Graduate by Hilton Columbia SC, hotel in Columbia

Gradate Columbia is located directly on the University of South Carolina’s campus. The Columbia Metropolitan Airport is 12.5 km away.

We had booked this hotel for one night coming from Charleston and would continue the next morning to Athens. Little did we know at that time, that a certain hurricane named Helene would hit SC, GA and NC quite hard. We arrived in the rain and were happy to find out, that we would be able to use the parking garages on the university campus - so the car was safely stored. We were even happier, that this hotel contains a small café/pub - what a great feature given the weather! The room was nice, and had a nice decoration, clean and spacious. We woke up in the morning without electricity, which was of course not the hotel's fault - the whole block or city was out, but it came back at 7 and so we got a breakfast and were able to walk around in the morning. Quite a lot of trees downed, but that was nothing compared to what we later saw when driving west :(.

    The hotel was exceptionally clean and stylish!!! All the staff were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast provided a lot of choices, from bagels to hot foods to cereal, etc. The bed was very comfortable, and my room was spotless. For the most part, it was peaceful (can't control people slamming the doors when they leave smh). The location was close to various restaurants and gas stations. Oh, and they are pet friendly ($25 per pet/per night). I will definitely return.

    We were traveling home to Florida with our small dog. We searched exhaustingly for a “pet friendly” hotel. All we encountered required a $75 non-refundable pet fee. Not so pet friendly after all. Finally, we found Aloft Hotel on hotel.com. Lo and behold, they were truly pet friendly, and did not require any additional fee. They even provided a doggie goodie bag! We were happily impressed.
