I really appreciated how I felt like a very special guest yet never patronized by anyone working there. The room was clean and well decorated, the equipment in the work-out room was up to date and the elevator was quick (I stayed on the 11th floor so that's always important to someone a bit claustrophobic). For dinner both nights, I ordered in their bar and took the food to my room and it was very tasty. When I couldn't find a soup & salad combo on their menu one night, they still managed to order just that for me from their restaurant and not charge me a service fee. Even access to the garage, which is across the side alley, is simple via their covered walkway over the alley. I really enjoyed my stay and would do it again, if I found myself in Columbia again.

The tv is so slow it took 20 minutes just for it to connect to the one tv streaming service it lets you use that you already pay for (Netflix). There's no cheaper parking around so you're spending $20/day there which is fine but wifi in 2026 not being included with your room stay is a cash grab. Oh and their elevator is broken because someone pushed a button too hard and now it's stuck. Hope whoever visits has good phone service otherwise you're sol and will have to pay for wifi per day because the hotel is too cheap to even offer that. Should've just stayed at a motel at least there you get what you pay for.

Yelp Review by Captain 619…read more Spring has draped Columbia, South Carolina, in her finest gown--dogwoods blooming like lace, azaleas blushing at the sun, and a warmth that seeps into the soul. Amid this Southern reverie, I find myself on a six-day work mission, lodged at the SpringHill Suites by Marriott on 511 Lady Street. Let me tell you, friends, this isn't just another hotel--it's a sanctuary stitched with kindness. By day two, I realized the heartbeat of this place isn't just its crisp linens or spotless halls (though they shine brighter than most). No--it's the people. Each morning, descending the stairs feels like stepping into a hug. First, Shirley, with her radiant cheer, greets me like an old friend, her laughter a melody that chases the fog of sleep. Today, Debra stood beside her, her smile a quiet sunrise, her presence wrapping the breakfast nook in tranquility. Ah, the breakfast--far more than a complimentary perk. Here, the coffee isn't just poured; it's offered with a "How's your morning, sweetheart?" The pastries aren't just displayed; they're arranged with a tentative care, as if each item and yogurt cup were chosen for a loved one. I've stayed in countless hotels where the meal spread feels transactional, but here? It's nourishment--for the body and the spirit. Shirley remembers how I take my coffee. Debra and her calm voice a balm for this weary traveler's soul. It's the details, you see. The way the dining area hums with warmth, strangers swapping stories over scrambled eggs. The way the staff treats every guest--whether a road-worn business soul or a family passing through--like kin. Shirley and Debra don't just work here; they minister here, turning routine interactions into tiny acts of grace. Without them, this would've been another forgettable stay. But because of their excellence--their humanity--SpringHill Suites has etched itself into my memory. To the team: thank you for crafting not just a hotel, but a haven. To future guests: come for the comfort, stay for the hearts that make it shine. Captain 619 sails away with a full heart--and five stars, well earned.

My only two complaints are that the bed was hard as hell and there were stains on the curtains. It's like the wood bench-like thing over the A/C unit was stained and that stain got all over the bottom of the curtains. At least that's what I hope it was. I couldn't really tell but my suggestion would be to change the curtains out so no one has to guess what it is! Not sure I would visit again as I'm still sore 2 days later from trying to sleep on that hard mattress. If that's not important to you give it a try!

She asked if I was checking into H2S and when I advised no she got snippy with me and asked why she sent me to that desk. Eventually, I got checked in. Leaving the elevator on the 2nd floor I was faced with a strong smell of urine (it may have been something else but smelled like urine). My room is spacious and clean. The thermostat does not work and you must control the air in the unit itself. It isn't a bad place to stay but it's definitely a 3-star (or less) hotel.

My bathtub looked like it was covered in a layer of rust and the bottom of the tub was brown and worn. The carpet didn't seem very clean and the surfaces could have used a good wipe-down. The parking was $18, but I noticed it was only $10 for a special event. How would they have known if I was a hotel guest or a special event attendee since it was all in the same garage? Rip off. Although it wasn't terrible, I probably wouldn't recommend it. Go to the Hampton or another less expensive option downtown.

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.

Came in for a light dinner and ordered buffalo wings. While they are not breaded, everything is fried in the same oil. So, something to be mindful of if you're GF. I was hungry and took a risk. The wings were juicy and the buffalo, very very vinegar based, was nice and appropriately spicy. The ranch was good and creamy though I do suspect some sugar was involved. I'm not mad at it and I would order the wings again. Bar staff was super nice and attentive. Would highly recommend.

