LOCAL AREA

The capital city of South Carolina is an American historical center brimming with sunshine and southern charm. Offering cool venues and cultural attractions such as the Columbia Museum of Art, the Columbia City Ballet, and the world’s largest fire hydrant, Columbia is well worth exploring.

Your family will love the amazing Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens. The zoo has more than 2,000 animals, pony rides, animal feedings, and a 3-D theater show; only seven miles from us.

Lake Murray is the hotel's answer to enjoying the outdoors. You can fish and swim from the recreation areas at both ends of the dam, or rent a boat for exploring the many islands and having lunch at Dockside Restaurant: just pull up to the dock and order. Riverbanks zoo, the South Carolina State Museum, and EdVenture are all located minutes from the hotel.

Because our convenient hotel's location is near USC, our rooms tend to fill up quickly around the Gamecocks' commencement and football home games at Williams Bryce Stadium downtown. Make sure you book early to ensure you have the room you want near the school.
