If you're visiting or doing business at the Univ. of SC, you can't beat this hotel. Very reasonable rates, rooms that are nothing fancy (but VERY clean and well-appointed) and a perfect location. The lobby is done up like an old Southern home. Don't miss the library which is downright charming. Fitness center is decent, service is very nice (as... More

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review about your recent stay at the Inn at USC! As you mentioned, the lobby of the hotel is a 101 year old home that we converted into public space and guest rooms. We hope that it gives our guests the feeling that they are staying in someone's home.... More

We stayed here Jan. 27 & 28 while visiting our daughter and her boyfriend who live close by in Cayce, SC. I booked a King Suite for $143/night, the web rate. While this is a charming and well-done renovation of an older home, and very comfortable and scrupulously clean. it is not a super-luxurious inn, just very nice and comfortable.... More

Through the four years our son was at USC we stayed at the Inn whenever we got the chance. Wonderful service, very nice rooms and an outstanding breakfast! Being able to park and walk around the campus and surrounding area is very convenient. We were able to reserve a room for graduation weekend two years prior and lock in the... More

I'm la little less enthusiastic than some reviewers here. Yes, the room was very comfortable. Yes, the staff were friendly and helpful. And the location and parking are fine, especially if you have business at the university. But wifi in my room was spotty, and for a place called both an "inn" and a "boutique hotel" it has a rather... More

I've stayed at the Inn at USC twice and intend to stay there again. It's just a short walk to the center of campus. Very friendly front desk staff. Nice breakfast. It will be full on football weekends so call early. More

My husband and I live in Columbia, and when company overflows our house, the Inn at USC is where we put the excess! We even stayed here one night to "test" it out for our houseguests.
