Fantastic Location & Comfort

The visit was fantastic with location and comfort. No coffee pot in rooms, so be warned that you may want to bring your own unless you are okay with the lobby. Elevators take a while if hotel is busy. Breakfast and service in the mornings for breakfast was amazing!!!

Must stay!

I've stayed at so many hotels in Columbia during my daughter's 4 years at USC. Just moved her in for graduate school, and this was my favorite. Everyone raves about The Graduate, while it has its charm, I enjoyed my stay here far more. The hotel felt so clean and everyone (except perhaps the front desk guy who checked us in late at night) ywas incredibly nice and accommodating. I've stayed at most of the nicer hotels in the downtown and Harbison area, and though Tru is considered a no frills brand, I thought you were exceptional. One of the best free breakfasts we have ever had (amazing carnitas!) Best part of breakfast was this wonderful couple that was working the breakfast area. They were so friendly, fun and helpful. We felt like this woman was our personal waitress. We felt so well cared for for our entire 4 night stay. Hoping to stay with you for her graduation in May. Unfortunately we may have to find a less expensive option further away that weekend. Keep up the great work!