We were here because…read morewe were attending a concert at colonial Life Arena to see my favorite band-- The Jonas Brothers! For concerts, we stay overnight so that we don't have to drive sleepy. This was about 2 hours away from where i reside currently. This hotel is near downtown and was about maybe 10 minutes to the arena and nearby food options. It has parking, and one can also park in the parking garage. We arrived at 2:25PM, checked in, and said our room was not ready. Okay... then they changed the room, did ask us if we wanted a high floor, but then after what seemed like 30 minutes, the room was finally prepared for us and ready. Oh, and side note, it seemed like the receptionist was training or new or something. But it's okay! Upon Check in, they gave us a free snack and 2 waters for each guest. Thought that was cool. The room was with 2 bedrooms and the couch. The couch also came out like a bed, and was an extra Room was small, but very comfortable. Hotel was also clean inside and out. Breakfast is included in the morning- it is from 6-9AM though, so sort of had to get up early for breakfast. I also noticed that in the lobby they also had a restaurant that served drinks and some food. Not sure if the food served is just appetizers or not, but still an option. They had rolling carts to put your suitcases on, and it helped us bring our stuff to our room. Although, they should make their carts thinner because we had to squeeze the cart in our room. We did, and then returned the cart when we were done with it. My aunt asked about food options, and they didn't really seem to give any information, and it was the same receptionist who checked us in. Later on before heading out, the same receptionist gave vague information about the parking garage. Say things like the signs will tell you where to park, since we have assigned spots in that garage. We don't know, it's our first time in Columbia! Show off your town and explain things! Now, we did find a pamplet inside our room with food options in it, and we took a look. We then decided to head out to the concert. At night we headed back, found our way through the garage including where to park, and went to our room. Fell right asleep, as it was comfortable in the hotel. The next morning was breakfast, and Loved the breakfast choices, including the pancakes! I had pancakes, cereal, and a small bagel and coffee. The pancakes were good, although around the edges were a little crispy and hard to cut-- but managable. Checked out a few minutes after breakfast, and it was an easy checkout, and pleasant. Hope to consider this place again should we see a concert in columbia!

I genuinely have very kind sentiments to the entire team. They are so kind, caring and nice. One of the front desk team members had a pup that went through the same illness as our sweet pup. Our pup adored her and would look for her every time she was at the hotel. Says a lot when a pup goes out of their way to say hi to someone. The woman at the front desk would also ask how our pup was doing when I was staying there and the pup was in the hospital. She was a kind and friendly face every time. While they are other hotels closer to CVETS this is my preferred hotel not just because it is pet friendly but because I found the rooms and space to be clean. The woman who puts out and tidies up the breakfast is very kind a lot of folks just seem to walk by her but I always stopped to say hi and ask how she was doing. She is such a friendly smile and does a brilliant job. When I was there you would never know how many folks had come and gone from eating. She was on top of it and kept everything tidied. Come to think of it I do not recollect a time where anything was out of stock or needed to be replenished. She was there tending to it before any of the items emptied. They had gluten free items available off the top of my head some of Udi's muffins comes to mind. I am not sure what else. Rooms were always clean and tidy. Never did I come across anything less than ideal or not fresh in the room. LOVE their beds similar to mine at home and very comfortable to sleep on. I really liked that the side doors all needed key card access. They also all closed and secured. I was very happy and felt safe because of this feature. If you forget your card, you can always walk around and go through the front. But I liked that the sides were secured and you genuinely had to use your keycard to access. Used my mobile key most of the time and worked perfectly every time. All the air conditioners worked great! Even staying in the hottest part of summer was always perfectly comfortable I liked the layout. Found the rooms quite quiet. It was easy to have DoorDash delivered. I just had then drop it off at my room. However, you can have it left with the front desk as I saw that happen a few times in passing. They do charge for parking but that was made clear to me from the time of booking. Parking lot is clean and nicely lit. Which I appreciated especially when taking a pup out for the last tinkle of the night. There is a pet waste disposal bin and pet waste bags too if you are out of then on your leash. There is a little store in the front. My bills were all accurate and points credited in a timely manner to my Marriott Bonvoy account. (Which I have come to appreciate as that is not the same for every Marriott property.) TL;DR Loved the staff, nice hearty breakfast and clean. Would stay there again, recommended to CVETS for other out of town patients and would to anyone else in the area. Liked their beds and bedding!
