Riverside Inn

Friendly and accommodating staff, spacious and clean rooms, and a convenient location make this a perfectly satisfactory place to stay. I had an important early morning business meeting in downtown Columbia; took less than ten minutes to get there by car! Afterwards, it was nice to throw open the curtains and relax in my room (which had a lovely view of the hotel's landscaped grounds and of park space beyond). A short walk to shopping and recreation areas add to the convenience of staying in this attractive, though older, modernist style establishment.

average hotel a few miles to the USC Greek village. Walking distance to grocery store and couple of restaurtants . The bathrooms were not the cleanest, the bathtub could have used an overhaul and door locks were impossible. But the beds looked clean and the staff were great. Good value for the money.

The room was what I needed, clean bed & shower. The room was nothing to brag about and was okay for a one night stay. Complimentary breakfast was offered and there was a pool available. Nothing else to tell. I attended a meeting for work was the reason I was there and this hotel/motel was only minutes from where my meeting was held.

We were in Columbia for the funeral of a family member. This hotel was clean, comfortable & convenient, yet somewhat outdated. The evening front desk clerk was extremely friendly and accommodating.

This is an old hotel that is kept very, very clean. Sits on a very nice grounds in the woods. The Location is so great to downtown, 5 minutes and you are there. Make sure that you don't have any one bedside you cause the rooms are not very sound proofed. Choose top floor. Would stay there again good price and they provide a few items for breakfast.

The room had a coffee machine but no coffee in the room. It is an older hotel but clean enough. Good place to sleep and shower.

We went to Columbia to see the High School State Championship games. When I registered for the night's stay I asked to have a room facing the river, I was told "This is riverside NOT riverview", then asked for an extra pillow and was given two pillowcases and told to stuff the towels in them they didn't have anymore pillows. Upon entering the room it smelled really musty. Then on inspection of the room one of the bedside lamps didn't have a bulb in it and another lamp the cord had been spliced together with a different cord and wrapped with electrical tape. This is NOT at all what I was expecting!!!! The pictures are not at all what is really there.

Better than a expected for the price, and I will return.

The hotel is older but was clean. For the price it was a good value. Came in for the football game and just needed a place to sleep and shower. Would recomend to friends.

This hotel is very over priced for what you get! and yes I know it's cheap, but there is no way they should be charging over $40 a night for this place. Everything is run down and old in the rooms, I realize it is close to USC but come on, at least put in some new carpet?? Ripped up furniture, out of date plumbing- took about 15 mins to adjust shower from scalding hot or freezing cold and don't even get me started on the continental breakfast- eating out of a vending machine would be a step up.
