Pros

Express check-in service and late check-out options available

Free grocery shopping service for extended-stay guests

Pet-friendly accommodations welcome four-legged companions

On-site parking with entrance on Pickens Street

Cons

Daily parking fee of $13

Full room cleaning service only every fourth night

“Home2 Suites in downtown Columbia is geared toward longer stays, giving you full kitchen facilities and proximity to attractions like the University of South Carolina; plus, the indoor pool is more interesting than most. I'd say the consistent parking fee should be factored into your budget, and it seems like the front desk responsiveness could be more reliable. All in all, this hotel is a solid choice if you value a suite-style setup.”
