Plus, you’re just a short drive from local eateries and casual dining spots.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or have a bar, its location makes it easy to head into downtown Columbia for post-show drinks or a nightcap. You’ll find laid-back pubs, craft beer spots, and lounges just minutes away.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms and the option to cook their own meals. The hotel is often praised for being quiet and comfortable, even when fully booked. Reviewers frequently mention the friendly staff and well-kept indoor pool as highlights of their stay.

Areas for Improvement

While the location is peaceful, it’s not in the heart of downtown—so you’ll likely need a car or rideshare to get to most venues and nightlife. Also, don’t expect an on-site bar or restaurant, though the in-room kitchens and nearby dining make up for it.

The Bottom Line

Residence Inn by Marriott Columbia is a quiet, comfortable home base with space to relax and recharge after the show—ideal for concert-goers who want convenience without the downtown noise.
