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.

Property is great, however, there were a few things that didn’t give it a 5*- slow bathroom sink, TV that was not great- limited selections to watch and it said you could cast to your phone but they don’t have the tv hooked to the internet so you couldn’t use it. Also, since owned by Hilton, they canceled their contract with the in room safe company so you no longer can use the safe. These things are likely not a big deal for most, but couldn’t give 5 star as a result.

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.
