“The Hilton Garden Inn Columbia Downtown strikes me as a practical choice, especially given its free parking - a real advantage in this area. I noticed its central location near the Capitol and other attractions, which, paired with the on-site restaurant and bar, should simplify any visit. The updated lobby also gives a good first impression.”
