I would like to make a recommendation, and that would be to have the presence of security there in the hotel. I was confronted twice by men who were not staying at the hotel, but were there to solicit money from the hotel customers. Not a good feeling when you are attempting to get to your room and you're not sure if they are planning to hop the elevator with you.

Liked: The food at the restaurant and the hotel bar. Taylor, the bartender was excellent. He was professional and personable.
Disliked: My room was a handicap room, which I would have preferred the front desk to tell me that when I checked in. However, they did not. I did not enjoy the room at all!

I was definitely disappointed at having to wait on the room, not having any toiletries, and seeing the thin mattresses on the beds. But I was pleased with the pleasant staff and the hotel was within walking distance of the venue.

Liked: Nice staff; decent hotel bar; good location.
Disliked: Room wasn't ready on time; we had to call down to front desk to request toiletries (they forgot to put them in our room), which then didn't get brought up until hours later; really crummy mattresses.

Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and in proper order. Had dinner in bar area before setting off to concert. Only complaint was noisy guests in hallway after midnight!

Liked: Easy to locate as entering city; close to venue we were attending (Township Auditorium).

Very good

Liked: Very good location; a good exercise room and very good pool.Ate in the restaurant, food was good and our waiter was excellentAlso, many downtown restaurants were nearby. As a huge plus, Columbia had a Farmers Market Saturday morning on Main St, in front of hotel. We thought this was excellent, both excellent food vendors and merchandise vendors.
Disliked: Luggage check-in, check-out, a bit awkward; the public parking garage is close with causeway access between hotel and garage, but it?s a long walk.The rooms are dated and small, the bathroom was tight. We never expected such low quality with Marriott..

Pleasant

Disliked: I feel like the bathrooms can be update. As wellAs rooms. The rooms give me motel feeling instead of hotels vibes. Parking fee for the hotel just crazy to me.

Would stay there again if...

Liked: Location!!!

stay was pleasant except for...

Liked: Staff, including the maid service, was helpful and pleasant. Hotel was convenient location.
Disliked: When i booked the reservation the booking agent assured me that there was valet parking available. However, when I arrived, there was no valet parking, only self-parking in a garage with no designated parking. This was disappointing and inconvenient, especially given the warmth and high humidity.
