#2 of 5 hotels in Downtown & Main Street by Axel's take. Downtown & Main Street is #2 of 5 places to stay in Columbia, South Carolina. The best hotels in Downtown & Main Street, ranked · Where to stay in Columbia, South Carolina

Axel's take: 8.2/10

A strong downtown base for clean rooms and friendly service, with awkward parking. a straightforward 3-star hotel in downtown Columbia, scored for what it is.

This straightforward 3-star Holiday Inn is a strong pick for exploring downtown Columbia on foot. Main Street restaurants, Soda City Market and the State House are close by. Expedia and Booking.com guests consistently praise clean rooms, comfortable beds and helpful staff, while Tripadvisor reviews reinforce the warm welcome. We'd choose it for a city break or work trip where location and dependable basics matter more than extensive facilities.

The main compromise is parking: the paid city garage is separate from the hotel, and several guests dislike the alley walk between them. A recent Trip.com guest also reports garage construction, so check access before arriving. Breakfast is generally extra unless included in your booking. We'd skip it if easy luggage unloading, directly connected parking or an included breakfast are priorities.

  • Best for: downtown sightseeing on foot; business travelers; short city breaks

  • Watch out for: paid parking in a separate garage; recent guest report of garage construction; breakfast not automatically included

  • Location: Walkable downtown setting near Main Street dining, Soda City Market and the State House.

  • Rooms: Comfortable beds draw praise; some rooms face nearby buildings rather than open city views.

  • Cleanliness: Strong cleanliness feedback across Booking.com, Expedia and Tripadvisor.

  • Service: Friendly, helpful staff are a recurring strength across review sites.

  • Amenities: Toast to Toast restaurant and bar, a 24-hour fitness center and complimentary Wi-Fi.

  • Fees and surprises: Parking costs extra; garage height restrictions apply, and a recent guest reports construction.
