Cambria Hotel Columbia Downtown the Vista

This place could not be more amazing. The booking was easy through choice hotels. I mean truly this place is just stunning. They have everything you could want. This is an elevated and elegant vibe. The valet is amazing, they will do anything for you, making it so easy. The hotel itself is just stunning, and great location in downtown Columbia. An amazing bar is located in the hotel lobby. Amazing breakfast. The rooms were better than we could have ever asked for. So modern and really clean. The beds are SO comfortable, along with the pillows. It was the best shower I have ever had, that water pressure is no joke! Generous amounts of shampoo and conditioner given, which is so appreciated. The hotel staff care about your stay, which is so nice. You can text the hotel staff anytime if there is anything that would make your stay more enjoyable. We had forgotten toothpaste, and a shower cap. They were more than happy to provide me with replacements, and the text feature made it so easy. All around it was such an incredible stay at this hotel. When coming here again, we will absolutely be staying here. Thank you so much to all of the positive and kind staff.

Disclaimer:Although a travel agent, I will always review based on a traveler perspective with customer service insight as I have lived both positions for a very long time. Customer service in conjunction with my experience as a customer is what drives my repeat business and recommendations to friends, family and clients. I booked this location after a previous location I booked a couple of weeks prior in the same vicinity was not available. I was in town to attend a concert with my sister who lives in Columbia so it was just an overnight stay. This trip although short was a very sentimental occasion due to who we were going to see in concert so having a relaxing place to stay and decompress was very important to me. Pulling into the parking lot, it was easy to find parking and I was able to park close and walk right into the building to check in. The lobby was clean and quiet at the time and the young lady who checked me in was very nice. Upon getting checked into my room, I was glad to see that not only was it clean but that the bluetooth mirror actually worked. I can't tell you how many hotels and other accommodations (mostly bigger name brands) that I have stayed in that have these mirrors, but they are more costume rather than functional. I am honestly a believer that if you are going to have something of that nature then make sure it works. Although it is not something I look for in my accommodations it is more of the principle of upkeep in establishments, especially if I am booking clients at these places so Cambria did a great job with this. I was informed beforehand that there would be fees for parking, whether self park or valet so that was not a surprise. What was a pleasant surprise is that there was a restaurant on site where I was able to come down and eat before the concert. The food was delicious. I will say it can be a bit confusing as to what you should do when coming into the restaurant due to the fact that there's not someone actively there seating you or directions on just seating yourself. I ended up just sitting at the bar and asking for a menu, but quite a few people came and asked how the bartender how things worked as far as if they wanted to eat dinner, where could they get menus, order, and whether to seat themselves anywhere or would someone seat them. The bartender was amazing and made sure I had everything I needed with my meal. The view to some may not seem like much from my room but there was something refreshing about it that day. The valet was nice as well making sure I received my parking pass to put in my car and was nice to chat with when my sister brought me back after the concert. I will say that with the parking lot being so small and close, the valet parking doesn't make sense but it definitely does for anyone who has to park in the parking garage. This location was centrally located to everything and honestly seemed to be the only part of town that had things open later at night. The bed was abso

Planning an overnight trip to Columbia, SC with my friend (a Columbia native) led us to the Cambria - Vista, and we were so pleased with our stay. The convenience of finding free parking upon arrival was a great start. The front desk clerk was exceptionally kind and personable, going out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. Our room was immaculate and felt very modern, a theme that continued throughout the entire hotel. Despite being in a lively area, our room was surprisingly quiet. We also appreciated the safe and walkable neighborhood, with a variety of restaurants and coffee shops just a short stroll away. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Cambria - Vista and wouldn't hesitate to book it again for future trips.

This is a very nice hotel, convenient to downtown Columbia and plenty of restaurants. Staff is extremely friendly - especially the front desk and Eric, the night time bartender. Great to have parking available. Rooms are quite nice, plenty of storage space, excellent shower! Will definitely stay here again.

Excellent!

Great staff and a super clean hotel! Our second stay at the Cambria and when visiting Columbia, SC in the future it will always be our first choice! The staff is so friendly and the hotel is SO CLEAN!!!!
