This property was an excellent find after our original planned hotel was not up to our liking. This area felt safe, easily walkable to nearby food options. The room was very comfortable and clean. The staff was attentive and friendly, providing an overall great experience on an impromptu booking. Would recommend to friends and others, and would stay here again if ever in the area.

The hotel is clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful. It’s close to downtown, within walking distance. The only downside is that I could hear footsteps from the room above.

We had a long drive followed by really long meetings yesterday. We grabbed a quick glass of wine at the bar and just decided to eat-in and hit the hay early. We chatted with the bartender through our meal and went right to bed. Our room was freezing because the AC actually worked and we were out by 9:00. That only happens when all things feel calm, clean, and comfortable which the Cambria supplied. We will stay here again in coming months versus several other hotels in Columbia. Great value and consistent delivery on their objective.
