- STSangriel TorbjornApr 5, 20265.0Great Service & Great Staff. If your staying here, you will be taken care of like family. The GM cares about each guests needs, and will stop at mothing to make sure they are met. They have a pancake machine, cinnamon rolls, and lots of yummy food in the morning. Work out space has everything you need to keep fit on your travels The Vista is full of wonderful dining options from Casual to Fine Dining. Definitely check out the Hollpw & The Dragon Room while here in DT Columbia Hotel is just a short walk to The Convention Center, Kroger Center, and Finley Park. Make sure to check out Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Gardens (10min drive from hotel), or take a lazy river tube down onenof our beautiful & scenic rivers. Dont Sleep on this great hotel
- JQJoseph QuinnMar 20, 20265.0The Vista Holiday Inn Express is a 3-star hotel with a 5-star staff. I stay there once a week, and the rooms are comfortable, clean, and great for work travel. But other hotels can do those things too. The people that work there really make guests feel like they’re at home.
- TTT ThornhillFeb 26, 20265.0The staff was very nice but most important it was immaculately clean! I would definitely stay here again
- HAHannah AustinFeb 19, 20261.0Beware of this old creep that preys on younger girls. His name is Ephraim aka Lance. My sister whom is 15 rode on his shuttle yesterday. He wouldnt stop staring and made nasty comments the entire time. Even went as far as smacking her butt when we got off the bus. The hotel and airport security refuses to do anything about him. He drives for Doubletree Hotel on bush river rd. Also for Courtyard Marriott downtown. It goes to and from the hotel to the airport in West Columbia. Anyone ever run into him at any other places?
- CTChristine TroskeyFeb 7, 20263.0Room was nice. Parking lot isn't big enough you may have to park in an overflow lot and parking isn't included in room price, it is extra. Breakfast was decent but the hotel was busy and they were consistently out of everything. They would fill it then people who had been waiting would clear the tray and it was out again. Feels like they aren't prepared or maybe not staffed to be busy. Location is convenient to downtown and they did let us stay parked in the lot past check out time.
