In the morning, guests can enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast that includes bagels, assorted pastries, quiches, yogurt, coffee, tea, and more. You can park onsite for $18/night or in the garage across the street at their rate. Don't miss out on a beautiful experience in a historic building.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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. Clean rooms, friendly service, comfortable accommodations, strong shower pressure, and a good breakfast. For a quick overnight stay, I really have no complaints. I'd happily stay here again.
