Hotels near Jim Hamilton–L.B. Owens Airport - CUB, Columbia Owens Downtown Airport

As with any large cities anymore, there are areas of cleanliness issues and vagrants walking around! I came to play golf with a group of 32 men and even the courses have declined over the last few years! We are considering other locations for our week long stay!

Thank goodness for WAZE road mapping. A fair amount of major road construction taking place around the city. We missed our exit but Waze helped us navigate through our mistake. It also provided an alternate route to avoid construction on I26 right outside Columbia.

It was my first visit to Columbia. We enjoyed the Capital, Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE), The Riverbanks Zoo & Garden, Fort Jackson for graduation ceremony and the many restaurants. I will enjoy returning to this beautiful city very soon!!!!!

Traveling around the city was quiet simple, traffic isn't a major issue as you navigate around the city. We also found several wonderful restaurants, most being local. If you are there, try Duck's Donuts, Pawleys's Front Porch, Midwood Smokehouse, and the Juicy Crab. All were excellent locations.

The area where the hotel was seemed kind of ghetto. I saw a lot of loud drunks around. But I was there for my son's graduation at Fort Jackson so I really didn't have to deal with those people .

People were pleasant and helpful! Visit a USC basketball or USC football game for superb entertainment! The fans are very loyal, almost as loyal as UK basketball fans from Kentucky! SEC is the most entertaining league in college sports bar none!
