First time staying at a Hilton Tru and likely my last. The team that worked the hotel was great but the bed and linen were some of the worst I've experienced. The bed was lumpy and so uncomfortable I went down to sleep in my car at one point. Who uses feather pillows in THIS century?? The WORST! No sleep!!

We had a wonderful stay! The service was outstanding—everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful from start to finish. A special thank you to Tiffany, who truly made everything better for our whole group. She went above and beyond and made our experience even more memorable. The hotel was very clean and well maintained, and breakfast was a highlight with great food and plenty of options. We would absolutely stay here again!

Interesting set up in the room, but overall, it has decent space, nice bathroom, and a great areas by the lobby. My daughter enjoyed sitting out by the fire pits. Close to many restaurants!

This was an overnight trip and the hotel was great and clean! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Usually every time I go into a hotel there is always hair in the shower, that was not the case with this hotel. Breakfast was good and hot with great options, and they had grits. We will definitely stay here again if we have to stay overnight in Columbia. I meant to take pictures when we first got there, but I forgot. So, please disregard our bags in the pictures, I took these photos when we were about to leave.
