Top Columbia Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbia SE / Fort Jackson

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Columbia SE / Fort Jackson

8/10 Good
"We needed a stopover place for 1 night while traveling with our cat. This LaQuinta was basic and suited us perfectly. The room had been recently renovated and was very nice. (I couldn't figure out how to adjust the AC thermostat. The room got very cold, so I just unplugged it for a little while. Printed instructions might be helpful.)"
