explained a ticket needed to be filled out upon arrival but she became upset. Lack of communication between departments isn't my problem. I decided I wasn't ordering anything and would simply grab a piece of toast. I was then informed that the toast was $4.00. I asked where the butter was and was told that they don't put it out. Syrup, peanut butter, and every type of jelly are sitting out--and apparently, butter isn't simply available with the toast. At that point, the entire situation became frustrating. I eventually told the employee that I understood this wasn't her fault, but I was simply over the lack of hospitality and service throughout the stay. I was also disappointed that the manager did not appear to take accountability for the lack of service from his employees. My advice to anyone considering this hotel: Be prepared, ask questions, and make sure you fully understand what is included with your reservation--especially when it comes to breakfast and additional charges. The biggest issue for me wasn't one isolated incident. It was the repeated lack of communication, service, and hospitality. If you need to book this hotel, go in knowing exactly what you're paying for and what to expect. Otherwise, you may want to reconsider making the reservation.

First off - the front doors are not open due to construction so entrance is through the Ruth Chris steak house. Reception is located in the hallway on makeshift plastic desks. I requested headphones and person at the desk was trying to avoid getting up and handing me a pair so I asked three times before I got it. Room is clean but worn out. AC is old and tired and getting temperature right is an art form. Water pressure in the shower is great - but keeping water hot is hard. It was either too hot or too cold. There is no complementary bottled water or even one to buy in the room. No clocks or alarms, and certainly no microwave. I ventured in the morning to the front desk to buy coffee and they had none. They directed me to the Ruth Chris steak house for breakfast at $18 a person which comes with coffee. No individual coffee available. Of course I had to wait for restaurant to open. Pool is not operational. Elevators are slow. I was charged twice for valet and had to argue to get it taken off. Let's face it - this is not a hotel. It is a Ruth Chris steak house with attached rooms. Shame on you Hilton!!! I am going back to Marriott!

They let me put my bag down in a room while I stepped out for lunch. I returned later to a clean and beautiful room (The Gervais) on the bottom floor. It had a very comfy bed, desk area, small TV, closet, and bathroom with both a shower and claw footed tub. Besides the cozy room, there was a big living area that always had soft drinks, water, snacks, and even wine at the ready. For breakfast, I enjoyed some yogurt and fruit. One of my favorite parts of the inn was all of the art on the wall. Most of it is for sale from local artists and you're invited to walk around the different rooms that are not occupied to take a look. There was a small parking lot in the back. In the evening, I had dinner on Main Street and opted to have a nice walk which took about 15 minutes. Perfect location! I only stayed for one night but would certainly love to return for longer.

I booked The 1425 Inn on Expedia in July for a weekend in November as we were going to visit my child at U of South Carolina. I made sure that the rate was refundable and that we would not pay anything until we arrived on site because our plans were not yet confirmed. A couple of weeks later I notice the 1425 Inn had charged my credit card even though I had made sure that our booking would not require a deposit or any type of payment. I canceled the booking and expected that the money they charged would be refunded to my credit card. Several weeks pass and the 1425 Inn did not refund me. I contacted Expedia and they said they would investigate. A couple days later Expedia informed me that the 1425 Inn REFUSED TO REFUND my money. I was shocked. I re-read the booking and the cancellation all of which stated that I would not be charged if I canceled by Nov 3rd (I canceled in August). I don't know what kind of business practice this place employs but taking my money without consent and refusing to refund it to me is STEALING. IF I WERE YOU I WOULD NOT BOOK, LET ALONE STAY, AT THE 1425 INN.

This hotel feels very new despite some reviews being from a year ago. Everything from the lobby to the guest rooms were spotless and well maintained to us. Check in was easy, the staff were friendly throughout our stay, and the overall experience was smooth from start to finish. Our room was surprisingly spacious and included two queen beds plus a fold-out sofa/futon, giving us plenty of room to spread out after a long day of exploring nearby Congaree. The beds were comfortable, but the real MVP of the room was the shower. The water pressure was absolutely marvelous - a small thing that frequent travelers understand can make a huge difference. Parking did come with a modest $5 fee, which wasn't ideal, but it certainly wasn't enough to detract from the experience. Breakfast the following morning was solid with plenty of options to fuel up before hitting the road.
