Quick overnight stay for a college visit. Loved the room, comfy bed, service location and the vibe. Food was just okay in the bar but the service was great despite the fact that the bartender was all by herself serving the bar and restaurant.

From the minute we walked in the door, Graduate by Hilton Columbia, SC made us feel welcome. Hotel staff, from the front desk clerk to the bartender to our breakfast server, were wonderful. Graduate is the ultimate place to stay when visiting the University of South Carolina!

Best Option Near Downtown
Great one night stay after a bad experience at the Moxy - Downtown Columbia and a Police raid during check-in at the Aloft. What's up with Columbia? The Moxy check-in at the bar was a nightmare. A long line of folks waiting to check-in as bartenders were attending drunks - not cool, cutting edge or even remotely hip. The Staff at the Graduate was prompt, incredibly kind and parking was a breeze.
