The South Carolina State Museum and Columbia Museum of Art are both within walking distance. Congaree National Park is 27 km from the hotel, offering a day-trip option for nature exploration.
Pet-Friendly Services
Pet-friendly rooms allow travelers to bring their dogs along for the stay, a convenience not offered at many downtown hotels. The hotel charges a pet fee that is automatically added at check-in. Guests with pets can use the outdoor furniture on the property for their animals.
Activities
The outdoor pool provides a place to cool off during warmer months, while the fitness center offers a space for exercise. The 24-hour front desk and gift shop give guests access to supplies at any hour. Late check-out options are available for those who need extra time before departing.
