We were very disappointed with our booking, our room is very small and the hotel has no pool for the kids. Thin walls and noisy rooms and very basic decor take away from the beauty of the actual building. For the price we paid for the room we were expecting a 4 star room but instead it s more like a 2 stay room.

Had a fabulous stay! Valet and front desk were more than accommodating. They were extremely nice to my 9 year old son who was accompanying me Super helpful with local tips for dinner. I got lost in the staff quarters on my way to Starbucks on their lower level and they were super friendly to assist me. Whoops! ;) The appetizers and wine in the Club Lounge were great and the continental breakfast was great as well. The ambiance of the hotel is super cool. Definitely will stay again.

We stayed at this hotel when we had to evacuate Florida due to hurricane Irma. The staff were very accommodating. The were full to capacity with nervous guests who had to flee their homes. There were people and dogs everywhere. The staff remained calm and friendly. Their "anything you want " attitude made everyone feel comfortable and at ease. The campus sorority sisters even made hurricane welcome bags with snacks and Gatorade. The town was very inviting even though many restaurants and shops were closed due to the weather. The stand out employee was Frederick for his work ethic. Thanks to all of you who made us feel welcome even when nerves were being stretched.

I've been staying here at the hotel attending a local clergy conference in Columbia. There are late nights and tonight was no different. I came in around 10:20pm and went to the restaurant to order my dinner with hopes it could be brought to my room. At 10:27pm, I was told that the restaurant was closed and the Chef had already left. The restaurant doesnt close until 11:00pm yet no one seemed to know why it was closed at 10:27pm and the Chef already left the building.

Ryan offered to go and get dinner for at any nearby restaurants. He began to make recommendations and said he is happy to pick it up and bring to my room. Jill also provided me access to the Club Level so I could access to drinks and snacks and free breakfast in the morning. The customer serbice by these two employees was exceptional!! They went above and beyond the call of duty. I am very grateful to Ryan for making sure I had dinner. Cudo's to them both!

I am disappointed that the restaurant closed 30 minutes esrly and none of the staff was aware
Im sure I wasnt the only person wanting to order before 11pm.

Probably one of the worst hotels I've stayed in recently. Room was nice, but not without many flaws. There's no counter space in the bathroom for toiletries. I found chewed up gum in my coffee cup. And only received one bottle of water in my room the entire stay. I guess members really do get all the perks. :/

When my colleagues and I arrived after the posted checkin time, we were informed our rooms were not ready yet, but they would be available soon. Since we had booked the club level, they went ahead and gave us club lounge key cards. Two hours later they were still not ready. When they could finally get us in our rooms, three of the four were on club floors and the other down on 6th. I was informed they would "try" to get me a discount.

The club lounge was a joke. There are too many tables and chairs in it, you can't walk around. When I went up for breakfast on the first day there were no plates or bread items. Poor toaster didn't get any use. Second day they provided bagels, but no butter or cream cheese to put on them.

Room service trays were left in the hallways on multiple occasions. One has been there for a full 24 hours.

Definitely would not stay in this hotel again.

I loved staying here. It's a renovated 1913 bank building and it feels like you're stepping back into the Golden Age. The rooms are great and the staff is exceptional. I like the rooftop bar as well as the one in the bank vault. Classy and elegant. Easily my favorite hotel in Columbia.

The view from the balcony of the rooftop bar was phenomenal making for an intimate and classy experience. It's a gem that not everyone knows about where you can sip a dry martini or Tom Collins in comfort and relaxation.

Probably the worst customer service I've received at a hotel. Underwhelming. I'd suggest heading over to the Hilton a few blocks over. Front desk doesn't answer calls from rooms, valet is very slow and uninterested in helping clients. Really just disappointed.

The staff was very welcoming at the front desk, the valet men were extremely accommodating and motivated. It's near everything, high rating dining, the zoo, nightlife and has wonderful bars of its own that locals come in and out of for a great social experience and even better people watching.

The rooms are clean with 3 AWESOME AMENITIES, DUAL SHOWER HEADS, TV IN THE BATHROOM, AND ON DEMAND FOR MOVIES CURRENTLY IN THE THEATERS.
**Now our room didnt have a fridge or microwave but they do have room service.

The Starbucks is below the hotel, accessible from out side only, ON WEEKENDS THE STARBUCKS CLOSES AT 6 PM.

Other than the above I thought the rooms were decorated and provided a good option.

The Sheraton is in the middle of downtown with many restaurants within walking distance. The hotel was built in an old bank and makes it unique from other Sheratons. The rooms aren't the typical hotel room but feel more like a small apartment minus a kitchen. The floors are hardwood in each room so they do creak. There is also a bar within the old bank vault which is quite nice. Overall the hotel provides a modern feel to the typical hotel lodging and provides good service.

Location was good in the center of town. They advertise as good for business travelers but don't have a shuttle to or from the airport. Bathroom was fantastic, but the bed in the room was crunchy and squeaky, and the wardrobe was broken and the interior light wouldn't go off. It was fine.

Disappointing. Problems with hot water. Problems with plumbing. Beds were made by what looked like a 5th grader. Very poor service for drinks in the restaurant one evening. Breakfast was moderate at best. Evening reception poor. Nice location. Decor was great. Clean. Rooftop bar cool!

Everyone at the front desk was completely rude to my family when they were here for my college graduation. We tried to have a nice breakfast before they went back out of town and there was one waitress working the whole restaurant on Mother's Day no less. Who thought it would a good idea to have one waitress on Mother's Day is beyond me. My aunt had to teach the people at the front desk how not to double charge people for the room. She had to literally circle on the bill where she was double charged. The restroom is the restaurant was out of order and my 4 year old niece had to use the men's restroom. We had to send her meal back as well because we asked for NO BANANAS and there was bananas anyway. The whole hotel was disgusting and the people working would rather gossip then do their jobs. Seriously corporate needs to come in here and fire everyone and hire some people who know what the hell they are doing. Good day.

I stayed here a few months ago and the experience was awful. Thy didn't have the room that I had reserved and the room that they did put my family and I in only had one bed. The room was so small that it was difficult to get our luggage in, as the luggage cart didn't even fit into the room. I was electrocuted by exposed wires. My family was surprised when hotel staff entered the room on them without knocking. The hotel is very old, despite renovations it is cramped and still feels old.
