My first trip to Columbia in 20+ years, and the Hampton Inn made it GREAT! The room was simple, but fresh and inviting. The bathroom graciously provided customary toiletries. But what made this hotel unique was the atmosphere. The staff was always friendly and helpful - at any hour. I called late in the evening, looking for a room and the staff was charming. The next morning, the breakfast was a buffet-style, with a nice variety of breakfast items and fresh coffee provided all day. The evening hour brought a "happy hour" of chips/dips and iced drinks. Guests enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and company. The hotel is situated among some of the most popular restaurants in Columbia, and we tried several of the local fares - none disappointed. A Starbucks directly across the street was icing on cake. This hotel is reasonably priced and well worth the stay.
