Pros

Free shuttle service connects guests to Columbia Metropolitan Airport

Variety of dining options within 0.5 miles, including Waffle House and Capital City Bar & Grill

Close to Congaree National Park, featuring old-growth forests

Recreational activities like jet skiing and kayaking available in surrounding waters

Cons

4 miles distance from downtown Columbia and State House

Seasonal outdoor pool not available year-round

“This non-smoking hotel seems geared toward balancing convenience and basic comfort near the airport; it could work well for business trips or quick stopovers, though some reports raise concern about billing clarity. Being near the Congaree National Park and having that seasonal outdoor pool feels like a nice addition, depending on the time of year, but I'd advise double-checking your final bill.”
